Well it's the last day before wave 12 is announced - get your final guesses in!

By xanderf, in X-Wing

At least, assumption being that wave 12 will be in two parts, so the "non-Episode VIII" stuff is being announced Friday (the Episode VIII part of wave 12 to be announced in September on 'Force Friday').

My guesses for X-Wing?

  • Assault Gunboat for Imperials
  • YT-2000 for Rebels
  • Mining Guild TIE for S&V

Thread rules - one post, no discussion, no edits, just post your guess.

There are decent discussion threads here:

Wave 12 will be all from the Last Jedi -

Imperials - Kylo Ren's Interceptor (maybe a FO Bomber)

Rebels - That awful new Resistance bomber

Scum - Something OP

Rebels: Swivel-shot A-wings

Imps: Kylo's squint-wannabe

Scum: Sun Crusher/World Devastator dual pack (or maybe nothing)

Imps: TIE Reaper

Rebels: N-1 Starfighter

Scum: small base starfighter.

Movie side-by-side release:

FO: TIE Silencer

Resistance: Resistance A-Wing

Empire will get a TIE Silencer and a First Order TIE Bomber.

Rebels will get a new Resistance A-wing and a Resistance Bomber.

Scum will get something that hasn't been sufficiently playtested. The 6th missing SKU is Scarif Veterans.

More of a wish, but I think it is time to redo older ships with small exapnsions. So a T-65 with R1 blue squadron paintjob and pilots, a TIE Interceptor in grey, perhaps a standalone Y-Wing for scum. To be seasoned with Resistance A-Wing and TIE Silencer on Force Friday.

I'd be incredibly surprised if The Last Jedi ships were be part of this weekend's announcement. It should come on Force Friday in September - just as all product tie-ins to the new movies have done for the last two years.

My guess is on the TIE Hunter for the Empire
It wraps up the four ships from the Classified Flight Yards with Captain Fel >> Aggressor, Defender, Phantom & Hunter.
It has s-foil wings so it would be a natural pack to put in something that boosts the T-65 as well

Tie Hunter probably.. after executing maneuver do boost.. I'm calling one shield so Imperium gets their "own" shield regen.

Like for the Assault Gunboat. Hate for the Mining Guild TIE.

My take:

  • Assault Gunboat - Empire
  • N-1 Starfighter - Rebels
  • Rogue-class Starfighter - Scum

Imperial: Sith Infiltrator, Tie Silencer, Tie bomber FO

Rebels: New Awing and bomber

Scums: nothing :ph34r:

If history is anything to go by, there'll be no Last Jedi ships tomorrow.

Everything else is anybody's guess.

We've always had leaks of a wave before announce, right? I've not heard any leaks.

We have?

Also, points for breaking the "rules" when nothing is forcing me to comply.

Boo yah!

The "leak" is just the powerpoint presentation that someone live tweets from the meeting room at GenCon, prior to FFG putting it up on their website.

6 map tile packs.

rebels: N-1 Starfighter / Resistance A-Wing

Imperials: Tie Silencer / Ark Angel (with Beetee and triple zero crew cards!)

Scum: Skipray Blastboat /Ark Angel dual card

If they go ark angel they might as well make it the first tri-faction ship with Dr. Aphra pilots for every faction. Though I'd lean more towards it being mainly scum over the others (black kaaarrstan as another pilot for scum, while it's really only amphra for other factions). And of course crew for the droids.

I think the problem is there are 3 categories for upcoming ships: what we want, what we need, and what we actually get.

What I want is the N1 (a chance to fly Bravo Squad and Leia), the Otana, and a RogueOne X-wing/Y-wing update.

What the game needs is another ship utilizing the stealth mechanics and a solid Rebel arc dodger with teeth.

What we are going to get are Ep8 tie-in's, and possibly a 3rd Falcon release =(

TIE/INs!?

FO interceptors confirmed!

It's going to be a 2 set release, with one set being prequel ships and the other being last jedi and tfa ships. Prequel pack will have the scimitar for imperials, n1 for rebels and the gx1 short hauler for scum.

last jedi set will be the resistance bomber, tie silencer and... Some as yet unseen scum ship.

Missing sku will be battle of scariff set with fixes for t-65 and u-wing.

And since green dice sides are shaped like triangles...!

Imperial- TIE something

Rebel- Something people will whine about being a buff to Biggs.

Scum- Something people will whine about being OP.

Rebels: N-1 Starfighter

Imperials: Eta-2 Interceptor

Scum: Belbullab-22 Starfighter
