Wave 5 speculation

By pbpanchotest, in X-Wing

Wish list for wave 5:

Wild Karrde

Starwind Yaht

Scimitar Assault Bomber

Chiss Claw Craft

Realistic list for wave 5:

Outrider

Lady Luck

Virago

Punishing One

Rebel: Ghost

Imperial: Rogue Shadow

Let's get the whole alphabet up in here, m wing ,kwing, vwing, qwing.....

seriously though, i've always found it funny that the citizens of the galaxy refer to xwings, ywings etc but use that funky aurabesh alphabet or w/e and should have no concept of those letters. Maybe the answer is buried in the bowels of wookiepedia somewhere around the dark horse comic dung heaps.

Virago

Thanks for reminding me of this thing, would go well with an IG-2000(which is probably a HWK-scale ship).

For Rebels, it's trickier as other than the K-wing we're pretty much done with letterwings. Cloakshape would be neat, Outrider is boring, at this stage I'm more interested in alt paintjobs and new pilot cards for existing Rebel ships than I am new ones.

V-Wing? There are two now y'know :)

I know people hate the K-Wing but I wouldn't mind seeing it. Some kind of large-base warhead-flinging monster for the Rebellion with a turret slot, cannons, and something like three or four proton torpedo slots. It'll be the A-10 warthog of the game, even though it has no hyperdrive!

Sadly the pretty V-wing is the prequel version, and the other one is atmospheric and almost as ugly as the I-7 Howlrunner(as opposed to the not-ugly Howlrunner~).

The CF9 Crossfire looks kind of neat but it's pretty late timeline-wise.

That's the "High Galactic Alphabet". It's the justification for anytime you see the English alphabet show up in Star Wars.

Has a Dreadnaught been mentioned? Not as exciting as SD but still fits the scale for tabletop.

Rebels -

Small =

K-Wing

Large =

YT-2000

YT-2400

Huge =

Action VI Transport

DP-20 Corellian Gunship

Empire -

Small =

A-9 Interceptor

Assault Gunboat

TIE Avenger

I-7 Howlrunner

Missile Boat

Preybird Starfighter

Scimitar Assault Bomber

Large =

Skipray Blastboat

Sentinel Shuttle

DX-9 Transport

Huge =

IPV-1 System Patrol Craft

Assassin Corvette

Imperial Customs Corvette

Possible outlaw Faction -

Small =

Cloakshape Fighter

T-Wing

R-41 Starchaser

Virago/Starviper Attack Platform

Large =

Pursuer Enforcement ship

YV-666 Light Freighter

Conqueror Assault ship

Huge =

Marauder Corvette

Not really... the CR90 is about 150m. The Dreadnought is 600- same size as the Immobilizer 418 and about a third of the size of a Star Destroyer. The Dreadnought in equivelant scale would dominate the entire play-space of an Epic matt.

Doh, read it wrong. Darn kids dont leave you alone during important things ;)

I personally hope

Imperial:

Skipray

Virago

Rebel:

Outrider

StealthX(okay might be pushing the timeline here a bit, but gives the alliance a cloaker) or a K-wing

I would really really love a Bes'uliik (it would make a e-wing/defender look cheap I think)but really really is just flipping the bird at the timeline

Rebels:

T-Wing (No real reason other than being usable to think of many other rebellion era fighters for rebels :( )
Outrider (We'd then have 2 IMP large ships, and 2 Rebel large ships).

Imperials:

Assault Gunboat (IMP Answer to B-Wing)

TIE Avenger (A "Fixed" Version of the TIE Advanced)

Imperial huge: Vigil-class corvette

I believe the ship pictured on the Etahn card is a Razor-class fighter: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Razor-class_starfighter

For the ten millionth time, I state again: Eating A'Boat is shooting at Yevethan D-types.

One thing I am pretty sure about: At least one of the imperial wave 5 ships has a missile slot. Why? Because rebel aces includes a new missile.

Sith Infiltrator?

Sith Fury class from SWTOR?

Sith Frigate?

A ship 20 years out of the era FFG's doing, a ship 3000 years out, and a ship that dwarves the Tantive that's 3000 years out.

You really hate antiquity.

The Infiltrator could work, since the GCW era Inquisitor Valin Draco flew one (the Scimitar itself, actually).

Random thought: Are there any ships that are used by both factions? I certainly wouldn't be against ships being released which contain 2 or 3 pilot cards for both factions.

Has a Dreadnaught been mentioned? Not as exciting as SD but still fits the scale for tabletop.

I am not sure the Dreadnaught fits the table.

Imperial Star Destroyer = 1600m

Dreadnaught ship from Katana Fleet = 600m

CR-90 = 150m

I could see at most something just under 2X the CR-90 being on the table, but not something 4X in size.

Something Carrack or Lancer Size, and a Neb-B is the biggest ship probably that will see

Just stating the facts. Anyone who thinks FFG's going to start making TOR ships isn't thinking it through.
