Still one missing SKU!!!

By drail14me, in X-Wing

The really strange part is that the missing number is right in the middle of other things called "Wave 12"

Which are themselves AFTER two things now called "Wave 13"

If it's an Epic I want the Imperial Customs Corvette. Would fit well with the goal of eradicating Scum.

really cool ship, but it would be 4 feet long

campaign pack!

Probably another huge ship. Perhaps the scum corvette.

My hopes begin with nothing sequel trilogy. I enjoy The Force Awakens. Unlike the prequels I own a copy and have watched it a few times. It joins Rebels, Rogue One and the Original Trilogy during a Star Wars marathon without prejudice. But there's still plenty of Rebels and Rogue One ships that haven't been released. Hey, they still haven't released everything from The Force Awakens. We're still missing the Resistance and First Order Transports.

Here is what I'm hoping for, in no particular order:

Hammerhead Corvette (not sure of size but hope it fits the 1/270 scale)

The Dornean ship (Bah'tok or something like that)

Sentinel Transport

Gauntlet

Scarif pack to update X and Y wings.

Krennics Shuttle

The Tie Transport from Rogue One

The Empire Transport (Zeta class?)

The Empire could have an Epic in the form of the Eta(?) class cargo transport from Rogue One

Phoenix Squadron A Wings

Phoenix Squadron X Wings

Prototype B-Wing from Rebels

Phoenix Squadron CR-90 (highly doubt it and I'm not a huge fan of sliding scale in X-Wing. Love both Gozanti, but not a fan of the shrunken Corvette and Raider. Also highly doubt we'll see this until FFG are really desperate for ideas)

The modified Firespray from the Darth Vader comics

Leia's transport from the Leia Comics

N1 from Shattered Empire comics (not my thing but still canon GCW)

I don't play video games but there's likely ships I've not mentioned that appear in games and are now Canon.

Plenty of Galactic Civil War era ships that FFG could put out and wait to do the Sequel ones until more is known about them. If I had to pick one from the list above as my most eagerly wanted and anticipated ship it would be the Hammerhead Corvette. Would be a good way to update the aging CR-90, and introduce characters as crew from the series. Perhaps even a Raddus.

A ace pack :

Want one with Tie Interceptor (Grey color) and vt-49 (or lambda) since we have new pilots from armada.7

Or two A-wing from Rebels with two differents paint (a la Imperial Aces)

Or rogue one with a new u-wing and blue xwing (or blue xwing with partisan xwing)

Or a campaign box

A man can dream...

No idea what it really is based on how it's hiding in the mix, but I have a wish list:

Rogue One ace pack, Resistance A-wing with thematic pilots to the new film plus goodies for old and new ships, scum epic would be pretty fun if a bit unexpected...

anything but another bomber please.

Something for Scum to even out stuff!

I know what that mystery SKU is...

YO MAMA!!!!!

How do I know? Because I SKU'd her, that's why!

Resistance needs more ships, especially if that B/SF-only title or mod we can see in the spread does indeed give it a bonus based on specifically Resistance ships flying nearby. Of course, that might also be our second upgrade of the "IG-2000" variety, encouraging squadrons of multiple Resistance bombers by giving them some sort of cumulative bonus (and of course getting people to buy multiple $40 ships).

Still, First Order has the TIE/fo, TIE/sf, Upsilon Shuttle and soon the TIE Silencer. Resistance has the T-70 and soon the bomber. They need another ship or two. And if the reason we're waiting on an A-Wing is that Luke is a pilot, I'm 100% okay with that. Give me Luke with his X-Wing ability in an A-Wing please!

I think you're right about the cumulative bonus. The way they are lined up in the preview reminds me of the fighters interlocking in Guardians of the Galaxy.

It's 180m long, so hardly four feet. Still larger than anything else though.

I'd love for a Rogue One Aces pack ! And maybe a little kick the striker needs included. That is my dream wave for sure.

Resistence has YT/1300 as well. Can't forget the Falcon!

A Tyderium and Partisan 'aces' pack. Lambda shuttle with slightly different color scheme (maybe more grey and less white, or what ever they need to do to get it more movie accurate) and a Partisan X-wing.

Lambda pilots: Han, Chewie, Capt. Rex (he was the bearded rebel on endor, after all) and Rebel Commando for generic.

