When will the Empire get the big ships?

The three main bets (Gozanti, Lancer and Vigil) are all in the Age of Rebellion RPG book by FFG.

Boo. I want mah 1/450 scale Nebulon B Escort Frigate.

Does anyone else really hope the lancer isn't pick out of those three? Imho it's never been terribly interesting as a ship design and the Gozanti (possibly small ship support) and Vigil (capital sized attack ship in the iconic Imperial triangle no less) would fill roles similar to the rebel huge ship counterparts.

Whatever we get, or not, I have faith in FFG and their handling of this terrific game!

I definitely want Imp huge ships, but a Star Destroyer would not be possible as it has 60 Turbolasers, 60 Ion Cannons, and makes the Tantive look like a fingernail.

Edit: And thus would be like 1000 points, and have about 150 hitpoints.

If it is a Lancer, I sincerely hope they take liberties with its appearance and make it a little less polygonal (like something invented for a late '90s video game, or drawn by a lazy illustrator with a straight-edge), and thus more like something worth paying for rather than just constructing out of a basic papercraft design.

If everyone keeps asking about Imperial huge ships, I'm going to pull this car over and take away everyone's toys.

My requirements are simple. It needs to look like a triangle and have lots o guns.

Wookiepedia pegs the gozanti cruiser at 41.8 meters ( http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gozanti_Cruiser ), that's only slightly larger than the 35 meter yt1300. Not exactly a 'huge' ship.

Is it just wrong?

Many people are assuming that imperial huge ships will be revealed at Gen Con in a couple weeks.

What ships those may be is a matter of endless debate in the senate. Me personally, I'm hoping/betting on a gozanti cruiser.

I would say the bottom end of the huge scale.

Doesn't the empire have something about the size of the tantive...my star wars vehicle knowledge isn't what it used to be.

This is really the point where either the forum search function or (probably more usefully) Google comes in handy. There's been a lot of conversation over the past couple of months about what ships are possible, what ships are likely, and what people would like to see.

I am talking about in general besides the next wave of ships and I did use the search on the forums none of which answered my question.

With few enough crossovers between all three that some people have convinced themselves that those specific ships are a certainty.

Let's see the Rebels have the transport ship and the tantive 4 when do we get Star destroyers or would that just dwarf the game as it is?

General? right...

Star Destroyers and Tantive IV size ships?

you are so full of sh*t I can smell you from here.

There have to be about a dozen or more speculative threads on the same subject.

On top of that you have the nerve to post that response while ignoring

the link Vorpal Sword provided: Google

You forgot the Transport, so it comes to name calling wow.

I think you are just one of those people that are incapable of thinking before you speak/type.

I'm still waiting for you to acknowledge the link Vorpal Sword provided: Google

The fact that you kept talking after he posted that tells me all I need to know about you.

If I sound harsh it's because I get tired of people having to explain over and over again

how impossible and inappropriate an Imperial Star Destroyer is for this game.

An you come to the topic seemingly completely ignorant.

The irony is strong with this one.

Dravin, don't mind that guy. He has a penchant for responding inappropriately for no good reason.

It's all good, needed a good laugh anyway.

He has a penchant...

Penchant is a big word for you...

have you been eating a dictionary lately?

If it's not obvious by now, the guy is kind of a troll. Well, not kind of. He is a troll, though not a particularly good one. I just didn't want you to get scared away before he has a chance to get himself banned from yet another forum.

LOL I don't scare too easily I might be a new player when it comes to this game but that's about it.

Thanks that helps.

Perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black,

he's now in the process of trying to bury the Rebel Aces II

thread because everyone can see how much of a troll he is there.

Reported.

The troll is using the report button. Irony, thy name is WonderWAAAGH.

Sorry, have to weigh in here.

WAAAGH is one of the most entertaining posters on this board. Hands down. There's something wonderful about watching intelligent people get sucked down the troll rabbit hole. He's one of the best billy-goats there is!

Second, the Y-Wing ...

when they are annoyed with someone else, to think he'll get away with taking the high ground.

And to set the record straight, he is also a blatant lier, I'm not banned on any forum.

If you reread my edited comment you'll see my own reason for being harsh.

Which is basically, you should learn to search better,

before letting this site become a skipping record.
