ew images were added to this page, one of each ship and all it's upgrade. Can't read the text of each card, but can recognise cards we already have.
New Wave 3 Images
The TIE bomber comes with
-1 Adv. Torp.
-1 Assult Missile
-1 Seismic charge
-1 Proton Bomb
-And one medal upgrade called "Adrenaline Rush"
It's really hard for me to make out what some of those cards are, but it looks like the Moldy Crow comes with a new turret upgrade called blaster turret. If this is true, then the Y-Wing may be getting a boost as well!
Someone put this up over at BGG earlier, and I've spent the entire day wondering how I managed to miss all that in the excitement of the announcement.
Editing news posts = not nice
not sure if this has been asked, but what are the tokens/pieces, pictured under the Lambda's traget lock tokens?
The HWK has an ion Turret and a (Yesyesyes!!) BLASTER TURRET!
I can't make out any of its stats or text, but the fact alone that it has that is a big thing for the ship itself and the Y-Wing. This was the one i hoped for most. I am back and will edit this once i decipher the rest XD!
Okay i made out all the option cards, the pilots can't be seen very well although i know from BGG they have Katarn and Jan Ors at least.
The names of the HWK 290 Upgrade Cards are:
- Ion Cannon Turret
- Blaster Turret
- Recon Specialist
- Saboteur
- Intelligence Agent
- Moldy Crow
I am so fond on knowing what these options do, especially the turret and the Crew… Cmon FFG put on some better resolution photos please XD!!
Okay i have deciphered all B-Wing options too. Two of which we knew already…
They are:
- Proton Torpedoes
- Adv. Proton Torpedoes
- Ion Cannon
- Autoblaster
- Fire Control System
Well the big surprise is the Autoblaster cannon option (aka. the sawed off space shotgun). Although i have no real idea what it does i would bet it has 5 attack dice at range 1 since every ship that has a cannon option (Slave, Lambda, B-Wing) would have 4 attack dice on short range anyway… So this might really be the cannon version of the advanced Torps!
Edit: I could also make out that the two top B-Wing Pilots have a Medal Symbol, the second best has skill 6 definitely but i am unsure if the top pilot has 8 or 9. (It's rather 8 but not sure)

I would bet money that the High Skill B-Wing pilot is Ten Numb and is an 8 skill.

They look like tokens for a senario.
Really hoping those B-wings have medals. I want Deadeye + torpedo assortment to turn them into heavy gunboats that can choose its targets right before it fires. That was one of my big hangups about the Y-wing.
Also noticing a lack of pilot skill cards compared to earlier models. Hopefully it's because they're saving them for a card pack release (take the hint FFG!)

Yes that would be great. If we made a poll (well if this Forum allowed it) about the most needed things for this game atm. card packs would probably land on top of it.
Also concerning the Y-Wing i ask myself if this was not a mistake or misprint in the first place. There is not any other ship that has no medal symbol at all, and not any skill 8 pilot except Salm that has none… That's why i ask myself.
On B-Wings i am 99% sure i have seen another symbol on the left of the new support symbol the low skill pilots have on the two top pilots. This is a Medal symbol, what else?
