I would guess Punishing One over Hounds Tooth. We know two pilots, Dengar and Manaroo, and it's 20m long instead of 62m, so much closer to a medium base, Hound's Tooth is almost twice the lenght of the Falcon. Also, Dengar hates Solo and worked with Fett so, it would fit with the fact that with already have Boba and Han. Think about the thematics battle!

Maybe a chance for a Dengar crew card and a possible Fett crew card.. that would be cool

Boba Fett: After performing an attack that hits, you may discard this card to remove the defender from play (Disintegrations were his speciality).

This is why you can't have nice things.

I think you would have a very, very small handful of guys to buy a ship at or anywhere near $300-$400. It would never be fruitful for FFG to put out a ship that cost that much. I may be wrong about the exact pricing but I'm close. Molds cost I the neighborhood of $10,000 I would assume that cost goes up for such a large project. Taking from retail down to manufacturing cost is tricky. First 45%-50% another 30%-40% distributor and yet again what it cost to make. So a $400 model would boil down to about $30-$40 profit for FFG. They would have to sell 300 just to pay for the mold! That doesn't include all the other cost to produce the models. FFG would likely need to sell 600 to break even on the model before they saw profit. After all that FFG could put out something like that but it would be only a labor of love.

Nonsense. The tabletop gaming community has shown itself to be willing to pay ludicrous prices for cool models for decades now. If 300 dollars was too much to pay, Forgeworld would have been out of business years ago. Hell, the Warhammer franchise itself would have been gone and buried. The entry cost of getting into warhammer -and I mean just the bare basics: rulebook, codex, 2 troops and 1 HQ- is around 235 dollars. And that's before you've bought the hobby essentials to build and paint the models. That's ten times the amount of an X-wing starter set, and yet people, even kids , happily plonk down that kind of money to begin playing warhammer.

A 300 dollar Star Destroyer would be met with shock and outrage on the forums, but sell like hotcakes in the actual stores. That's just the kind of world tabletop gaming is.

After "X" amount of pages (I can't bring myself to read all of this...conversation), I'm still trying to figure out how a discussion of Star Destroyers and scale is relevant to the Rebel Aces expansion pack.

It's not, and what's worse is there's a thread on page 1 discussing ISD's.

nothing, other than we moved from one topic on which can't agree on to the next classic topic with highly divergent positions.

ah and it somewhat motivated by imperial players being miffed that the current outlook is a bit rebel oriented.

Your absolutely correct, I've mistaken Star Wars X-Wing as a mass market game. Lets make all the $300 and $400 Ships we can. Now I'm off to Barnes and Nobel's to pick up my Warhammer 40,000 models.

I expect a knee jerk response, but I believe "all we/they can" is a tad far fetched, even for sarcasm.

You are implying people won't pay that and I'm insinuating that people will. From too many years in gaming, my observations lead me to believe this. People will pay for premium items beyond rational thought and game purposes.

If someone had leaked that they were planning on releasing large Capital ships when the game was released, people would have felt overwhelmed, intimidated etc. The game has evolved, or will evolve and it won't impact the original release. The playerbase is willing to accept the addition, infact, they are swooning for it.

Those who can pay to play, will. They have the sale numbers and since they are releasing progressively larger and more complex products, it seems like sound reasoning to believe they'll keep pushing, despite the presence of people who own two models, using a large eraser as a Y-Wing until they can cobble the coin together for their quarterly hobby purchase of a new fighter.

People with and without play this game. Some willing to spend. Some not. If there is profit in a release, it will be done, because they never fail to not let us down.

I expect they'll dump a big daddy on us once the sales for soon to be released large Reb and Imp ships start to dip and level out. Such a release would spark interest in the back catalogue of said ships and the new monstrosity to hit the space lanes.

Mar-ket-ing.
