Nope. Wave 12 will likely be announced at GenCon. The Least Jedi ships will be announced seperately on Force Friday in September, then "added" to Wave 12.

Wave 12 will be one rebel, one Imperial, one Scum.

I'd be down for a release to an actual wave and then two extra ships lie we had for rogue one, who knows?

Good point

What surprises me is that the TIE Striker and U-Wing were the only ships we've seen from Rogue One.

Krennic's Shuttle, the TIE Reaper and the Cargo Shuttle are all still possibilities for new ships, while the Partisan X-Wing and Blue Squadron X-Wing and Y-Wings are ideal material for repaints in a Veteran's pack.

At least FFG has some of those ships in their back pocket shoul they ever be in dire need of designs

Considering that Battlefront 2 is meant to be Canon:

"Shattered Dreams" - A XMG Expansion
Two Inferno TIE Fighters + One Partisan T65c X wing

5 x TIE pilots: Academy, Obsidian, Inferno Squad (PS6), Ace (PS7) + Iden Versio (PS8)
4 x X wing pilots: Rebel Extremist (PS1), Partisan Fanatic (PS3), Edrio "Two Tubes" (PS6) + Saw Gerrera (PS7)
4 x "Elite of the Elite" TIE title cards (adds EPT slot if you don't already have it)
4 x "Designation: Inferno Squad" modification cards - TIE Only - PS5 and above Only - After rolling and re-rolling attack dice, if you have exactly two hit results, you may add an additional hit result.
4 x T65c X wing title cards
2 x R6 Astromech cards
2 x High Yield Munitions (Purchasable upgrade for missile and torps)
2 x Crew cards (Iden Versio and Saw Gerrera)
1 x New EPT

And so long as they remain in the realm of possibility I'll be happy.

There's already too many shuttles in this game.

Oh you must be referring to the other expansion:

4 x Y wing pilot cards: Gold Squadron, Gray Squadron Veteran (w/EPT), Ekelarc Vong (w/EPT) + Lt Telsij (w/EPT)

2 x "Designation: Blue Squadron" Title cards - X wing Only
2 x "Seasoned Veteran" modification card - Y wing - Adds EPT to your upgrade bar if you don't already have it.
4 x new generic astromechs
2 x new "unique" astromechs
1 x Chirrut Îmwe Crew Card
1 x K2-SO Crew Card
1 x New EPT
1 x New Modification Card
1 x Modification Card "UT-60D U-wing Gunship" - 3 points - U wing Only
"When attacking you may instead target a ship, even outside of your firing arc, if the defender suffers at least one damage, assign that ship 1 Ion token."

Empire - Director Krennic's Shuttle

Rebels - T-Wing

Scum and Villainy - Maul's Kom'rk-Class Fighter (With Maul crew)

If Imperials get another shuttle I will scream. UNLESS, it can either turn around, or has a mobile arc, or a 180 arc, or a rear arc or something.

Kom'rk will almost certainly not be a standard-play ship. It's longer AND wider than the Ghost.

The Least Jedi announcements will be:

• A rebranded The Last Jedi Core Set (2 x TIE/fo, 1 x T-70, updated rules, maybe new pilots/upgrades)

Oh God, please no.

Search your feelings Odanan.

*checks likes* *checks responses* My, my... what a dichotomous event

Haha! Yes, I understand more Scum ships would help, but with some fixes coming in for the existing ships, people might play around with those lists for a while too.

In RE to Maul, a Scimitar ship would be an awesome add for the Imperials. The Scum ship could be whatever Maul flies in the EU.

Rebels: N1 Starfighter (Princes Leia)

Empire: Assault Gunboat

Scum: Gauntlet (Darth Maul)

Let the Episode 8 stuff (Kylo's TIE and Resistance Bomber) for AFTER the movie.

Wow, normally the gunboat is like the 2nd or 3rd post when people are asking about future releases :-)

My prediction for wave 12 is definitely ships from The Last Jedi. I also think we will have some other unannounced products between wave 11 and 12. Some kind of "ace pack" (or fixes for existing ships) for both rebels and imperials. My guess would be something with the Punisher and the Decimator for Imperials (the Tank pack ) or more likely Punisher+Tie Phantom. For Rebels my guess would be double X-wing (old and new one).

Now wave 12 (last Jedi):

Rebels: 100% sure a new Awing, a "Old luke" crew card

Imperials: 100% sure new Kylo interceptor, a leader snoke crew card (to replace poor Palp), maybe a ship with Phasma (or she could be a pilot for the new Interceptor). A mini deathstar to rule them all :-)

Scums: Leave them out of the wave! :-) Seriously that one is a lot harder to predict. I dont remember seeing in the trailer anything that was "scum for sure".

I'm going for ships that give some interesting mechanics to new factions.

Rebel:

- Resistance transport (giving access to a new (General) Leia Organa crew card as well as slots for 2 crew, system, coordinate and tech).

Imperial:

- V-wing (with Q7 astromechs)

- GAT 12 Skipray Blastboat (cross-faction with Scum) with mobile firing arc, crew, different titles accessing torpedoes, missiles and canon.

Scum

- GAT 12 Skipray Blastboat (se above) with Mara Jade Scum pilot and Talon Karrde crew.

I completely forgot about the Skipray. That would be a good ship to bring in, particularly if that gets me a Mara Jade pilot card and Talon Karrde in some form.

But aside from that, it has none of the same characteristics of other epic ships. Plus, when you factor in that some of the epic ships have a different scale to the rest of the ships, the better part of valor is to just scale the Kom'rk down and make it a large base ship.

We know scum are getting an "Aces" box, and because of this I don't 5hink they need any new ships. Neither ship is really used, so if the fixes/upgrades are good enough it will be like two new ships tbh. Plud I imagine in TLJ there will be something that appears that will be a scum ship. Likewise Rebels still have time to offer more ships.

Aces pack has nothingt o do with it. The aces boxes are out-of-wave releases fixing old ships. Imperials and rebels both got aces packs last year but that didn't stop them from also getting new ships. And so far there's never been a wave that didn't have at leats 1 ship for every available faction.

i'm fairly confident wave 12 will follow the same formula as waves 8 and 10. It'll be announced (probably around september) with 1 ship for each wave, none of them from the new movie. Then on Force Friday they'll announce new ships from the movie that are "added" to wave 12 (even though they're announced later and will release alongside the movie instead of with the rest of the wave).

Hopefully FFG will inform this time about those new ships (and pilots) from the new films before releasing their ships.

It'd be nice if they had pilots and fluffy ships instead of random generic names like the TFA stuff. And the TIE SF that can't "really move" (as much as I love the ship)

TLJ was delayed from a summer to a holiday release - it's possible that means FFG has had longer time to work with pre-release materials from the film and we know that since Rogue One they've had a much tighter relationship to work on concepts from the films (there was even an article on Star Wars.com about FFG and some of the process they do to make X-wing expansions and how the U-Wing and Striker involved codenames to obscure spoilers and things). Some of that obviously depends on the reasoning for the delay though.

Then there might be hope for a Gunboat It must be the most wanted ship in the game.
