Well instead of the Gunboat (sorry fans of the TIE Fighter series) there are the ships in the background of this card.

The thread you can already see is here

I wonder if this ship will be able to have the reverse maneuvers.

Someone proposed reverse maneuvers and a white stop.

I can see both red and white reverse maneuvers. The X-wing Helos are here folks.

Assault Gunboat

Too late, We already know what the next imperial ship is going to be. Considering it is already in the Artwork for X-wing.

It would be nice if they pull the gunboat or Alpha Class Star Wing from the SWG game into X-wing, but I guess the mouse has other ideas.

I would love the Phantom II as a cheaper two dice ship that comes with a set of Ghost/Phantom II titles that allow rear arc shots while docked and have a smaller other bonus that is tied to the Ghost title, so it stays permanently. Similar to what we have now, but different.

...fortunately the artwork doesn't mean a thing, Marinealver. If it did, we've have had Yevethan Type-D Trifoil Fighters in the Scum faction a long, long time ago...

lol, all this time I thought those were Kihrax Fighters. After all we saw the Scyk in Wave 5 before we knew about the 3rd faction. Well wave 4 was an interesting time for X-wing, it was still unsure about which direction X-wing will be going so anything was up for grabs even new republic fighters just like this (because face it the Rebellion was over by the time this came out). Well I think Wave 8 solidified it firmly into Disney verse and Wave 9 ensured that the newer movies and Rebel ships would take priority.

I was thinking, pint in hand, what I would do if I were FFG. I think it might go like this:

1. Nerf Biggs as part of the Scum reduction procedure in the newest FAQ.

2. Immediately announce a new Rogue One Expansion pack that has the painted Blue Squadron X-Wing with two Titles in it to give the X-Wing just a bit of love even Biggs can have. I'm thinking both of the titles require the entire squad to be T-65s as a requirement, but, one Title buffs torpedoes (makes them cost 0 or a more accurate, free new torpedo accuracy mod), and the other gives her a free maneuverability mod for free.

But then, that's just an armchair quarterback kinda idea....

Biggs doesn't need to be nerfed before the X-Wing is buffed, hes basically just extra health for your other ships so anything that buffs only offense and/or mobility won't do much to him.

I'm not expecting the XG1 till wave 14-15, as the suprise han solo movie ship.

Since this wave has the suprise TLJ ships, the Large Base Resistance Bomber, Resistance Awing, and Kylo Rens Advanced Tie Intercepter (with title for non royal guard tie intercepters) seem a shoe in.

Scum is still scraping the bottom of the barrel, so no idea what they would add.

Assault Gunboat

The Gunboat is never going to happen, I thought people would have figured that out by now. Outside like a dozen people on this forum very few people care about it at all and many don't even know what it is. Moreover they are never going to make a small base Imperial ship that isn't a TIE because even the most obscure TIE has a design aesthetic that anyone just walking in off the street can look at and go "Oh that's an Empire ship from Star Wars." The TIE look is is one of the most iconic things about the Empire and FFG knows this, did you read the Aggressor spotlight last week?

"Flying in the skies of occupied worlds, these TIEs served as reminders of the Empire's power and ambition. They helped establish its cruel order. They represented the Empire and its tyrannical regime. And they are the ubiquitous reminders of the Empire's far-reaching military might in X-Wing ™ .

From the Classic Core Set and Wave I through the releases of the TIE interceptor , TIE bomber , TIE phantom , TIE defender , TIE advanced prototype , and TIE Striker , the TIE fighter and its many variants have fought to preserve the Empire's interests throughout the galaxy and around the globe.

Now, the upcoming release of the TIE Aggressor Expansion Pack looks to add new muscle and utility to this line of TIE variants, even as it hews closely to the aesthetics and mechanics that allow it to serve as an unmistakable symbol of Imperial power."

Its a love letter to the TIE line and underlines basically every point I've made about the Gunboat for years because not only does every single TIE look leagues better then it FFG would be unimaginably foolish to give up that kind of brand recognition.

Wow, salty fella huh?

Don't think Biggs needs a nerf and you say no to the Gunboat; bet you're a hoot at parties ???

Not really, it's just been brought up a dozen times in every single speculation thread for the last three years in addition to invading many completely unrelated topics, **** gets old.

Biggs is fine because his entire role is boosting the lifespan of other ships, so as long as /those/ ships stay balanced there is little danger in him becoming OP unless they make all X-Wings OP.

We'll just agree to disagree on both points. The Gunboat would be awesome for lots of players and the threads and jokes are fine; lighten up a tad. But Biggs, heck any ship that shows up --since its inception-- in practically every winning list of any faction as an auto-include clearly shows a real design problem; Biggs mind altering power must be nerfed, period. The designers know this and have known this. Now that the Emperor is dead (or in a retirement home) so shall Biggs join him. Bet cha....