Tyderium title similar to Stolen TIE.

X-wing pilots: General Merrick (blue leader), some Partisan guys, other scarif pilots. Maybe Zev Senesca and Dak (Luke's gunner on Hoth).

Y-wing pilots: Tiree, Pops, both with EPTs.

U-wing Pilot: K-2SO

New Luke and Leia crew cards

Saw Garrera crew

Scum huge!!

I really wanted the resistance A-wing to be announced instead of the Bomber, but as many have said, I think there are too many question marks surrounding it to release it before the movie comes out. Luke may fly one, we know Poe flies his modified T-85, but we also see it potentially get blown up in the trailer, so does he fly an A-wing at some point? etc. etc. I think they will hold off on that release, as much as I want it now :P

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess an Epic play 'Heroes of Scarif' campaign pack with the Hammerhead Corvette and a blue squadron T-65.

I'd really like to see it include a T-65 fix, maybe along the lines of a couple new titles, and an Antoc Merrick pilot, a Hammerhead designed in-line with the Gozanti and C-ROC, and Admiral Raddus, K2-SO, and Chirrut Imwe crew cards.

I think a small ship HoS pack might include a Y-wing, but I don't think FFG consider the Y-wing in need of an update, so I think it would be great to see another X-wing coupled with a mid-range Rebel epic ship.

Now here comes the theory crafting; ;)

The Blue One (X-wing only. Title.) (unique) 1pt- You may equip up to 2 different title upgrades. After you perform an attack, you may perform remove a stress token from a friendly ship at range 1. You cannot equip this card if your pilot skill is "6" or lower. You cannot equip this card if your shield value is "3" or higher.

T-65B (X-wing only. Title.) 0pt. - Your action bar gains the barrel roll action. After you execute a 3-speed bank maneuver, if you are not touching another ship and you are not stressed, you may receive 1 stress token to rotate your ship 180 degrees. You cannot equip this card if your shield value is "3" or higher.

Antoc Merrick (PS7) 27pts - At the start of the combat phase, if there is an enemy ship inside your firing arc at Range 1-3, you may perform a free action.

Admiral Raddus (Crew) (Epic Only) 2pts - At the start of the 'Place Forces' step, you may choose to treat your pilot skill value as "12" until the end of the step. Each round at the end of the activation phase, you may gain 1 energy for each ship you are overlapping.

K2-SO (Crew) 1pt - When defending, after rolling defense dice, you may choose to discard this card to cancel all dice results.

Chirrut Imwe (Crew) 4pts - The first time an enemy ship declares you as the target of an attack each round, assign the "I'm One with the Force" Condition card to the attacker.

"I'm One with the Force" - When defending against a ship with the "I'm One with the Force" condition card, you may cancel up to 2 of the attackers hit results. Remove this condition card at the end of the combat phase.

I dig the titles and Merrick. K2-SO, not so much but then I'm not a huge fan of crew cards you throw away. Raddus... his ability isn't bad, but not for Raddus. Raddus should do something that benefits an Epic ship... in my opinion. I mean, those things can smash through asteroids and small ships with little issue. Don't make him a Palpatine or anything. Maybe grant a free reinforce action to another ship at range 1-2? Though, that might be game breaking if he's on something like a YT-1300 or the Ghost... maybe add a "unless stressed" or "huge ship only" condition to his card.

Thanks! I based K2's crew ability on his sacrifice to save Cass and Jyn. I hope to see him as a U-wing pilot eventually with a different ability altogether.

I'm not super set on Raddus. I didn't want to give him a ramming type ability as epic ships do it already. I had originally thought about an ability that caused the ship you hit to change its dial, but everything I thought of was too close to BoShek so I gave up on that idea. The ability I did give him combo's quite nicely with BoShek though. I think he might have to be epic only, maybe something like 'You may gain 1 energy for each ship you are overlapping at the end of the activation phase'?

He's hard to design for as epic's already destroy anything smaller with an overlap, and epics can't be ionised etc.

I'm guessing we'll find out what this SKU is not long after Guns or Hire is released.

Maybe they are waiting to announce Benicio Del Torro's/DJ's ship, and since he's character may or may not be Ezra, they can't really show anything yet?

Considering that we have 2 Rebel, 2 Imperial and 1 Scum lined up, the missing SKU is likely to be a Scum ship.
