I think they made it pretty clear that epic will get Scum and imperial ships. He all but told us which two the empire is getting.
Yes they did didn't they.
The worst part is I have no idea what you're talking about.
He said about what size the imperial ships would be. He said there were only a couple in that range listed on Wookipedia. Pretty easy to go see which two.

Well then... Off to Wookipedia.

Stop dancing around it and post which you guys think it is going to be...
Are you kidding. It was 15min and I got distracted. I've got someone more dedicated looking on TC. I'll post what they find.
Send out the Bothan spies!

Cool!

There they go...
I am going to add them in my version of the game one of these days.
You guys might know that I already called the Vigil and Gozanti for my guess on the Imp-Biggies.
On the subject of Kickstarters...can you do a kickstarter to get Theorist a better microphone. I love the show, but Theorist's sound is always awful. In fact new microphones for all!
Oh and this was a fantastic episode, good score getting them both on the show. It has been refreshing to hear from them both more often recently, and eventually they will crack and give us more info than they mean to.
Edited by ID X TLove this.
'X wing needs a little nudge' - love that recognition.
'We want to avoid power creep at all costs'
Their heads are in the right places for sure!
Also, Sable, thanks for the Maarek Steele in the Defender question. Needed to be asked.

Sadly, I think the Vigil is larger than the size they described in the podcast.
I'd love to be wrong though.

It kinda works, it is in there with the Custom Corvette.
What ship is that!?
So who's putting in on my KickStarter for a to scale Executor?
That would be really cool. I would like some regular Destroyers even more.

It did. But there answer was so obvious I don't know why I hadn't considered it.
They probably didn't ask because they already had the answer: "No comment".
SableGryffon brought up the fact that the question "How would you fix the Tie Advanced" for the guys who have basically said the advanced needs fixing and have the capability was probably not going to get answered.
That's his favorite question too.
I forget which interviewee said this, but with all the different suggestions I like the notion of giving out stress. That seems much more interesting than just extra attack dice.
I guess we will find out in Imperial Aces 2 in quarter 4 2019.
255. It's possible, but they said 250. And it just so happens there is one mean bastard that is exactly 250. The Lancer. Built specifically to slice up starfighters.
Edited by TasteTheRainbowFirst time listener, was a fun podcast and nice to hear from the designers. I'm glad that they have their heads screwed on proper!
And I bought an Advanced the other day. It is heavily implied that I must buy an upcoming Vigil to make it good

Notable S&V Ships of the correct size:
The Wild Karrde (already mentioned in another comment, 150m, Talon Karrde’s personal ship)
The Star Jewel (160m, Jabba’s personal ship)
Both are listed as being armed with turbolasers and would be a decent match in a fight for a CR-90.
For the Empire there are a several options:
The Gozanti cruiser is a little on the small side at 60m but is in Rebels at the moment and often carries TIE fighters (which raises the possibility of a similar expansion to the GR-75).
The Lancer frigate is 250m and is designed to take out fighters and will be familiar to anyone who’s read the old X-Wing novels but doesn’t look especially Imperial.
The Vigil-Class corvette looks Imperial but would be a huge model because of its scale and classic wedge shape.
Then there’s contenders like the IPV-1 and various Correllian Gunships/Corvettes that are all in the right size bracket but don’t look really look very Imperial and only have infrequent mentions in the EU.

Yup...
That picture just makes me mad I don't have a skipray blast boat.
They should just do a mini version of the Dreadnaught... Same size as Tantive, call it good. Maybe call it the Dreadmaybe.
The Tartan-class patrol cruiser is also at 250m, appears here as a successor to the Lancer (which looks horrible IMO)
I think FFG could clean up the design and make it look good.
But what I REALLY took from that interview is that the Vigil is coming. I know Alex said 250m, but it's probably 250-ish, since he's not going to know by heart that the Vigil is 250m. Does anyone think they would pass up the opportunity to give us a wedge-shaped ship? The Vigil makes a lot of sense, I really hope it's the one.
edit: this thread needs more Vigil pics.

The Lancer is a little phallic.
