I think the points and slots came out on release day. We will see. I’d love to have that information in advance - that information could alter or amend my “no purchases” plan.

I feel like it was a couple days before? But no more than a week, for sure.

So, as in my original comment... I should be able to play ARCs in Hyperspace at Adepticon if I want to, yeah? 😜

Hyperspace legality is a whole different matter, and I don’t know what Tier that Adepticon is...

“Hyperspace Trials” are considered Formal, which I don’t believe has the time restriction on new releases. The guy I was talking to about this seems to have thought that Hyperspace Trials was day 2 at System Opens, though now that I check those are called “Qualifiers” not Trials. So. Probably a no-go on Clone Wars for that. Ah well.

Well look at the Rebel Falcon & TIE Striker, already Hyperspace legal with currently no releases. Even if the event has no waiting period based on its Tier, its still a matter of FFG dubbing a product Hyperspace Legal.

...Fair? I guess? But literally everything that has been released as 2.0 expacs so far has been hyperspace legal. So it would stand to reason that the Republic and Separatist factions both will be in their entirety.

Its less ‘If’ and more ‘When’ seeing as FFG has always been a bit... Behind... With rules related things.

Likely to end with the Scum Z-95, but Resistance and FO are good indicators that the Sep and Republic initial releases will be Hyperspace Legal I think. It's only 3 ships a piece in those two. Points list should be out sometime between the 11th and the 19th I'm guessing.

Biohexacrypt Codes aren't in a 2nd Edition expansion so far, just the First Order Conversion Kit.

Also I only really meant the ships themselves, but. That would have been a fair call out 😜

And too bad, otherwise it'd 100% be included in my Kylo/Squad Leader Muse/QuickDraw build.

So only tangentially related to the question of Wave 3's release date; is anyone else getting twitchy for the next Wave 3 preview article?

Always. Seems likely enough that it would be the ARC, following the patterns (if you can call them that).

If you feel wave 3 is coming along too slowly... get into Armada... wait for the SSD.

This will teach you a Jedi's patience :)

....not at all.....I totally haven't been keeping the "News" page up in another tab and hitting F5 at least twice an hour in the past month until I see a new article for wave 3 for that week.....

Actually, I just remembered that we still don’t know what overlapping gas clouds does. And they’re live-streaming with some wave III content next week.

I set up an RSS feed. I’m not sure I get it ‘immediately,’ but it’s good enough. I even have outlook pop up a little window to let me know so that I don’t miss it 😁

So what’s the best guess now? End of March?

Welp judging by the Spain site and what people are hearing from distributors, looks like March 21st is the bet.

I kind of hope it's not added. It's about the least interesting ship they could add especially with the MGT already in.

So, based on today's Twitch stream, I suspect that we have not yet gotten an ARC-170 article because next week they will be using their Twitch stream to show us a list that uses ARC-170's flying alongside Anakin in a Delta-7.
