When will the Empire get the big ships?

By DravinClaw, in X-Wing

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!

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.

Hm... of most of the ships being proposed (Gozanti, Tartan, Vigil), the Lancer actually seems the least polygonal. Look at its aft and tell me if that's polygonal:

Now, while I support the Lancer above the others, I'm not sure that the ' polygonous ' argument is really the best one to use. I mean, we are talking about a brutalist Empire are we not?

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?

Star Destroyers are too small. Also, how much screen time do they get? Not iconic enough.

I want a sand crawler!

I kid I kid.

Honestly, buying your first handful of ships is stage 1 of your X-wing journey. Stage 2 is posting about Star Destroyers and having all the oldsters point out how dead that horse is and yet watch all the beating that still goes on.

Stage 3 is buying multiple ships for the cards inside...either that or posting at 2:30 AM local time early monday morning.

I wish there was a way to skip step 2, and spare everyone of us all the nonsense.

What's your beef?

EDIT: also, you're accusing me of spamming, when your link takes me to a link called 'salesforce.com'...

It's not with you, it's on the Rebel Aces II thread.

I'm discussing something unique and it's getting called spam,

while the Lancer being posted on 175 separate threads ironically isn't spam.

I believe I fixed the link. Site:example.com, not Site:http//www.example.com

Edited by gabe69velasquez

I never posted/responded about the lancer or even the rebel aces 2 thread but you seem to keep harping on it. I asked a simple question which was answered but you keep going on and on about how it's an old issue but instead of saying so you contributed to this thread around page 2. Move on most of us have already.

I've not been reading that thread. It seems like discussing the Lancer fits well in this thread topic. Sure, there are ... one or two... other threads discussing Imperial huge ships. I'm sorry that the proliferation of threads annoys you, but that's no reason to jump all over my post - especially if it's not about me and it is about some thread that I have no involvement in, nor have I accused anyone of spamming.

Actually, I think the issue is that you are posting pure fan speculation and wish listing stuff but coming across like you seriously expect FFG to put something like you are suggesting into a product. If you had put all that y-wing stuff in a separate thread named "developing rules for an ECM y-wing" you wouldn't have gotten so much flak.

Also, I have noticed, you have a very strong tendency to just start throwing sentence fragments out there with no context or explanation. That comes across a lot like a 13 year old kid bouncing up and down in a game store trying to tell and older player he's never met before about his character". That is going to immediately put off any experienced gamer. You need to get in the habit of writing a introductory sentences for your original ideas.

If, instead, you had opened a new thread and started it with

"Hey, wouldn't a modified y-wing designed for electronic warfare be kinda cool and a unique way to differentiate the Y. Maybe give it stats and upgrades like this..."

And THEN launched into your cards you would have come across like a calm adult putting forth an idea for fellow fans to speculate on and maybe help you develop and improve, instead of a kid with impulse control problems who is just talking as fast as he can and doesn't realize nobody cares what he is saying because nobody can understand what he is saying.

And yes, this post probably should have gone in the rebel aces II thread, but I have been avoiding it because it has become a confusing, impossible to follow mess.

And for the record, I do happen to think that an ECM Y-Wing would be pretty cool.

You say that on every thread, and then complain when I bring up the DP20.

Yes, because the DP20 is an unoriginal, unimaginative, fugly-looking rip-off of the Corellian Corvette, and nothing more than that.

And there you are bringing it up again ...

I think you are more mature than this, my post was about the Lancer not about you.

it isn't one or two, its 175, but sometimes a quote is just a quote and not a message to you.

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.

Please, teach us all how to be more mature like you. Does it start with advertising your fake ignore list in your signature?

How does that expression go "Have you stopped beating your wife yet" Forgottenlore?

It doesn't matter how many times you post the same lies,

I'll just post my response once at the Rebel Ace II thread.

There you go bring up the Nebulon B Frigate, again like it has a snowballs chance in hell of ever being made.

And as if the the Nebulon B Frigate is any prettier, ha ha, I get a kick out of your bi-polar personality, thanks for that.

No bipolar here I'm afraid kiddo, I'm sticking to the exact same line that I always have - that being that the DP20 is uninteresting, unoriginal garbage, and I'd really appreciate it if you stopped spamming your unbalanced garbage homemade rules for it on every thread on the forum.

I dislike the DP20 too. Looks too much like a corellian corvette.

Pathetic isn't. Me, I'd just stay away from threads where I'm not going to contribute anything of worth.

Given that multiple posters can't make heads or tails out of your ramblings I'd say you don't contribute much of anything to any thread you particpate in.

I'm in no way commenting on the substance of your posts, because again due the the manic way in which you post, your posts are 90% unintellible. The other 10% is you insulting others which comes through loud and clear, so I suppose that is something.

Less caffeine, maybe steer clear of the quote function or learn to use it properly. Little of both perhaps.

And I'm sticking to the exact same line that the Nebulon B Frigate is never going to be introduced in to a dogfight game no matter how much you beg for it. At least I have a proxy and the pilot cards for mine; And if I have posted about the DP20 it was on a relevant huge ship topic thread. Where as you got told to beat it for spamming your rebel Nebulon B Frigate begging on a t hread for Imperial pie/triangular ships.

Calling it myself:

Imperial GR-75 Equivalent:

Meet the BFF-1 Bulk Freighter, a stalwart of the Imperial supply lines and target of opportunity for X-Wing (video game) players everywhere.

See those 4 Class-A Cargo Containers it's carrying? They will be detachable, and mountable on individual flight stands to use as obstacles / objectives / whatever...

And the CR-90 equivalent?

Oh yes. You know it.

Scram you hijacker scum!

:P

Yeah we all know FFG are sooo going to do us up a nice Nebbie...but we are talking about The All Mighty and Glorious Galactic Empire right now.

:)

The Rebel Scum have enough **** new goodies for the rest of the year!

:ph34r:

I said it then and I'll say it again, it's an absolute absurdity to refer to the Nebulon B as a CR90 corvette equivalent.

Absolute bull, there is nothing wrong with my typing or what I say, you're just some sockpuppet account or some family member of someone who got told who has come to rally to their defense, that's all, your post's here have been nothing but utter crap. Which one is it that's your spoiled 11 year old who can't stand to loose an argument and has to call daddy?

Thanks for bumping that post for me! There's two great ships that would add a great deal to the Epic scale format. Can't wait to see what FFG has planned.
