This is one of the things I've been wondering about.
With only four FO ships and three Resistance ships currently in the game, some additions will need to come pretty quickly to flesh out these groups out. And while I do think that the Resistance is likely to get some A-wing pilots to even them up in the model count, I was wondering what other ships FFG could conceivably add to the rosters for the new factions. What's out there for these guys that could make for an interesting ship in X-wing?
Resistance A-Wing is a gimmie.
Anyone see anything new in the comics?
T-85? We will see what happens with EP9 and the Resistance cartoon.
Regardless of what the actual ships are, I wouldn't be surprised if wave 2 was exclusively Resistance/FO.
While it wasn't in the movie, I reaaaaaallly want to see a TIE F/O Bomber.

They'll certainly need some kind of an ordnance carrier; the First Order currently doesn't have one. A FO Bomber actually seems really likely from a design standpoint.
That's another angle to take: what do the factions need? And how will the designers look to fill those needs, and how will they mold the faction identities?

That's a good point. Resistance is going to be a big source of, well, Resistance and First Order ships and pilots.

It's not like the Resistance has one, either. The X-Wing has a Torpedo, and the Falcon has a missile. That's on par with the single missile slot on the SF.

They do have a dedicated bomber, though.
