Time for another completely uninformed (totally pulling it out of our $$$) Wave 4 future speculation thread.

By SheepDog, in X-Wing

Say, how about them Skipray Blastboats? Those would be cool to see.

On a more substantial attempt at re-railing the thread, as likely as the Z-95 will be for release soon, the real question will be what model/version of the Headhunter. There's been a variety of its depictions over the years (despite few actual model numbers to accompany them), so I'm curious how FFG and going to run it through their high-accuracy process and what we'll see for engines, canopy, etc.

Their depiction of it in the other properties they own should be a decent indicator. The fluff text from the card says the Z-95 is "clearly outclassed" by the T-65 but supports the idea that there's still a valuable place for it in the fleet.

I'm going to guess 4 engines with a significant canopy bulge.

I sorta think we may not see the Skipray for the Empire. Sure, they originally had some but they were mostly uninterested with them due to conflicting interests in starfighter philosophy. But then again, the current Tie Advanced we have was surely produced in much lower quantities than the Skipray, so it wouldn't be that out of place to see them. Either way, I think it would make a good imperial addition... dang, does the Empire really not have a turreted ship? That's cruel, FFG.

I hope it's the Z-95 from before all the clone-wars nonsense came out, preferrably the twin-triple blasters + concussion missile model.
