Is it known yet what scale these miniatures will be at?

(Prays for 1/10,000 or 1/20,000)

It is definitely going to have a sliding scale. The corvette looks to be only about a third the length of the victory SD.

Which is fine. That's really the only way you could possibly do a game like this. As long as it is consistent it should look fine.

I'm a little annoyed at the necessity for a sliding scale.

I just hope that the scale is a constant sliding one, rather than an arbitrary scale.

Of course, I do have my Star Destroyer model kit (not yet assembled) at 15".

According to multiple posts by people other than me that have done the math, they be working on a sliding scale, so nothing static like (most of) X-Wing

Well, you gotta figure that a Super Star Destroyer is going to be inevitable in this system...

Given FFG is apparently willing to put out something the size of the X-Wing's Tantive IV, if you made that the Super Star Destroyer and stuck with a single scale in the game, the Victory-class would be about the size of an A-Wing.

So I think the only way we'll get a SSD is with a sliding scale (and I'd be willing to bet FFG makes it X-Wing-Tantive-IV-size so at least it still "feels big", even if it's not quite right).

You also have to take into consideration that the ship in the starter is a Victory class. The Imperial Star Destroyer will have to site somewhere between the SSD and the Vic

Sure, but...nice thing about a 'sliding scale'...it just has to be a LITTLE bigger than the VSD, not the 'canon' double-the-length.

You still get the idea 'this is a bigger ship', visually, without them having to make the SSD the size of a small house...

I have two 1/20000 scale fleets and I don't happen to own Nebulons or CR90s because they'd be really, really small. My Carrack cruisers are utterly tiny. On the other hand, it's a perfect scale for MC80s, ISDs, and anything bigger. My Allegiance SD is beautiful and looks just menacing enough at its size.

Armada will likely be flexibly with its scale if they're going to fit CR90s on the same field as any of the upper-end star cruisers. And that's okay. I like having things in scale, but I like having a functional game, too. A functional, well-marketed game that people play? Yes please.

EDIT: At 1/20000 I could own an in-scale SSD, but it would be absolutely massive. The garage-cast model I could buy of that costs several hundred dollars. Again, Armada should be a more reasonable option.

.

Given what we've seen, it's pretty clear to me that they're adopting a 'relative scale', which means that each ship is a scale all to itself, and there probably is not even so much as a curvilinear relationship between the different scales (unless, by curve, you mean something that wiggles).

I'll tell you what stage of grief I'm in when I figure it out myself.

Mikael,

I've moved past denial and into acceptance. Not happy about it, but accepting it. And planning ways around it.
