Cheap control pieces like the Escape Craft, Resistance Pod, and Sheathipede are really important in factions and GE doesn't have one yet.
Yeah I'd like that, more manoeuvrable dial but less HP etc for less points. More akin to a U-wing (no reinforce, red coordinate) etc. would be nice.

Yeah, this is the only 'new' imperial ship I can see anytime soon, but it's likely buried under the 'back catalogue' of rereleases.
If Solo had been more successful, there might be more of a drive to release it. As it is.....not so much.

Dear. Holy. God. No. That is probably the ugliest thing in the setting. And not 'good ugly' like the falcon, but 'ugly ugly' . It looks like an A-wing being inappropriately fondled from behind by a Y-wing.
I'd rather have the bloody TIE Bizzarro, stupid as that thing is.

That's a... very accurate description of the H-Wing.

Perhaps, but I'm not convinced that's the reason. With Rebels and Imperials focusing largely on re-releases, I'm sure lots of us would be happy to pull the trigger on a fresh new ship, and a canon one at that. FFG probably knows that. They might just be spacing it out so there's actually still something for us to look forward to and buy later while the newer factions are still get newer chassis and catching up.

Well, they also don't have much canon options left, right?
Please someone tell me which canon Rebel ship would be next?
Warbird's Pirate ship for Scum?
There's that plus the fighters as well. Add the two together and you've got a more fleshed out 'cold war era scum & villainy' - with the quadjumper no longer being the only scum ship with access to tech.

Although they seem to be 'UGLIES' the fighters seem to be uniform, which helps their case in XWM. I've love to see both the shuttle and the fighters added to the game.

Yeah. I first thought they were all different until I realised it's just the wingtip canards that rotate.
They also have a slightly A-wing-esque look to them, and a high-speed boosting 2-dice-primary light fighter (like an A-wing or N-1) is something scum currently don't have).

That's a lot of guns!
Attack: 3
Ship ability: when attacking, you may roll 2 additional attack dice. If you do so, receive 3 ion tokens, 1 jam token and 1 strain token.

They all have RZ1 central hulls with some TIE/In bits added on iirc.
Edit: Dug through the Resistance thread in Off-Topic looking for these.
Has anyone suggested the Skipray Blastboat for the Empire?

Seems like a medium base powerhouse for the Empire faction.

Many, MANY times over the years, and for Empire, Rebel, OR Scum (or all three) at various points.
Problem is, it’s Legends content, and I’m not sure how much more legends stuff we will see.

Guesses for the upcoming Wave 6:
3 hours ago, Odanan said:Guesses for the upcoming Wave 6:
- Rebel: A-wing re-release
- Imperial: Lambda re-release
- Scum: Star Viper re-release
- First Order: Upsilon re-release or hopefully, the new Xi-class light shuttle
- Resistance: Falcon re-release or hopefully, the new X-Wing T-85
- Republic: (new) LATT
- Separatists: (new) Droid tri-fighter or Rogue-class starfighter
Rebel and Imperial feel good. For Scum, I could see the HWK, to get the title in faction.
First Order, the Xi-class would be ideal to have a lighter crew carrier. The Interceptor like craft from Resistance is also a possibility, but I feel the faction has a greater need for a cheap support ship.
I’ll be amazed if it’s not the Falcon for the Resistance next, though potentially pleasantly surprised by something like the T-85.
Republic needs a dedicated crew carrier, so the LAAT or one of several Shuttle types from the show and episode 3 feels likely.
Separatist also has need of a cheaper support unit, in my mind, so I think they’re next piece will be the Sheathipede.

But.. didn't the Sheathipede just arrive with the Ghost?

Yes, which does potentially present a wrinkle. The Phantom 2 (the Sheathipede in the pack) is an old Clone Wars surplus ship the Ghost crew obtained and modified to replace the Attack Shuttle Phantom. With other cross faction ships as examples (the Rebel TIE being the most prominent), I think it makes sense for the Sheathipede to return home to the CIS. However, The modified part of the Rebel version is worrying as it is simply called a Sheathipede-class Shuttle. Off the top of my head, the modification was a reinforced hull and the Astro slot. Whether FFG ignores that (or, in the astromech’s case, simply remove the slot for CIS), or not is the big question mark for the ship.

I know the Sheathipede will come for the CIS, eventually. But I think FFG will release now some other ship that will sell better (just because it's a new one).
First Order could get two for Wave 6, since its an end of Q4 release. I'd love if we saw a new ship design from the movie. the Xi class is definitely possible or perhaps the TIE Echelon as a support ship, and then add on a light interceptor (Resistance or new movie) or something else with a unique ship ability.

Perhaps. But then again, the next Republic ship we get is a Y-Wing. A different model, but still a Y-Wing.
Added some First Order ships to the OP.
Still needed: Rogue-Class starfighter for Cad Bane. Probably lots more PT era ships for scum that I'm not aware of.
