IMPERIAL HUGE SHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

By DailyRich, in X-Wing

The upgrade card next to Palpatine definitely looks like Admiral Ozzel to me.

I thought so too! As I was looking at them I was like "is that Ozzel?" why him? he didnt seem to have any more of a role in the films than to provide Piett a battlefeild promotion....

I think this is an awesome release. I'm super excited for it. Probably the most excited I've been for this game in months.

And I already own three TIE/Ad, so the fact that there's four of each upgrade card is just perfect.

Maybe the best part of this announcement is that you will want to bring a capital in Epic play. The Raider will destroy fighters and the Corvette will counter the Raider.

He is as clumsy as he is stupid.

My god that is so sexy.

Colonel Zechs Daryuz has a new command ship.

I think there are three new space debris obstacles in this pack.

OMG I CANT WAIT TO USE ADVANCED TARGETING ON THE B-WING!

Oh wait, you cant? Whaaaaaaaat?

I had Ten Numb ready and everything... :(

Those Fire arcs look like an ultra-wide front arc with 2 wide side arcs on the rear.

Also, no one has mentioned this. But dat paint job. Mmmmmmm.

Will admit, I wanted the advanced fix to be in its own box set as 100 bucks is steep.. but, I guess I'll have to buck up and get it..

And a 'nicely done FFG' is in order...

So it looks like it falls between the CR90 and the GR75 in size. Doesn't seem to have a fore and aft section, either.

I wonder if this is the counter to both Rebel craft or if we'll see another Imperial huge soon?

(I wonder because I need to know if I'm buying two or not)

The stats are:

4 0 8 6 Brace & Recover as actions (like the back of the CR90)

6 0 8 4 Targetlock & Coordinate as actions (like the front of the CR90)

So will the title work on vader? He already flies an x1.

Also stick vader crew on this w the cap ship healing bot...hello unblockable crit every turn!!

Very, very cool looking ship and a great way to give pretty much everyone what they want.

A ship that fits, yet has the the wedge look. Plus it's not nearly as wide in the back end as a Vigile. I like the 'tie panel' look as well.

Really looking forward to seeing the stats on it.

Also kinda excited to see what the Palpatine crew does, because that has to be who's on the end there.

Like the fix for the advanced, makes the ship much better without making Vader OP'ed, so FFG really nailed it on that I think.

A really cool think about the Advanced Targeting Computer is that it frees up Marek's EPT. ATC is basically designed for him, game-wise. He'll be pretty frequently triggering his ability whenever shields are down.

Still thinking about ATC: It's better (way better) than an extra die when you have a target lock. On the turn you grab the lock, you're getting 2 hits with average rolls (one a guaranteed crit). Compare this to 2.25 for an Attack 3 ship with Focus, except the Advanced/ATC gets to keep the target lock. The curve also skews higher thanks to a set result for the third die (1-3 possible hits as opposed to 0-3 for basic Attack 3 ship). If the Advanced has a Focus, you're looking at 2.5 hits compared to 2.25 hits. That's pretty huge. The limitation, of course, is that you might have an initial turn without a lock, and you only get the boost against one target.

I hope there is an Imperial Mouse Droid card.

Where do I preorder?

Also, time to order more Advanceds.

I'm drooling.

Also if it comes with Ion's that means they should be useable on the CR-90 as well, which would be cool.

Vader w/ Marksmanship, Advanced Targeting Computer = profit!!!!

5 dice proton rockets and a guaranteed crit result.

Run and duck for cover Rebel scum, order is about to be imposed.

Omfg!!!!! I CANT PICK MY JAW OFF THE FLOOR!!!!

Wasnt expecting this at all. Well done FFG

Maarek Steele rides again!!! If I'm reading it right adv targeting sensors doesn't remove your TL.

I've always said Maarek Steele was good in Epic battles. Now even better.

P.S. Way to go FFG I love this ship.

is it just me, or does it have almost a TOR/KOTOR sith warship look?

free accuracy corrector is going to be disgusting (also note, the title is not unique)

hope they have 2 of those cards in the expansion or else there'll be some serious money grubbin going on :(
