Unknown wave 12 and 13 upgrade cards

By Franch, in X-Wing

Since preview articles are pretty hard to come by nowadays, I thought I'd try my hand at guessing what the unknown upgrade cards are:

B/SF-17 Bomber:

Adv(anced) Op(tics): Tech, 3? points, "You cannot (have more than) 1 fo(cus token. During the (End Phase, do not remove an unused focus token from your ship.)"

Cross...Formation: B/SF-17 Bomber only. Title. 2? points, "When de(fending, if there) is at least (1 Resistance Bomber at range) 1-2 of the (attacker, you may) add (1 [focus symbol] to your roll.)"

Defl(ector) Pl???: B/SF-17 Bomber only. (Modification?) ??? points, "When (a friendly bomb) detonates, ???"

TIE Silencer:

Th??? Tra???: Small (ship only). Tech, ??? points, "When...???"

Debris ???: Small (ship only). Elite Pilot Talent, ACTI(ON: Assign) 1 evade t(oken to your ship) for each (obstacle at range) 1, to a m(aximum of 2.)"

M12-L Kimogila Fighter:

Scram(bler) Missi(les): [No visible text]

R5-TK: (Salvaged Astromech Upgrade), 0 points. [No visible text]

Cont(agious?) Cyber(netics?): Illicit Upgrade, 1-2? points, "When you b(ump an enemy) ship durin(g the activation) phase, you (may discard this) card and (receive 1 ion?) token. If you (do, ???) of the round (???) actions a(???) even w(hile you are stressed.)

Sheathipede-Class Shuttle:

Cou(nt?) ???: Crew Upgrade, ??? points, "At t(he ???) Fo(???) cho(ose ???) skill (???)"

M(aul?): Crew Upgrade, ??? points, Scum Only. (???) your squad only (???), When attac(king, if you are not) stressed, (you may receive a) number o(f stress tokens to) reroll that (many of your dice.) After per(forming an attack) that hits(, you may remove) 1 of y(our stress) t(okens.)"

Ch(opper): Astromech Upgrade, ??? points, "ACTION: (Discard one of your?) equipped (upgrade cards to?) rec(over? ???)

Flight ??? Astro(mech): Astromech Upgrade, ??? points, You cannot ??? your ???, "After you e(xecute a maneuver,) if you did (not overlap a ship) or obstacl(e, and there is an) enemy shi(p inside your firing) arc at R(ange ???, you may) perform (a free boost or barrel roll action?")

Flight whatever Astromech is almost certainyl 'You cannot perform attacks outside your primary firing arc, but you've got the rest right.

I like the Maul interpretation.

I really hope Scrambler Missiles is only 3 attack.

Everything else is about what I thought.

If the word "Scrambler" means anything to FFG, it should be a missile attack against two different ships, but I have no idea on the point cost or the attack value.

I think it may give out jam tokens. Either that or Control Cybernetics does jam tokens.

Ahhh, that's a strong possibility. I didn't even think about the new jamming tokens

Yup, Scrambler in this case will probably be in terms of scrambling electronics, not scrambling-as-movement.

It'll be either 3 attack 1 damage, 2 jam (i.e. jamming pulse missiles effectively); or 4 attack, 1 jam, unless I miss my guess.

3 attack 1 damage, 2 jam (i.e. jamming pulse missiles effectively)

Yeah, that would be the better guess I think. THere's only one control missile and 2 control torps so far, so there's not much to go on, but hat would fit the pattern such as it is.

Cont(raband) Cyber(netics): Illicit Upgrade, x points, "When you b(ump an enemy) ship durin(g the activation) phase, you (may discard this) card and (receive 1 stress) token. If you (do, until the end) of the round (you may perform) actions a(s normal) even w(hile you are stressed.)

EDIT: THIS is my best shot

This is my best shot

Plz explain. It makes little sense to me.

The game rules never use the term 'bump' so it's not (or shouldn't be) that.

Hmm... no clue then

I am very excited about the Flight Astromech!

Still hoping for some kind of X-Wing fix. Or at least an upgrade for the T-70s.

Maybe a 0 points Astromech? Or a 2 points Astro with a strong ability ?

Flight Control Astro is a very strong card that goes on X Wings. Just sayin. If it's 2 or 3 points, it's basically generic BB8 when it comes to action economy, when combined with Intensity or Pattern Analyser.

FCA is probably boost or barrel roll, it fits better.
