How long will it take FFG to have the new RoS ships from the Sugondese leak added to the game?

By Kaptin Krunch, in X-Wing

With the new Sugondese leaks showing a bunch of cool ships, I'm wondering how long I'd have to wait for them to be added to the game.

I remember hearing in 1.0 that the full development cycle was around 2 years, although I would expect that the points being adjustable could potentially lower this to 18 months as playtesting does not need to complete before printing begins.

Have we heard anything about the length of the current development cycle? What are the odds that FFG had a year or longer of prior knowledge of these ships?

What is this leak?

This ^

FWIW, I expect that we will see RoS ships in xwing around wave 8. Maybe wave 7 if Disney gave ffg inside knowledge.

What's Sugondese?

Ok, seeing that Sugondese phrase, my first thought was: "You mean Sudanese? How the heck would Sudan get early copies?"

Saw that coming when I clicked on the title, but was glad to see the payoff anyways. Hey, are you going to the System Open at SawCon this year?

No, I got into penny-trading and time-wise can only go to one SoS.

Look, if you want to say it, just say it. There’s no need to make people ask questions just so you can reveal what a colossal nimrod you are.

So, the ships are nuts? Instead of teddy bears, Episode IX is going to have squirrels?

How is he supposed to show what a great hunter he is if he doesn't demonstrate his ability to lure people in and spring a trap?

Best. Movie. EVER.

The plush toy sales alone would make it the most successful SW release ever!

While more chipmunks than Squirrels, Star Wars could borrow the Bellidos from one of Timothy Zahn’s other books. Described as “chipmunk faces commandos”, who’s visible sign of social standing is how big their guns are and how many they have.
