So after the announcement of the Scum & Villainy faction units release, there was much appreciation and much disappointment. I predict it's going to be a hit with Boba Fett being bigger than Darth Vader regardless of what fluff lovers hope for in the future. Darth Vader mind you had to be put out first being the game that it is, but the heavy weights of the S&V can make their grand entrance later. That being said, I have still no doubt that S&V Huge ships will be produced before Imperial Huge ships, just because it makes perfect sense. Anticipation = ++$$.

So I'll start this off with some possibilities for a good S&V Huge ship, and I promise it isn't going to be a boring old piece of gray pie. Let's get a couple of unlikely behemoths out of the way first as I don't expect to see such iconic ship in the third faction: According to Wookiepedia the Black Sun syndicate had acquired Venator-class Star Destroyers & MC80 Liberty type Star Cruisers...

MC80 Liberty type Star Cruiser



Venator-class Star Destroyer


Interceptor-class frigate
At 175 meters, a much more likely candidate for a Scum and Villainy Huge ship.


Crusader-class gunship
At 200 meters, more than a match for the CR90.


Minstrel-class space yacht.
The most likely of all Scum and Villainy Huge ships, at 160 meters, Jabba's own personal corvette-size ride.

Ubrikkian Frigate




The VT-49 Decimator opened the door to other StarWarsGalaxies ships

Blacksun AEG-77 Vigo


And of course the Black Sun Gozanti


So which do you think are likely? Criticisms and suggestions? Stat predictions?
I know a lot of people would like to force choke FFG designers for not bringing out Imperial Huge ships, but I see it as a good sign for new faction ships all around.

Edit: Ninja'd!

That didn't come up when I did a search.

Money on DP-20.

Affiliation

• Galactic Republic
• merchant companies
• wealthy travelers
• planetary defense forces
• pirates
• Alderaanian Resistance
• Galactic Empire
• Alliance to Restore the Republic
• New Republic
• Galactic Federation of Free Alliances
• Confederation

Hadn't thought of this as anything but Rebel but looks like I was wrong. That is one very battle ready pirate ship.

Mobquet medium transport

At 79.3 meters this odd design may work as a G75 equivalent.

YV-666 light freighter

At 62 meters another good GR75 equivalent.

A Mon Cal cruiser?

An iconic Rebel capital ship that's the size of an Imperial Star Destroyer?

Not a serious suggestion as I said exactly because it is too big, and also yes very Rebel, but still worth noting that Black Sun had them, and that's all I was doing when I mentioned them. But thanks for pointing out that I could have been clearer, I'll fix that.

Oh FFS, knew I shouldn't have looked here, at least 3 of those ships have just gone on the 'to build' list <face palm>

The pirate interceptor frigate might be quite likely - FFG have a track record of drawing stuff from the computer games.

Plus a minstrel just because jabba crew card.

Wild Karrde

My bad, I didn't look closely enough and I mistook this ship for the Interceptor-class frigate.

At 125 meters it's more likely than the Interceptor frigate for X-wing, thanks for that.

If we get the Wild Karrde, I hope it will play for Rebels and/or S&V since in the book series Talon Karrde eventually joined the Rebels. Either way,It would make a nice addition to the huge ships.

My new favorite ship I believe ( after the DP20 of course ).

The Star Jewel Guard was a squadron of six Z-95 Headhunters that served as a part of the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure's criminal organization. Six of the squadron's pilots were stationed aboard—and acted as escort to— Jabba's personal space yacht, the Star Jewel.

I'm surprised how similar in stats to the CR90 it would be.

I was not aware until I dug a little deeper for info on this ship that it is a prequel ship.

since when? it's from the Heir to the Empire from 1991, way before the prequels happened.

If we do get the Action VI transport, I'm sure that there will be a Title card for the Wild Karrde, probably giving it the option to have some offensive weaponry.

That crusader class gunship. I love it. Will think of some stats for it tomorrow, but they might be on the conservative side as I don't want to over do it like one guy did with a DP20.

AEG-77 is too small. It's 45 m long.

The Star Jewel busts me up, which makes me want it more.

YV-666 light freighter

At 62 meters another good GR75 equivalent.

That is going to be a great addition to our games...WANT!

Coming for the Holidays 2014!!!

I want to play this ships, every one of them, greettings.

That guy with the DP20 is still in the playtesting phase...

I thought this was a different ship, but apparently it has a variety of looks,

and even better it has a thirteen laser cannons.

I think it's going on my must have list, whether it's FFG or Shapeways.

Maybe you can tell me what ship that is in the top picture in the bottom right corner? It's been suggested it looks like the Wild Karrde and I tend to agree since the nose has the same drop and the overall shape. I'm not saying it was invented by George Lucas for the Prequels, I'm suggesting it could be reserved for a prequel faction huge ship. I'll have to take another closer look - it's also possible I need new glasses.

Ah I took the intent of what you wrote in a different way. Squinting at that picture after blowing it up a lot, yeah I can see that being a cameo of the Wild Karrde in the same way there are a couple YT-1300s parked on the left of the shot. Just like they put the Outrider into the background of Tatooine in the special in a bad way edition. Considering you see it in all of one shot though I don't understand why you think it needs saving for a prequel game that may or may not ever happen, it's a very prominent EU ship from the novels in the classic era.

I don't see it. It's a vague resemblance.
