was wondering if there are any rumours going around or anything as to what (if any) new ships they might make (not including things like the ties from imperial aces) such as if they will some day make a tie defender or other such stuff

Rumors? Sure there are lots of rumors. And even more random, unfounded speculation.

There has in fact been a ton of rumors about whether they might or might not eventually make a TIE Defender (or other such stuff), but I'm not sure how that's helpful.

No rumors that I'm aware of. There is always lots of speculation on these forums but FFG is silent on such things until they are ready for an official announcement. I would hope to see an announcement on May 4th (Star Wars Day) at the latest about what will be in Wave 4. But We'd all of course like an announcement much sooner with a possible release on May 4 or something like that.

Defender, YT2400, Z95 Headhunter are some of the speculated ships but it could be just about anything.

Edit: I guess I think of Rumors and speculation as very different things.

Rumors: "Hey did you here FFG is making a Defender. I have a friend of a friend who knows a guy who told him so."

Speculation: "Hey all, what do you think will be the next ship released? Wouldn't a Defender be coo? Let conversation ensue"

I don't think we've seen anything reliable of the former while there has been lots of the latter

I know there's disagreement on this point, but having grown up playing various Star Wars video games where you could blow up AT-ATs with an X-Wing, I'd be very open to seeing atmospheric (cloud cars, snowspeeders, etc) and ground vehicles (AT-ATs, sandcrawlers, Jabba's sail barge, etc). It could perhaps run as second product line under using the same mechanics, and tournaments could be set as either space based or lower atmosphere based.

Again, totally understand if people want the game to remain space-only, but there are just so many iconic vehicles from the classic trilogy.....

EDIT: BTW, this post was/is a fantastic resource as to potential ships for the game and their relative sizes assuming you keep the scale constant with the current fighters:

My issue is the relative movement speeds. A fast ground unit is unlikely to move even a 1 maneuver in a turn.

If there's an emote for feigned naïveté, it isn't accessible from my phone.

Sigh... o the limits of technology

What makes this one unique for me is that he asked if there were any 'rumors' floating around, but seemed to actually be wondering if anyone had concrete information on what ships will be coming out down the road and he had just somehow missed that whole discussion.
