Here is my guess, based on recent history of the FFG X-wing product pipeline.

Right now we have 5 items in the pipeline. A good guess (based on historic graph) will say we will see a similar total number of items incoming in October, and a single awaited item bringing us through the Feb-Mar doldrums.

We will see the C-ROC leave the pipeline on June 8, and the Wave 11 ships in August or so, leaving only Guns for Hire (looking at an early Dec release, probably).

We can expect a "2nd day of GenCon" announcement for a 4 ship Wave 12 (SWX67-70, announced Aug 8), followed by a 2 ship announcment of The Last Jedi tie-ins ~100 days before the movie (announced Sept. 6 or so). These ships (SWX71 & 72) will "join" Wave 12, but will be released on Dec. 15, while the rest of the wave waits until late Feb 2018.

To tide us over during the bleak times of ~Feb-March, where classically we live on a single unreleased SKU, we could have a nice SWX74 Rebel Veterans pack announced on Dec 14 (for a mid-June release).

As for Wave 12, why not complete my prediction:

SWX67: large base Imperial (Krennic's shuttle)

SWX68: small base Imperial (TIE Reaper)

SWX69: small base Rebel (N-1)

SWX70: small base Scum (Mining Guild TIE)

SWX71: Resistance A-wing

SWX72: Kylo Ren TIE

and

SWX74: X- and Y-wing re-paints with dual Rogue flavor (Rogue One and Rogue Squadron).

I'm still holding out for a tie-in with the upcoming Han Solo movie. Scum Han, Lando, and Chewie \o/

Probably won't get that until late 2018 to tie in with the movie, but I agree those would be pretty awesome.

The movie was moved to May 2018 though.

Seriously? That's awesome!

Maybe they are planning to release 6 different map tile packs, but then they were cancelled immediately.

Krennics shuttle and the Reaper! (another transport)

Are the Imperials doomed to become the Avis of star wars? Do we pick people up from the airport to fund out super weapons?

*sigh*... poor SWX20... the awesome X-Wing product that never was. They even released a whole tantalizing news article!!!

Really now. Also the article has mentioned some re-shoots probably to write off General Leia from the series due to the untimely passing of the Late Carrie Fischer.

Still 2 (or 3) of the 6 missing SKUs can still be movie TIE- in ships. It just that they will be delayed with the movie. Maybe, just maybe they will actually release with the wave they are placed in.

Most of these predictions suck.

Two more imperial shuttles? Scum TIE?

It wasn't moved. That's the only date they've ever given.

But seeing as RO and TLJ were slated for May releases, I'd take that date with a mountain of salt.

I can see that point of view.

I gave preference to recent on-screen stuff yet unreleased. I would assume Krennic will make it into the game somehow.

I also don't fully count First Order as Imperial, so Kylo's shuttle only counts for half.?

I personally might like the TIE Hunter instead of the Reaper, for cool looks, but it would also be cool to see a Reaper escorted by Strikers, a la actual Rogue One footage.

Imps are solidly behind in the large base category, particularly if one discounts (at least partially) the Imp Slave-I. By my reckoning, Imps need another solid large base entry.

The real problem is that we're running out of good ship ideas.

I could see the infamous Mining Guild TIE usurped by Dr. Aphra's ship. I wouldn't like that, personally, but some Star Wars fans like her and her sadistic droid companions.

Double post

This topic is more a prediction for the timing of the next releases (whatever ships they turn out to be), based on historical precedence.

I have been surprised too many times by FFG to be able to correctly pick which particular ships will be released.

Would much prefer a sentinal to Krennic's shuttle. Kylo's shuttle has grown on me but... I'm still mixed on Krennic's. A Sentinal would also be a fitting ship to add crew like Thrawn, Constantine, and Yularen.

I would like, and definitely would buy, a Sentinel-class landing craft.

I might be leaning toward this:

Gen Con day 2 announcement of Wave 12 plus one.

Wave 12: three ships, SWX67, 68, 69.

Plus One: a single release (Scum Epic #2?), SWX72

Secret: two more last-minute, movie tie-in, Wave 12 ships announced later and released first: SWX70, 71. These would almost certainly include Kylo Ren's custom TIE, and just maybe a new Resistance A-wing.

I would rather have the Gunboat, than all of the ships in the op......

THIS!!!! YES!!! This is what I want!!! Heroes of Scarif. X and Y repaints with new pilots. Hopefully some Y pilots with EPTs. Add in some INCOM and Koensayr Refit cards to bring the X and Y back as competitive ships.

Can't the empire get a non shuttle large base ship this time, the Decimator was such an interesting ship we need another large base non shuttle ship to beef out the empire

They look beautiful and fun, but I don't think those tiles would work with how this game is played.

No Star Wars movie this year? Good! Time for the Gunboat!!

(yes, that's how much I want that ship)

• Rebels= N-1 Starfighter (with Leia pilot)
• Empire= Assault Gunboat
• Scum= Rogue-class Starfighter (with Cade Bane pilot)

Others:

• " Rebel Veterans " (Rogue One X-Wings and Y-Wings ace pack)
• Campaign Box

And that's it. My X-Wing life will be complete.
