Wave 9 Speculation

By Rodent Mastermind, in X-Wing

Uglies combining Jabbas sail barge and Imperial walkers but with Slave 1 engines to get them into space.

The Bongo sub

Ubrikkian Speeder

Twin pod cloud car

And TIEs with 16 sets of wings

Actually come to think of it i once put big engines on the back of a walker (after removing the legs) and it actually looked pretty decent

I like the new scale SSD and the FF construction crew that tore down my house to install it were really professional. Now if I can just get past this lawsuit from the neighbors and get my wife to speak to me we can use the other side off he block to set up Endor.

I speculate that wave 9 will be announced on FFG and someone will start a wave 10 speculation thread within moments, followed by another wave 10 idea thread. In all likelihood wave 10 will include Donald Duck shaped starships with Mickey Mouse upgrades, Huey, Duey and Lewy pilot cards and a C3-P0 deity crew card: roll 2 attack dice and ignore all hits saying "it wouldn't be proper".

Nope. Yuuzhon Vong.

Gods I hope not... that was where I lost interest in Star Wars books... I hate the undefeatable enemy story arc.. then somehow they beat them.. sigh.. like the end of Stargate SG1... the Ori.... grrrrrrr

it's the story teller's doom of too many consecutive wins.

if you win the next bad guy usually has to be stronger, but since he is the bad guy he still has to loose at the end.

and with special powers that usually comes along with something that (initially) cancels them out....

back on topic, I bet at wave nine they made a crossover between star wars|trek|-gate, throwing together their combined uses cases of physics (wormholes, time travel, alternate dimensions/realities, ...) that wouldn't even be that far out of reach. ;)

Wave 9 is so far in the future that it's actually present day in our own galaxy, so be prepared to face off against X-Wings with F-22s.

...and then, because it's present day, FFG will have created a temporal paradox and reality will implode upon itself.

Wave 9 will be ships from the new movies, thats the safest speculation i think one can make. We will likely get more EU ships before and throughout, but my money would be on ships from the new movies at that point.

...that and the Star Wars: Rebels

TIE annhilators, Q-Wing fighter, Vipers, Star Fury and finally a third faction......Red Dwarf.

See, here's what pisses me off about even speculating about Wave 9... Wave 6 FINALLY made it to store shelves after being pushed back for 3 years, and now they are announcing Wave 9?!?! I still can't wrap my head around Wave 7 (with Jabba and a Rancor as pilots) and I have serious doubts that Wave 9 ever even comes out. Sure, we like the idea of Oola piloting a pleasure barge, but I'm predicting 7-8-9, so there for Wave 10 will drop before 9 ever does.

:D

Reading my way through this thread all I can think of is the south park episode sarcastaball.

I've noticed that Wave 7 is on the Upcoming tracker with an 'UPDATED' banner - who wants to speculate wildly on how the meta for Wave 9 will affect this major revision to these existing ships?

Mickey mouse and the new faction The Disney Princesses.

Also a George Lucas Wickerman, I really cannot wait to burn that Mmmmmm

Wave 8 just got updated to "On the Hoverboat!"

Wave nine will clearly be the pod-racing expansion,

FFG, listen to this guy! I'm not sure if I'm joking or not. Podracing is one of the cooler things from Episode I and made for an awesome video game. If Wave 9 were podracers, I'd be okay with that.

However, if they bring out podracers, they'll also need to do a Wave 10 for Super Bombad Racing.

we will most certainly get flying Banthas and sandcrawlers

SHUT UP AND TAKE ALL OF MY AMERICAN MONEY RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Which means wave 40 will reach the grim dark future and bring in 40k ships!

I'll run some combo of dutch, f-22's and i can finally dust off my vendetta gunships again

I'm working on a detailed mathematical analysis on why wave 9 ships will suck.

You're numbers are wrong, everyone can see wave 9 will be op.

Vader from the end of episode 3 , pilot skill 0 and during the activation phase receive two stress for sucking!

YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POOOOWWWAR

They will use alternate sw universe factions. One ship is a epic style ship. Highest level pilot is Whiter Anti Darth Vader. He will fly a space jocky xenomorph seeding ship. Skill level 9 special attack Xenomorph eggs, who ever wins we lose, all factions on table remove all there ships fromtable ;-)

Escape pods.

It's on the Rebel Aces token

... and Spock Skywalker will shoot Red Matter in the trash compactor vent of the Death Star #5 to make it implode...

I have complete faith in JJ.Abrams to screw/skew things up in STAR WARS Episode 7.

Would Wave 9 come out in 2015? Would it be in Q4 2015?

After the Disney said that "the EU isn't exist anymore" and we are not allowed to use EU ships in tournaments, they are going to do some prequel ships.

BTW they put a hidden link in the last preview of the wave 8 "Secret Arsenal of the Gungan" thing:

At the rate FFG is going, it'll be out in April.

I feel like the Suncrusher would be a reasonable addition in wave 9, to reign in the power curve. It only makes sense...
