I'm not so sure we will see Ep8 announced at GenCon. Maybe...
if we do see GenCon Ep8 ships:
T85 X-Wing w/trickle down X-Wing fix & Resistance A-Wing
First Order Interceptor & Bomber
SS54 Assault Ship & Mining Guild tie
6 ship wave
if no ep8 release
N1 Starfighter or Resistance Transport
Tie Predator
Mining Guild Tie
Episode 8 stuff will be shown en masse on Force Friday. That will include FFG's tie in expansions.

So I hope they get some serious inside info about the ships and characters this time.

Fingers crossed - they did for the Rogue One stuff (although no K2-S0 in the U-Wing expansion was a shocker)

Yeah... like rebellions, that statement is built on hope.
Unfortunately, this game, while popular, is such a small operation in the media machine that is Star Wars. Lego, EA will make billions of dollars for Disney/Lucasfilm. At best, FFG will likely make millions at best.

Other than the striker having bombs and the door on a u-wing not being on the front, yeah.
Edited by That Blasted SamophlangeRebel: Lady Luck
Imperial: Rogue Shadow
Scum: Slave II
Yeah... dreams... so:
Rebel: N1- Starfighter
Imperial: Assault Gunboat
Scum: Skipray Blastboat
But that is also impossible whishlist so maybe:
Rebel: Phantom II
Imperial: V-wing
Scum: Mining Guild TIE
Ressistance: Double-A-Wing
FO: Kylo's Interceptor
Would love to see the arc-angel as the first tri-faction ship.

Using Aphra for all three?

Of course :). Black Krrsantan could be imperial and/or scum. Probably make it a scum ship, aphra, krrsantan, generics for scum, with aphra pilots for empire and rebel similar to nym. And the droids as crew

Hmm, I'll take it. maybe that could be the third ship in an "all faction" wave.
Oh, and bonus points if they can make Imp Aphra's ability synergize with Vader crew.

Yeah. It burns lovely when shot at with proper TiEs though.
How about that Thrawn crew now that he's in Destiny, FFG?
Edited by DampfGeckoNew base set feels likely. If not that then a campaign set of some sort.
Maybe it's just because I want either of those things. But they have put out products like that for their other long running competitive games.
As for the next ship wave? I'm guessing FFG will get the drop on last Jedi and actually have new product for force Friday ahead of the movie. They played catch-up with the last few movies but I can imagine it's a big priority for them to hit shelves with the movie ships as soon as they can.
so last jedi ships are next with potentially a base set or campaign set at gencon.
Another set of predictions:
I'd like a new mechanic where ships get stronger the more damage they take. ie. New Scum Crew - 1 cost - when attacking or defending, you may reroll 1 dice for each damage card you have.

On a 12 hull ship
On the 'varying stats by damage' front, I'd like to see a 'squad of small ships' ship, on a large base - maybe Naboo N-1s, ETA-2-Actis, Delta-7 Aetherspite etc - ships that are just a touch too small to look really good alone on a small base.
Then you start them with high attack, low defence, and as they take damage, their attack decreases but their defence increases.
E.g. starting stats 4-1-4-0, for each damage card reduce attack and increase defence by one, and after the first card they're dealt per attack, all other cards are discarded. Mostly crit-proof, and of a fixed life, and very scary to begin with, but when they're left at 1-4-1-0 are they worth the effort to kill?
Daft as it sounds, I'd quite like the Freemaker stuff. Tracker 1 could be a second-generation TIE phantom (allowing an old-phantom compatible title), and the other ships also look very nice.
Ark Angel would be cool, especially with 0-0-0 and BeeTee crew.... and yes, making a Vader/Aphra pairing and 0-0-0/BeeTee pairing work would be cool.
Rebels - Whatever the named characters fly...
Scum - Whatever the smuggler flies... No doubt the highlight of the wave.
Imperial - Whatever ship Thrawn is flying in during Ep. VIII. I can dream, can't I?

Well we do still need our massive health 0 agility ghost/decimator style ship

I had this idea for awhile too. I think the N1 might be big enough to go solo though.
But the delta 7, eta 2, and vultures for sure would all be very small. Might work better to have a pair on a base.
Maybe give normal attack values and let them attack twice in a row like TLT or clusters until one is destroyed then go down to a single attack.
