I'd like these distances, if you have the time. I'd like to update the vassal module with this information.

Transport gap: is it exactly 1 small ship base, namely, 40 mm ?

Transport template:

-how long are the forward subsections, are they exactly matched with the regular forward-1 templates? (the sections marked 1, 2, 3 and 4)

-how long are the additional "half" sections (located beyond fwd-4 and beyond bank 1)? is it exactly 20 mm?

-how long is what looks like a "third" section, prior to foward 1, where the notch (used to put the back of the forward base of the transport in place). Is it 13 mm? 15 mm?

-how long are the widths of the "three lanes" of the template?

-is the angle of a bank something like 27.5 degrees? 28 degrees? (I already know it's not 30).

(Place a ruler inside the groove and trace a line, going forward (and tilted relative to the template) - angle is between that line and any lengthwise line of the template)

thanks!

The model is approximately 229 mm (9" long) including the overhang.

The combined bases span 194mm.

The gap between the two bases is 35mm.

Each 1 bank is close to 30 degrees, six gets you turned around in about a diameter of 15". Since the turn causes a little fish tailing, you need slightly more room than this to stay on the board.

The maneuver template units are consistent with the other movement template sizes.

The coolest part of the ship is its underbelly, which you don't normally see due to its orientation to the board. You see all the cargo containers and the hinged doors that help protect them from harm.

Are you saying the plastic square bases are the same as a Millenium Falcon base (which is 80 mm on the side) but that the gap is definitely smaller than a small ship (40 mm on the side)?

I'm very surprised the bank is more than 30 degrees. On another thread here, someone posted pictures of a transport performing 6 banks and it did not achieve a 180 degree rotation (it was visibly under that).

Sorry, I meant 30 degrees. I don't know how I ended up typing 33.

The bases are large ship bases. The only difference is in the "pegs".

The gap between the two bases is slightly shorter than a small ship base.

It's about the size and shape of a subway foot long.

Are you saying that footlongs aren't a foot long?

Next thing you know a 2x4 won't really be 2in by 4in...

Well has anyone who know measured them........

I'd say 'bout 'yay big.

Muon,

I think/hope this is what you are looking for. My handwriting is terrible, if you can't read something PM me.

Also, I know that we don't think the angle for the bank is 30, but I'm pretty sure I measured it correctly. I think the reason that people aren't getting 180 degrees in 6 banks is due to the uncertainty in the template itself. Banking the transport is not an exact science. The notch that makes contact with the base is actually pretty small, and it's not easy to get true solid confident contact with the front base when lining it up. This is further compounded by the fact that the area that makes contact with the template is obscured by the cardboard base that spans across both bases. I've been testing flying it around other ships, and each time I go to bank it, I have trouble getting the template to really fit snugly into play against the base. I think that angle is 30, and it anything, the angle within the template may be > than 90 degrees.

I don't know if FFG intended there to be some variation when moving the huge ships, but there is when banking. I think the slight changes that occur when banking is the explanation for the not 180 degree turns when performing 6 banks.

You may have to fly one to understand what I'm saying.

I wonder if the (I assume) forthcoming acrylic third party huge ship maneuver templates will help with that.

I was thinking the same thing as I opened the package.

Though I wish it was the same cost as a five dollar foot

Much obliged, Rinehart!

Gonna get my hands on one myself, hopefully tomorrow.

Can I ask what is the measurement of the gap bellow the angled bite and the very bottom of the movement ruler?
