New 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?
