In a couple of weeks, we should start seeing previews for the next wave of Attack Wing ships (Chang's Bird of Prey, Mirror Universe Defiant, Reman Scimitar). I know that a lot of arm-chair game designers find themselves saying "I would have designed it this way instead!" once the previews come out, and I thought that it might be fun if we made a thread to share our expectations for what we think that the statistics on the preview ships will look like (or at the very least, how we want them to look) before the official previews hit!

I had way too much time on my hands during my break at work today, and addled with homebrew (the game design, not the beer), I actually cooked up my own Reman Scimitar pack. This is about 50/50 on prediction versus wishlisting, but at the very least, I think it's interesting. Feel free to comment on it, and please, share your own predictions for Wave 9!
