Well that was quick, Wave 5 announced, Outrider and VT-49 Decimator, whatever that is

The Outrider title card is nuts, 360 arc Heavy Laser anyone? And Mara Jade crew member for Imperials. And is that Yssane Isaard burried in the spread as well?

Not sure where the Imperial ship comes from but the thing is massive. And definitely different. 0 Agility, but 4 Shields and 12 hull? a 3 Attack turret is nice, and it's got a ton of upgrades lots, looks like 3 crew, cannon and torpedo...46 points for the expensive pilot, possibly a ship mostly aimed at Epic format?

They note that the upgrades were largely designed by the two World Champions, so it should be interesting to see what they came up with. A few of the other upgrade names that can be made out include Proton Rockets, Ion Torpedoes, a Dash Rendar crew member, and Stay on Target, which is almost certainly an EPT.

Yes finally the Outrider arrives. I don't even play this game and I'll grab one of those just for the model as I've always loved that ship. Getting seriously tempted to start this game though as the models are ace and it looked a lot of fun on the episode of Tabletop that featured it.

Just make sure you read the rules more carefully than wheaton and crew did, they got so many things wrong in that video...

it's very expensive though (over 50pts on Rendar "naked" without a Gunner, probably somewhere around 46-48 on the cheaper pilots, since you'll definitely want an Engine Upgrade to get out of Range 1 where you'd be sitting dead in the water) - and at that point you're competing with Han Shot First...

The early write up I did should hit live today with a little background (very little) on both ships.
It was a rush job yesterday so I apologies for the incorrect info that went on to my blog.

The last upgrade on the Decimatir is a bomb upgrade, not cannon. I should have worked it out because of the bomb rules you get with it and the token

It's from Galaxies.

*shudder*

YAY! Hadn't even considered the Decimator and yay YT-2400, always loved that ship.

Edit: They have upped the size of the Decimator, it used to me Falcon sized but now they say it is the largest ship yet which makes it bigger than a corvette. Makes sense especially if Lucasfilm ok'd it, the Empire is lacking in tha mid range size ship.

Edit Again: !!!!! Mara Jade and female Fleet Officer cards! *flails*

no, it's the biggest Large Ship (as in, "designed for Standard Play"), which means it's bigger than the Falcon but that's about it. Look at the single base for confirmation

Oh right, that's what I get for reading these things first thing in the morning.

The Outrider.....

All right, listen up Sport. First we gotta work on your appearance -- you need to shave and make some attempt at getting a hairstyle. Oh, and pick up a black vest; they look good with anything.. Then there's this "smuggling" ship of yours... You've got no room in it to smuggle anything! Oh wait, you might be able to fit a bag of groceries behind the seat here.
