Wave 9 - What We know

[Vorpal Sword 14,685]

 

The image in the article has been updated, show's Sabine now.

 

The new image also appears to show Asajj Ventress as one of the other pilots.

 

 

Indeed it does. The text on the dial has been updated, too!

[theninthguardian 157]

interesting that the Shadow Caster image above does not match the image in the article,which shows the PS6 pilot as "Asajj..."; more Clone Wars content?

Ho mah gaw, I don't play Scum but if they print a Ventress pilot I will have to get a Shadow Caster.

Sorry FFG, you've lost me.

 

I guess it was good while it lasted.

Can I have your stuff?

[Hylian100 299]

Interesting that all the ARC-170 pilots are unique. Guess it reflects how in the Galactic Civil War they're not exactly common-place, at all.

 

Interesting wave, seems very much like FFG trying out new things with the ships instead of just going with different stats. Looking forward to see more.

 

As for clone wars era ships in the game: The Y-Wing was in wave 1. 

[Comradebot 1,255]

I wonder if the "Old" for the Mando Fighter is "Old Master"... and this is how they're getting Darth Maul into the game.

Time for everyone who said they would quit the game if a prequel ship was introduced to do so, lol.

Not quite, as the Arc 170 isnt being fielded as a prequel ship, but rather a refurbished Rebel ship. This is the key element! We don't want to see the Prequel mess added to XWing.

[Polda 4,141]

That PS 4 ARC-170...any possibility it is Thane Kyrell?

 

Pretty sure it is. Armada is getting Ciena Ree based on some artwork FFG spoiled. 

The card she's on wasn't in any of the articles yet. https://www.instagram.com/p/BFmcVLNkcHz/?taken-by=fantasyflightgames

It definitely looks like "Thane". I'd thought he have better pilot skill than 4 though. In Lost Stars he is a really good pilot but of course that was in an X-wing.

Uh...no, it's Old Teacher.

Extremely. What we can see is Tha..

New Cards

Fearless? EPT

Concorde Dawn Protector - 1 pt - Title - When defending, if you are inside the attackers firing arc and at Range 1 and the attacker is inside your firing arc, add 1 <evade> result.

 

I'm pretty sure Fearless is an offensive mirror to the Protector title. Scum only,

 

When attacking, if you are inside the defender's firing arc at Range 1 and the defender is inside your firing arc, add 1 <hit> result.

 

The text just lines up too closely with the title for it to be anything else.

Shadow caster is Crew and 2x ilicit, not crew missile ilicit

[Blail Blerg 7,335]

 

I'm just gonna leave this here as I still can't believe it. It looked so fake.

https://m.reddit.com/r/XWingTMG/comments/4jpq0j/potential_wave_9_leak/

 

So in that thread there's more below Wave 9:

 

• Resistance Shuttle
• *something I can't make out* StarViper
• .... XG-1 Assault Gunboat

 

Go ahead and nerdgasm, guys.

 

 

Now that I'd be okay with.

Knowing is like, only half the battle, formatting is the other half. I tried to get as close as possible, with some improvements to things like dial info (Tipperary just ignored them altogether until spoiled).
