Wave VI Predictions

By Porkchop Express, in X-Wing

I really hope we get the Clone Z95 soon.

Ya'll know the Phantom-II is basically a Sheathipede in name only right?

I'd avoid betting on new ships from Episode IX; I'd imagine that Disney won't give FFG the necessary information to fully flesh out the new ships (equipment, pilots, general capabilities, actual physical dimensions etc), so FFG will avoid repeating the mistakes of the past (PS8 Poe, generically named 'Ace' pilots, Ben Swolo's Silencer) and wait to do a proper release.

That said, both the FO and Resistance still have ships to re-release, so it's not as if they can't give them something in Wave VI.

FFG may care, we may care, but Disney don't care. Who's in charge? We'll be seeing those EP9 tie ins. We can hope they have good information or at least have only a few more generic type ships for the movie tie in and leave the more important ships like a T-85 for a later wave. Either way, I expect wave 6 to be new trilogy heavy.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Mandolorian ship in that mix. Disney is going to want to push their new streaming service hard. That sucker is gonna be crashing so bad for the first two weeks.

So Disney Plus launches on November 12. They're supposed to release the entire Mandalorian series then. The ship below, the Razor Crest, is the ship of the title character. I think we definitely see this in Scum in Wave 6 or 7. They talked a lot about how they created an actual model of the ship and used it for practical effects, so I would think scanning that model would provide a great start for creating an X-wing version.

That looks a lot like Sugi's Halo , maybe it's an SS-54 too?

FO needs something new and interesting. It has only 4 ships just now, its only large based ship is a pig to turn and it doesn't have anything that can carry devices yet.

There's a Resistance poster (for season 2, i think) around with what seem to be FO TIE Bombers (take TIE Bomber, turn the wings inside out, paint black and white). But i reckon it might take a while for the ship appear as a miniature.

Otherwise, there's Xi-class light shuttle, Vonreg's TIE, two different TIE designs from TRoS (one seen in a poster, one in trailer).

Looks a lot, but not the same ship. Maybe SS-something?

Hull below the wings is allot fuller and the engines don't rotate unlike the SS-54. The cockpit section is really too far off for it to be an SS-54 variant from what I can see.

What it does look like to me is a bulkier LAAT with the engines moved to the wingtips (like was done with the Auzituck) and the wings bulked out a bit.

The nose is also a really strong call back to the Firespray-31 in flight mode.

I'm thinking it is a KDY or a RHE (KDY's subsidiary that made the LAAT) design. Though the cockpit canopy on the Razorcrest reminds me of the Mandal Motors M3-A Scyk.
