Yeah but it gets deployed first and anything that touches it blows up instantly.

It will come with a title for Luke Skywalker that let's him destroy it with a proton torpedo.

Sabines X-Wing

Well, seeing as she's flying one in the Season 4 trailer, I fully expect to see a Hera X-Wing pilot pop up at some point.

Which will be awesome. Her ability with R2 Astromech? Yes please!

And a modification for Vader that lets him do infinite barrel rolls till he has left the play area

As always, I will hold put hope of a ground based add on, or the x-wing canon upgrade, that is the dreaded x-wing 2.0 or preferably advanced rules upgrade set with new cards, cardboard, and new dice types that change the game for the better.

Spinning is a good trick, after all.

My prediction:

• Wave 12 revealed... with ships... ok, won't guess. I'll never get it right, anyway.
• Epic ship revealed for next year release

It also comes with a modification. Chicken wire fence over exhaust ports. To keep out rodents.

Fixed that for you.

SPOILER WARNING FOR THE LAST JEDI




Battlefront 2 premium release pack details "The Last Jedi" exclusive content if purchased. Whilst most of it is just re-skins of Rey, Kylo and Chewbacca, they also mention an upgraded and re-skinned TLJ Falcon, New TLJ F/O hero fighter (Kylo?) as well as a new TLJ resistance hero fighter (Poe?) to use on specific maps.

Not to mention Phasma is rumored to get a push.

With that being said, I would not be surprised if it is indeed TLJ content, maybe not specifically x-wing, but Imperial Assault could see some Rey, BB-8, Kylo and Phasma models, as well as Hux.

Scum - a horrifically undercosted 3/3/5/5 monstrosity with all the upgrade slots and a PS3 elite generic

Don't forget that it'll be a 'large'-base, too. Gotta have that extra fire arc coverage!

Hmmmm...what could have those stats. Maybe...Hondo Ohnaka's ship, the Last Chance ?

As a close variant to the Imperial Shuttle, an attack of '3' with 5 hull and 5 shields makes sense naturally. Because FFG can't stop making the Scum faction OP, sure, let's give it 3 agility (for the LULs)...

E/X-Wing buffs.

Gunboat.

No. More. Shuttles.

Just because of this, I'm expecting the next wave to include the never-before-seen EU ship: the Nomor-class Shuttle!

I predict there will be an announcement.

I predict people won't like it.

I predict it won't be what we want.

I hope it's Kylo (that helps old interceptors), resistance Awings, resistance bomber, and a Tie Reaper (w/ a thing that helps strikers bomb).

I predict that not everyone wants the same thing, so no matter what, it can't be what everyone wants, and therefore, this being the internet, there will be vocal people who are very angry over whatever it turns out to be

That's kinda the point...

Scum:

Fix box for Jumps

Scum:

Fix box for Fangs

Scum:

Fix box for Shadows

#please don't do this

I got an idea. a second title to the jump master. Cuz yknow, we dont see it used often enough as a turret. Make a second title so you can turret while you turret.

8 pts, punishing Two, inc primary weapon by +2.

No, it can't be punishing, then you can't run the two together!

This won't happen, but the Ebon Hawk would be so awesome! Or the scimitar.

It would be safe we will have 3 ship and later "the last jedi" wave to complete just like they do for now.

My prediction :

Rebel : Phantom Mk2 or Naboo Starfighter (with Leia please)

Empire : Tie hunter please ! One of my favorite tie variant.

Scum : Mining Guild tie fighter : Scum have a lot of fun now with filler ship !

I hope we get a big base bomber in the resistance bomber. That would be something new. But for the rest of the Ep 8 Lego stuff I am really underwhelmed. Its just so conservatively safe.

Based on the images of it in the first TLJ Trailer is should be at least as huge as the FFG Ghost, so it is basicly a Gon Gon Zillah and should count as another Small EPIC Huge Ship .

NEW-REB BOMBER GOES HERE!

If it's Ep. 8 stuff then Kylo's Interceptor, Resistance A-Wing, New Resistance Bomber, and fill in the blank scum that's in Ep. 8.

If it's not Ep. 8 stuff then Phantom MK2, TIE Reaper, and Mining Guild Tie Fighter.

Fingers crossed for proper TIE Punisher titles!

Huge, multi-epic prequel / rogue one wave

REBS: Hammerhead corvette with blue squadron x-wing and fixes for the ship. LAAT alliance assault craft variant

IMPS: Arquitens with TIE fighter and fixes to make imp swarms viable and maybe scarif scenario? Scimitar Sith Infiltrator and/or Gunboat.

SCUM: Star Jewel with HWK fixes for both scum and rebel versions. Gauntlet fighter multi-faction epic with Protectorate fighter repaint and new options for that ship.

You know what, I'm gonna go for broke and predict that the next wave is gonna have three ships that work for all three factions. The Gaunlet Fighter (large base), the V-Wing, and the Ark Angel (large base). All three will have at least one pilot for all three factions (possibly more, including generics), and introduce the Imperial Astromech slot and upgrade cards. Joined to this will be the Episode 8 stuff, though I think the Resistance Bomber will be held back like the Quad Jumper was for a later wave. Possibly a Hammerhead epic expansion, with some fixes for the U-Wing (including K-2) and maybe some X-wing swag.

Hopes:

- Imperial: Assault Gunboat

- Rebel: N-1 Starfighter (with Leia)

- Rogue-Class Starfighter

Later add-ons:

- Imperial: Kylo's TIE

- Rebel: Resistance Bomber

- Scum: ?

Other:

- Rebel Veterans (Rogue One X-Wings and Y-Wings)

- Maul's Gauntlet (maybe too big for the Large base?)

Gauntlet is WAY too big for a large base. It's bigger than the Ghost, and that's already way too big for a large base.

I'd love to see a wave composed of two or three ships which all have pilots for all three factions though. Best way to make Scum not broken is to make everybody Scum...
