I thought we maybe get some news at world, but no. When can we expect to get the next wave announced? Or the news article about the ships of Wave 6?
Or maybe the introduce some of the stuff in the new card packs... 
Anything. I feel like we got not much in since August.
*Cough.
EPIC!

@beardxofxdeath Chillax, brah! All in good time. Besides, what @Gilarius said.
FFG just loves to keep us all in suspense.
Probably due for the next wave announcement soon (http://xhud.sirjorj.com/xwing.cgi/timeline2)
They might be waiting for either episode 9 or The Mandalorian to air before they’re allowed to talk about what’s next.

Sorry, but Epic Battles is "real" Xwing.
I'm sure there will be an announcement soon. Usually when the next wave is a month or so out they announce the next one.
We'll get real X-Wing news as soon as we get real X-Wings, obviously. Now, who wants to invent repulsorlift technology and who wants to get started on sentient astromechs?

Well, there are several groups hard at work at AI and other mechanical devices that could fill this criteria.
As for repulsorlift tech... maybe we just cheat it and use a ton of mini fans?

Like, a ton.
Like one every other 1in panel.
Super tiny.
Basically invisible.
100k rps.
That should do it.
As an aircraft mechanic, I approve. Gonna need a lot of hamster wheels. Like, a whole WHOLE lot of hamster wheels.

Considering wave 6 has exactly two ships in it that are new, I wouldn’t expect articles until at most 6 weeks from release. Possibly more like 3-4 weeks out. We don’t need previews on while we already know about.
We also know the next “wave” is in the form of card packs, and we probably won’t get those news until early 2020.
We have had plenty of epic news between August and now. There’s been no shortage of info to work off of.
now sit back and enjoy the ride!

Hey, thanks for putting this together! When you graph it all out, it seems we're due for announcements for new products about every three months (on average). We're at approximately 3 months right now, so that's optimistic.

Did you look at sirjorj's chart? Even with Epic announcements and details, we're still due for another announcement soon.

Yup!
FWIW, that graph is generated whenever you load the page, so it should be getting 1 pixel wider every day - on the x-axis, 1 pixel is 1 day (at 100% scaling).

For Wave 6 I'm only expecting articles for the new releases and maybe for the Hound's Tooth (thanks to Bossk's Z-95, though that was covered in the announcement article). Re-releases haven't been getting articles unless there is some significant change to the mini or something new included. The card+cardboard packs also should be getting individual articles.
Don't even feel like we NEED new non-epic stuff at the moment
Worlds showed us so many interesting things to explore

I am not into epic. 
It always seemed to me like a "tack on format".
Even tough they sold the epic ships in Essen for 3.50 € (at the last day) I would never buy them to play epic with them. Only the Tantive IV for decoration (because it is an iconic ship).

As a fellow aircraft mechanic, I also approve. Maybe we can just put a micro turbofan into the body of the GR75 and duct it down? Thrust vectoring for movement? What could go wrong?!
What really intrigues me is the Cargo
"Coaxium Injectors" in the Epic Points list.
I could not find it anywhere in the Huge ship Conversion kit and the new Huges (C-Roc, Raider, CR90). So while they have changed content before, leading to a discrepancy between product page and final content (e.g, 1ed G1A), it happened rather seldom.
So I boldly call it, and say they have some unreleased Huge(s) very near completion or announcement (which would also fit the almost complete absence of Republic and Separatist cards in the Huge conversion kit).

It was tack on in 1ed, where a C-Roc did cost as much a Ghost, which had better stats at same point cost and could one-handedly and with ease melt the C-Roc. (It was still fun in specific scenarios. I made e.g. one for my kids: they had a number of escort ships, I was steering a Gr75, along a 2x6 mat. At regular intervals Empire ships popped out and steered by the HotAc attack AI tried to kill the transport. That was a tight and fun experience.)
Now prospects look a lot better, with the revised rules, Huges about 25% cheaper, automatic regen, double actions, Huges able doing 6 attacks in a certain round etc.

Epic and Huge Ships are different things.
If you don't like the huge ships, you can play epic without them. Some huge ships are lots of points, and epic is the best place for them, but epic can just be lots of small ships, too.

I love it. Got any F-35 manuals laying around? We could use the side skirts around the cargo area to be the basis of some air foils. Hook up some micro actuators and hinge them out?
Slap some JATOs on a Raider? Sure it will only work once... But once should be all you need lol 😄
