Major Artwork Error

By Tidy Fender, in X-Wing

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but the Expanded Cargo Hold upgrade for the Rebel Transport?

This is the hangar bay for the Covenant SDV-class heavy corvette Ardent Prayer as featured in the XBox 360 game Halo Reach. There are two Phantoms coming in to deliver troops. Two Elites, four Jackals and six Grunts are already there. This is both a campaign mission and a Firefight mission, I've spent hours there. I'd recognise it anywhere.

This is more than just an error, isn't it? It's bad enough that it is recogniseably not Star Wars. I don't know how FFG acquires their image licenses, but it seems unusually to me that Microsoft would license a screenshot of their videogame to an unrelated Star Wars tabletop product. What happened here?

Maybe it's best if you don't say this to loudly

Fake... My expanded Cargo Hold just shows cargo containers. No Idea what you're looking at for the image.

April fools was two months ago....

I'm pretty certain that isn't the actual card art. You will notice that it doesn't have the listed upgrade icon.

Its a fake card. There is no identifier in the lower left corner and I have the GR 75 and it certainly did not come with this card.

And that is not the picture on the card that I have in my collection.

I think he found this on AFM which has spoilers of every card. However, when they don't have a scan for the card they will use a proxy image in its place til they get the real image. Not much to see here.

Oh man I was wondering what the deal was with the art from that card, didn't guess it was that. I've spent countless hours jet packing firing rockets in that cargo bay. Saw it on AFM as well. Good thing it isn't the actual card.

It's on the X-Wing Wikipedia page for the Transport as well

That is because they got it off AFM.....the fact that there is this many replys calling this a load of FAKE dog crap, in a round about nicer way than I just did, and the OPer hasn't come back to defend it speaks volumes!

The best of AFM, IMO:

In that case, question answered. I've only just started this game, and I came across this image while researching other sets. It didn't occur to me that there would be peculiar mock-ups like this in place of simple text where actual images were not available. I've been worrying about this for a couple of days, because I really like this game and I'd be very dissappointed if it got shut down by an absurd legal blunder.

That would be a really difficult mistake for them to make, since there's good reason to suspect that Lucasfilm has a say in the approval process for their artwork. And the odds that FFG puts in a Bungie screenshot as a placeholder, and LFL doesn't notice… I'd guess probably about 3,720 to 1.

Well, Han Solo beat those odds, and FFG can take him as a pilot or crew.

There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry!

Man a space ball one mini would be epic

We Brake For Nobody.

If you're worried about that art. I would be really worried about FFG (haha) using the art on these cards.

Every time I field the Backup Generator someone started drumming the table. :P

Actually a fantastic resource.

Yes yes, point made. Consider the new guy suitably hazed.

;)

You had me going - and it was believable for a second as well because after the typo's on Leia's crew card I was ready to believe something like this as well!

Bah, this isn't Attack Wing, which uses a Combine Rollermine for mines!

Combat Retrofit is the best!
