August right? Seems like they're taking a long break from previews.

They probably announced them on some random 3rd party site like Instagram or Tik-Tok or an old derelict AOL chat room, but we just haven’t found the announcement yet.

Usually they announce the next wave a month or so before the upcoming wave drops. Which they are estimating February on the website but I swore on ffg live they said the wave could drop late January. So probably really soon.

Hotshots, Fully Loaded, and Don't Tell Me the Odds are suppose to drop in January, I think.

Fully Loaded and Don't Tell Me The Odds, as well as Wave 6 are January, Hotshots and Aces are February, I believe. At least, according to the Discord thread that @Kieransi has going (link below)

On the stream, they said we should hear about wave 7 within the next 4 weeks. We also know a republic ship and a separatist ship will be a part of said wave.

Makes me wonder if they were waiting for the movie to come out so that they could do FO/Resistance units? They screwed up once with that and 2.0 they learned from most of their mistakes.

Anyone checked Myspace recently?

With them saying we are supposed to get 4 new waves next year, I think they have (for wahtever reason) had to sit on some new stuff for longer than usual and then we'll gte it ALL next year. Maybe has something to do with Lucasfilm playing the new film and the Mandalorian close to their chests.

On the stream they said the card packs will be with the two new ships at the end of January.

That could be. It could also be that they don’t want to announce anything 6 days before Christmas, in case it cuts into sales of current products.

Or licensing approval is swamped with holiday and movie season and announcements aren't an approvals priority.

I believe they said two card packs release with the reprint ships of the new wave in early January and originally said the two new ships would come in February with hotshots and aces, then changed the new ships to late February. Either way last I heard was a two part release.

That's what I though too, but in the ffg live stream they said the 2 new ships and cards were coming late January. That being said I certainly wouldn't be surprised either way.

I’m firmly of the belief that they shouldn’t announce a wave before the previous one releases. That can really kill my hype.

I think the old way for X-wing was 4 waves for each quarter with a mix of old and new ships. Everything across the board in December was pushed back and they have not really recovered from it all.

I will be interested to see how much more will be pushed back before they can recover from whatever happened.

Please... Think of my wallet... If they release too many ships for my chosen faction(s) too quickly, it's too expensive. I already have 13 things I want (2 more B-Wings, 2 more Y-Wings, one more X-Wing, 3 A-Wings, the 3 card packs, the deluxe movement tool & ruler pack, and a battle mat). Plus another 10 things I feel obligated to get (2 more V1s, two more Tie Strikers, 3 Tie Interceptors, and 3 Tie Defenders).

Agreed. I for one like having one set of exciting things to look forward to, although I understand how a prequel only player would be sad as they have nothing on their radar yet besides the obstacles/environments

How do you think I feel. I play Rebel Alliance. I'm also collecting Galactic Empire, but only because I sometimes supply ships for my opponent and already had the start of a Galactic Empire fleet. As such, announcements for prequel or the new trilogy ships mean nothing to me.

I may be in the minority but a vulture swarm zig-zaggin through Comet Tail or picking up proton torpedoes with Munitions Cache is enough to hold me until the next wave.

I'm wondering what happens if the munitions catche contains something your ship doesn't have an upgrade slot for... such as bombs or mines if you're flying a Tie/LN Fighter?

Well, we know you can gain a slot outside of what’s allowed normally for quick builds. I’d just say “you get it regardless” and can use it.

For something that requires a lock to fire, add TL to your action bar.

Mind you, I can see ships destroying themselves trying to get those munition catches too. I mean, think about it. You're potentially taking damage to land on the rock. You're a sitting duck while getting the catche. And then you can potentially take damage when moving off of the rock too.

They can be equipped ignoring restrictions...see below:

So basically... you can pick up a sub weapon which your ship may not be able to use, or a mine/bomb/other device.
