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.

That's a hopeful call. Maybe we'll get the article right alongside it. Maybe we'll also get a release date!

Reddit users reporting that some retailers have confirmed a 3/21 release date

Who knows if that's actually accurate though

If the Z-95 was  going to be added to Hyperspace for Scum and Villainy this season it would already be legal, like the TIE Striker is. It'll be added during the July shake up at the earliest when they rotate things out.

Ok, but what if... they give us the Z-96* instead?!

*Apparently this was a real ship in use just after the clone wars. It was mentioned in an episode of Resistance.

Do people think the Executor for Armada will come at the same time? That'll be quite the delivery!

Well Destiny is coming on the same boat.

That would be nice, but my wallet can't take expenses of that magnitude all at once.

The super star destroyer hasn't even received a preview article yet, so it's seems unlikely to release this month though. The wait for Armada fans continues.

Unlikely to get the article next to it. Legion didn’t get any articles for the new leaks yet.

Its possible there may be the twitch AND an article, just not likely at the same time. Though with the 3/21 day approaching, they may not bother.

Well, at least a week from tomorrow, they will be streaming Wave 3 gameplay. That they announced late February when they released their March stream schedule.

I'm still flabberghasted that an archetype they demo'd (Vader + 4 TIE miniswarm) turned out to be S-Tier in hyperspace. Granted, it requires dropping Sense for Hate, crack from the TIEs, turning 2 of them into Academy Pilots and the other 2 into Howlrunner and Howlrunner's life-extender, etc., but good archetype all the same. I know that the designers are expected to be good at the game, but I thought they intentionally demo'd stuff beneath the expected meta's power level so that the community has to solve for the best builds instead of netlisting day 1.

Will the Wave 3 stuff to be played be potentially good stuff hampered by design? Summon new stream!

I don't think they are concerned with what is meta-good when demoing, more likely just demoing lists that they think are neat or are representative of something from the fiction. Vader + 4 TIEs is just a natural list to exist in the game and the fiction both.

It's not official, but a local store has announced that the release date in the UK is 21st March - and the shop in question is normally quite reliable and doesn't announce these things without some reason.

Is it ever truly official, though? 😜

Yes. Afterwards.

Anyone else picturing a that scene from Jedi about the Deathstar running late, but with FFG playing Jerjerrod? "We shall double our efforts!"

The game store where I get my X-Wing from just cut off pre-ordering discounts for wave 3 yesterday. They do this 2 weeks before a product is released for sale so the March 21st street date is confirmed for me.

Good. Gooood. So that means we're about to experience the joy of being inundated with three preview articles, a preview stream, points and slots update, and maybe, just maybe, a rules reference update in the span of less than two weeks?

Shouldn't be a just maybe, there's a whole mess of new rules in these sets that need to be in the rules ref,

Upgraded to "Shipping Now" on the upcoming page.

Was on the boat for...less than a week. Fastest boat ever?

Based on the video game Anthem release, I'm not sure that will always make sense either.

It's a gunboat SLAMing around the ocean.

THe upcoming page has been an afterthought at best since 2e came out.

I’m Ok with the 21st/22nd. There’s a Hyperspace trial next weekend and I’d rather not see the new factions burst into this event without having time to digest the new cards. Though I’m sure there are other big events scheduled right around the release as well.

AdeptiCon is just a bit over a week after release.

And while I’m sad that I can’t (I don’t think?) fly 4x ARCs for the Hyperspace Qualifiers...

Whelp, I guess I’ll just have to play well in the Open portion 😂
