Imperial HUGE Ships...I'm Calling It.

By Joe Boss Red Seven, in X-Wing

Still can have the gozanti!

Yes, but it's clear that both the Lancer :( and the Vigil :P are out.

No space dong for you!

And it's wedge shaped, so we Vigilites can claim a technical win. :P

It's a wedge, it's badass. I approve!

Who won the pool?

Lord Cole. He predicted the announcement would come out next week sometime. He was the closests without going over.

Oh no! I was right! I called they could make their own!....come to think of it. I remember I wasn't the only one either but I can't remeber who the other guy was that came up with the same idea. Hrm

I think I said something like that early on, that it was their golden opportunity to undo all that sh*tty art direction from the games. Redesign the ship the right way.

And look what happened: " Kuat Drive Yards began manufacturing the Raider-class corvette in 6BBY as a dedicated anti-fighter vessel blah blah blah"

A ship designed to beat fighters, which is what Space Dong fans keep trotting out. Everybody wins.

That'll do thread.

That'll do...

COOL!

:)

$70 messily little bucks... Uhh, YEAH !

:D

Now the question is how many people will be turned off by that 100$ price tag on the Tie Advanced fix? But if it means more epic games will be played it might be worth it.

Nah it will cost $65 tops...

;)

I am very happy to see that our FFG boys learned to put the alternates IN THE **** BOX from now on.

:lol:

Well yeah, I imagine Miniature Market will have an amazing Q1 2015 with this, Wave 6 and Armada.

I know right... WOW!

The Path to Success

Step 1) Wait for calls for Star Destroyer to reach fevered pitch.

Step 2) Keep waiting for years.

Step 3) Release a tiny Star Destroyer

Step 4) Bathe Scrooge McDuck-style in $100 bills for the next century.

So... now that we all know the Gozanti is not coming officialy... you will need another source to get that ship that you all love so much, hmm? yess... temptation...

Not temptation, just a question of how long will it take me to put that kind of money together.

So I have one new prediction....The Gozanti Releases...wait for it...with a Bomber Patch and bomber model

Then I will be dissapointed...and angry...and start printing/copying cards of my own :(

You are a bad person. A bad, awesome person. With shiny toys that I want.

I totally hatelove you.

Woot! Page CR-90!

Pretty happy about this. Gotta love the wedge shape!

Not super crazy about the solar panels, but I'm sure I'll get used to it (especially when I throw a huge chunk of money at it).

But dude, they are GIANT INTERCEPTOR WINGS !!!

They are not wings! No ships in Star Wars use "wings" for maneuver or lift. They are collector panels, that work in concert with Sienar Systems ion engine design in order to provide reaction mass. In that capacity, a small(ish) capital ship like this one could very well use that same engine design in order to enhance its maneuverability, and these panels would be invaluable in saving space/tonnage that would otherwise be spent carrying fuel.

Yes, nerding out here.... lol

I think they were going for a Fury Class look from Old Republic with the hull mounted solar panels, I like it.

I hope it doesn't stop here. Scum & Villany anyone? And maybe an Imperial support ship? I have more hope now.

And sorry to all you non-Epic players about the Tie Advanced rider. But I'll be getting mine.

Alas, MM is out of TIE Advanceds. Bummer.

I still say hope the second Imp Epic Huge is going to be turrets...

Gozanti tempts me not. Your Sentinel though... It wants the precious.

yet.

So here are my thoughts...

The Raider is a should be 3pt Epic vessel... basically an Imperial version of the CR-90, costing $89 to 99 retail, right?

Max of 5 Epic points right?

What if, towers are 2 points for four towers in a box costing $60 ? Eight towers for 4 Epic points... I am reaching... just saying though.

Kinda happy goz wasn't the big one I kept saying it was too small, and no where near as pretty.

Then this picture might kill you :P

One thing I am hoping for with EPIC play is that the 3 factions a have their own style of EPIC play.

Empire - big ships that can pound capital ships with large fighter screen

Rebels - Ragtag capital ships with some fighter escort

Scum - Fleets of freighters/improvised capital ships with generic fighter/freighter. More convoy than the other two.