Biggs already had a small nerf in that he no longer forces you to use a weapon that can hit him if you want to use one that can't, and he's not that pervasive. He actually completely disappeared from the meta for a good while until IA revived him. He's definitely useful but only because he's totally disposable and it's unlikely that any X Wing buff will change that because again his whole point in a list is to die first.

I'm not in bad humour over the Gunboat, I'm just pointing out logically why it's never going to happen lol. Besides, an integral part of the Gunboat jokes is making fun of the Gunboat.

I think we will get a rogue one x-wing y-wing maybe a n-1

Last jedi will be fo interceptor maybe a-wing

And I think scum could get darth maul / pre vizsla ship the gauntlet

I think the FO Interceptor is a pretty safe bet if it doesn't get a special promotional launch first, they'll want that thing on the shelves by TLJ's opening weekend to take full advantage of the hype.

Scum is a good guess, they've been leaning on the cartoons a lot lately.

I really don't think we are getting another X-Wing release any time soon, the ship already has a ton of pilots and is in six different boxes if you count the T-70. Any boost it may get will likely come from the inevitable Y-Wing/E-Wing Rebel veterans box whenever that comes out.

I'm sure ican't predict what what FFG i planning so i'll dream a little bit. Scurrug bomber gave me hope for idea that've came to my mind a long time ago - Dual Faction Ships.

-Rogue Shadow from The Force Unleashed - Rebel/Empire - with pilots like Juno, Galen or General Kota, First big ship with Cloak Action.

-SoroSuub Luxury Yacht - Rebel/Scum - big ship with tittles "Lady Luck" and "Jade Fire", and pilots like Mara and Talon Karde for scum, and Lando, Lobot, Pakpekat for Rebel.

And standard one faction sets:

-Pursuer "Slave2"- Scum - Second ship of Boba Fett from Dark empire comics, second ship from asymetric dial, and Boba, Dengar as pilots.

-Assault Gunboat (as above)

But I'm sure they go for one of these:

-Mining Guild Tie -Scum

-"Phantom II" - Rebel - another prequel ship in the game

-Tie Reaper -Empire- maybe some boarding actions

-N-1 Naboo starfighter - Rebel - Leia and Shara piloting

-"Scariff Weterans" - Rebel - Fixes for T65 and new pillts for Y-wing

Good Lord no. Can you imagine Juno's ability on a ship with cloak? It would make Echo weep from envy, and that's not even accounting for a large base.

So there's currently six unnanounced SKUs.

I'm not a gambling man, but If I was I'd put my money on a Wave XII announcement at GenCon at the end of August. Once again three ships - one Rebel, one Imperial, one Scum. Given what we saw in Wave 11's announcement (where I was expecting more Rogue One ships), these could be pretty much anything now.

Then I'd expect a Last Jedi announcement at Force Friday, first week of September. These are probably nailed on to be:

• Last Jedi Core Set (still two TIE/fo's and one T-70, updated/expanded rules)
• Resistance A-Wing
• First Order Interceptor

...with the latter two "added" to Wave 12, but released the week The Last Jedi hits the cinema.

I'd like to see a Scarif Veterans pack at some point (Blue Squadron X-Wing / Y-Wing, new pilots, astromechs and upgrades), not sure we'll see an announcement for something like that until after Guns For Hire comes out now though.

Juno's ability on RS would difer from the one from Tie Adv I presume. Like Marek Stele, when he's changeing vessel his ability is diffrent - make sense.

I'm still waiting for Doctor Aphra and the Ark Angel, packaged similarly to the Havoc so that Aphra herself can fly for the Empire as well as sticking to Scum like the rest of the pilots.

Pilot and crew cards for Aphra, Black Krrsantan, Triple Zero and BT-1, lots of illegal weapons and illicit options for your fleet.

You know Maarek's ability doesn't change between ships, right?

FFG have suggested in interviews that the rule is: same era, same pilot, same faction = same ability. SO if you change the era (e.g. TFA Han/Chewie) or faction (e.g. Scum Sabine), you get a different ability, but if you keep the same era and faction (e.g. Hera, Sabine, Maarek), their ability stays the same.

Oh, my bad. I was sure they're different.

But, that means Rebel Juno would be different.

If we have six unassigned SKUs, the logical assumption is that that means we're going to see the exact same pattern we saw for TFA: The previously announced three ship wave will gain two ships, making it a five ship wave. That's most likely Kylo's new TIE Interceptor and either the Resistance A wing or the Resistance Bomber (I'd lean slightly towards the bomber, since it seems to be getting more early notice/promotion (the lego set etc.), but it could go either way). Then, Wave 12 will most likely be whatever's left:

• The Resistance A Wing (Assuming the Bomber went out in Wave 11, they could easily be swapped)
• Another FO ship if one is made available by the new movie, if not, something from Rogue One (Krennic's Shutt;e or the TIE Reaper seem most likely, but the Cargo Shuttle is a dark horse).
• 2 Ships for scum pulled from some random place.
