For people debating whether or not Vader can use the TIE/x1 title, it says he can right below the image...

Together, these upgrades greatly enhance the TIE Advanced’s existing strengths and give the Rebellion far more reason to fear such renowned Imperial pilots as Darth Vader and Maarek Stele.

And there is my answer...thanks. I missed that part.

So this is for epic table battles and not for casual play...ok cool well just what is the point size for epic battles? I know standard play is 100 but I have never seen anything on the point standard for this scale.

300 points per side, not more than 12 of any one kind of small ship, no more than 6 of any one kind of large ship. Epic ships have Epic point values, and you can't exceed 5 on a side (this is separate from the 300 squad point value).

This isn't a Star Destroyer, but if you squint it's close enough?

GUYS I FOUND A HIDDEN CARD

http://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/129453-i-am-genius-stroke-my-ego/

I fail to like its design.

I find those wings so ... ridiculous ....

Finally we get an epic ship .... and I hate it ....

... this makes me sad ...

Ah, a couple people had already quoted that and i thought you were ignoring it, my apologies for being so vehement.

I want to try my corvette with this. Now is it better than quad guns or turbolaser?

I'm wondering if this is gonna be 2 epic points or 3.

The CR-90 is 3, so I expect this to be 3 as well. I can't see how it could possibly be 2, that's the price of a GR-75.

It can't be 4 points, because then it couldn't be used in a team epic game, since the most either side can use is 3.

The most either side can use is 5

Find out what the new Twin HLC upgrade is and i'll give you some internet cookies.

Not in a team epic game. You can use 5 in normal play, or each player can use 3 and 200 points of ship in a team game.

I don't know what hurts more...

my wallet or this thing in my pants that's been going on for over 4 hours now???

Lets see how long it takes FFG to backtrack the Imp-Raider into an Armada supplement.

Kinda sad they didn't go with the Vigil, but I think I might get this just for the Advanced cards.

Need a real end to the Vader debate? Just get the alternate art card from Worlds 2014. It has the TIE Advanced symbol, but doesn't actually name the ship.

What do you make of those firing arcs?

Looks to me like a healthy forward only primary arc and two health sideways secondary arc. Still has that naked backside though...

It looks and feels Imperial, awesome job FFG!. Now to get me a couple more Tie Advanced... O the feels

Still has that naked backside though...

It should, IIRC that was always an issue with the ISD design, the blind spot in the rear of the ship.

I'm wondering if this is gonna be 2 epic points or 3. If it's 2, we're all doomed...

Im guessing 4, and the gozanti will be 1. Just to be different than the CR90+GR75 combo

Again, 4 Epic points has the problem of the Team Epic format. In Team Epic, each player has only 3 epic points to spend, though the team as a whole has no limit. So a 4 epic point ship cannot be used in the format. This has been the problem with a 4 EP ship ever since they first announced the format back when the transport came out.

That's what support fighters are for

Why solar panels though. Let's run a poll. Does that look dumb or not?

I think it does.

Also not sure if I'm fond of the fix. Really only accuracy or adv tar are going to be the choices.

This made me pee a little.

So so excited

I think the panels look great. It helps set the scale of the ship, it's wedge shaped but not an actual Star Destroyer. It would be hard to tell the scale otherwise. They also act as additional armor plating I would think.

I'm not sure why solar panels on a corvette sized ship are more unbelievable than having them on fighters anyway.

I do like the TIE Advanced upgrades & paint scheme. I'm not so convinced about the Epic ship, though.
