Wave 6 Speculation

By Averross, in X-Wing

What do you think will be revealed at GenCon?

For Hyperspace re-releases, my money would be on RZ-1 A-Wings and TIE Interceptors, but Epic may necessitate TIE Bombers to move ahead.

For new stuff, I think it's about time we started seeing some CW-era Scum like Cad Bane, Jango Fett or our lord and savior, Hondo. If we continue the current trend of one Republic and one CIS per wave, I'd think LAAT and Sheathipede. We also haven't seen any new First Order stuff since 2E came out, so maybe something from that Resistance show I never watched? I'm curious as to what the community thinks is most likely.

I'm going to throw my hat in the ring that the first new Scum ship that gets announced will be something from the Resistance show.

Just look at this glorious mess and tell me you don't want to play with it:

I could be wrong, but the regional attendance prizes are Corran alt arts. Thinking the E wing will be rereleased. A wing would be cool.

Praying for LAAT. Eta 2 would be cool, but given the art on Sun Fac, leaning to ETA 2. (Edit, I mean LAAT)

Tri fighters? Xi class shuttle? Idk, lol

Rebels: Rz-1 A-Wing (feels safe)

Empire: Interceptor (same as above)

Scum: Either the Starviper (for the same reason as above) or the HWK to get the Moldy Crow in Scum hands.

Resistance: Salvaged Falcon, though it could take this one off.

FO: A Shuttle. (Whether that’s the Ups, the Xi, or both.)

Republic: A Shuttle (plenty to choose from) or the Twilight.

CIS: Sheathipede (for the light support role).

Pipe dream: Raven’s Claw for Rebels and Ebon Hawk for Republic.

I'm expecting Wave VI will hit us all upside the head with something totally unexpected.

What I expect:

• LAAT

• Tri-Fighter

• TIE Echelon

• T-85 X Wing

• TIE Interceptor

• RZ-1 A-Wing

• Starviper resculpt with folding wings

• Basic Card packs with sought-after upgrades from Waves I-VI

What I want:

• All of the Above

• TIE Brute

• Vonreg's TIE and the Fireball

• 3 faction-pack cardboard expansions (Rebels, Imps, Scum) with 20ish new pilots and 10ish new upgrades each.

• Campaign expansion for standard-sized play

• MOAR REPRINTS : P

Aw man, I would love to see the TIE Brute!

Oh dang. If card packs are indeed Wave VI, as teased, new pilots for the A-wing and Interceptor could be the reason we haven’t seen them yet.

As long as it has a double sided (separate would be ok too) Anakin/Pre armor Darth Vader pilot card (treat as unique Anakin Skywalker for list building restrictions)

Easy, have two “Anakin Skywalker” pilots and give one Darth Vader as a subtitle

(Spoiler it’s not gonna happen.)

Card packs could get us Jango Fett, Shara Bey, L'ulo L'ampar, Tycho, Cienna Ree, Wes Janson, Hobbie, Antoc Merrick, and Hera Syndulla in a T-65.

I don't want to play with it.

I would still love to see the R-41 Starchaser. Maybe someday, when they run out of other ships. Wave 74 is going to be my wave!

"Darth Vader: Jedi Slayer of the 501st

(You may include Chancellor Palpatine in your list. You may not include any other force users or limited cards in your list. You may equip dark side upgrades. )

When a friendly non-limited ship at R 1-2 performs an attack, you may spend 1 force. If you do, it may change 1 result into a crit result.

When a friendly non-limited ship at R 1-2 defends, you may spend 1 force. If you do, it may change 1 result into an evade result."

Effectively, super Palp so the 501st can live to their infamy of massacres. A worthy foe for Obi to bring down.

Historically, they put pictures of upcoming ships in the prior spoiler articles, right? Is there anyone that’s kept track of this...? I don’t have time to look through it tonight or I would go back and check.

Republic: V-Wing or Eta-2
CIS - Sheathipede
Empire - TIE Interceptor or TIE Bomber
Rebellion - A-Wing
First Order - Upsilon Shuttle
Resistance - Salvaged YT-1300
Scum - Kimogila or Starviper

It's going to be awfully crowded in that cockpit.

I once crammed 6 people in a 1984 Pontiac Fierro... I think it's doable here so long as you leave out an Astromech and shove two people in the socket.

Touché, my best was six in an 86 Isuzu Pup regular cab 4X4 pickup stick shift.

🤨 10 kids (ranging from 5-11) and 2 adults in a Geo Metro to go to a birthday party a few decades back...

We've all obviously missed our calling as Clown Car drivers...

T-65 pilots: Wes Janson, Hobbie Klivian, Tarn Mison, and Corran Horn

A-Wing pilots: Tycho Celchu, Hera Syndulla, Sabine Wren, Wedge Antilles

B-Wing pilots: Keyan Farlander and Nera Dantels

U-Wing pilots: K2S0 and Laren Joma

Y-Wing pilots: Ace Azzameen, Crix Madeen

Z-95 pilots: Booster Terrik and Ace Azzameen

Auzituck Gunship: Drokkatta and Gaarkhan

If that happens I am forever hiding at home. I know a guy who loves Defenders and I KNOW he will fly that all the time.

Thank you for the nightmare fuel for tonight...
