Iconic Wave

By pitsch, in X-Wing

On wookiepidia one wave is listed as the "Iconic Wave". Listed with 4 expansions:

Iconic Wave

Announced September 16 2013, the first of the Iconic wave

X-Wing: Imperial Aces Expansion Pack

X-Wing: Rebel Transport Expansion Pack

X-Wing: Tantive IV Expansion Pack

X-Wing: Lancer class Frigate Expansion Pack

Now, I've heard of the top 3, but not of the lancer class frigate. Did a search, it's a Empire ship, is this the empire large ship?

I'd like to know where they got this information. I don't see a reference for that section and I haven't heard anything official about the Lancer class, nor have I heard these craft being grouped together as any sort of release wave. Can someone direct me to the official release for this information?

They said at gencon this was more like wave 3.2 and not wave 4, i also never heard of an iconic wave or anything about a lancer, this may just be someones wishfull thinking. the facts as it stands currently are imperial aces is jan or feb i forget and am too tired to look the upcoming section. Then the blockade runner and the transport which do not yet have release dates. Those are the only official releases slated. If theres new info and i would love there to be please show it :)

This is either a leak or a mean joke lol

A 2' ugly monster? Nah, I doubt it.

Until FFG shows us it, not believing it. I can see a imperial iconic ship coming to balance it. But probably not till late next year

Since the same page also lists the " Interdictor -class Star Destroyer" as an upcoming release, I am disinclined to believe it. And the Lancer would be 66% longer than the CR90, which already looks to be problematic to maneuver.

Yeah the Interdictor is still a 1600m long ship. There is simply no way they're going to ever make one of those. If they were going to butcher the scale to that degree, they'd put in a ISD which is the same size.

And the Lancer would be 66% longer than the CR90, which already looks to be problematic to maneuver.

They could make a Lancer work, just scale it down a bit so it's 15-18in long compared to the 12in CR-90. Not saying they will or should, but it's more likely then a ISD

Someone just put that there, I don't remember seeing Interdictor Class Star Destroyer G3P this morning

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lancer-class_frigate

Length: 250 meters
Width: 57 meters
Height/depth: 60 meters

Considering the CR90 is 150 meters, I have serious doubts about this

because, even with a down scaled one, you couldn't fit everything on any

normal table. I would want to have or have to have three banquet tables to use it.

Also I would expect a ship that was listed as "Iconic" to actually be iconic.

Since it actually has no reference I'm going to go ahead and delete it.

The timing of the leak coincides with new year so im leaning towards pranksters.

I heard about the Lancer months ago on the X-Wing Wikia, and I thought it was bullcrap then too. It's more likely that they'll release smaller craft for the Imperials than their capital ships, unless we get something like the Storm Commando Escort Carrier.

They have never announced something called an Iconic wave, and the Lancer has certainly never been announced.
