Thought I'd shake things up with some stuff I'm really looking forward to this next year in X-Wing (hopefully)...

Republic Gunships.

Scum with Tech slots.

Nasty little robot wasps.

Resistance TIE Defenders.

Small/Med base FO crew carriers.

Imperial version Kimogila.

FO bomber or assault TIE or something incoming as well per the Resistance season 2 trailer.

That's everything off the top of my head. We're still out figuring out wave 4, waiting eagerly for 5, teasing at 6, and after that?

Well, Ep9 will be out by then. So I guess we'll just create another thread and talk about it then.

FO thing at the end looks kinda like a TIE Shuttle (like from Episode V)...

cheap Hux carrier??? 🤔

Bomber.

I'm excited for one thing:

Epic Battles

I want to see a Hondo crew card that’s playable by every faction.

And tons of ships for the Republic.

The TIE Echelon is nothing like a defender, lol; they're shuttles akin to the Reaper.

The Silencer was based on the Defender: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TIE/vn_space_superiority_fighter

That line (Resistance TIE Defenders) referred to the pics of the T85 X-Wings.

I hope to see a HMP Gunship for CIS!

Ah. Somehow that makes even less sense.

It's a small base fighter that's more advanced and capable than the t-70. Probably doesn't quite match the defender in durability but would likely be closer to a defender than to a t-65.

I really hope the Razorcrest is good. I like the design and having another tech capable Scum ship would be nice.

Ah yes, the TIE Super Punisher...

I'm really just interesting in having a new Scum ship. I know Scum has the most ships, but it's been few waves. I'm assuming it will be medium base.

Poster shows this ship from the front, confirming it as a likely ordnance platform:

Goodness knows the First Order certainly doesn't need another Interceptor (TIE/vn, TIE/ba, TIE dagger, Special Forces Interceptor from Ep IX), fighter (TIE/fo, TIE/sf) or crew carrier (Upsilon shuttle, Xi shuttle, TIE Echelon, First Order Troop Transporter). Yet they haven't shown a single ordnance platform yet. Pretty sure the show runners would have wanted at least one bombing/strafing scene by the end of the show and surely realized it was a gap that needed to be filled. This must be the result of that realization.
