IMPERIAL HUGE SHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

By DailyRich, in X-Wing

I love all the mechanical stuff about this release. The Fix for the Advanced, how it sounds like this ship will play.

But the actual design really isn't doing it for me. I wish the bridge superstructure was a bit more pronounced, not a lot but a little. I don't like the thickness of the main body, I think it is coming across as more cone shaped rather than a wedge. The solar panels just aren't working for me.

(plus, I really wanted a Gozanti)

I like the solar panels. They make sense on a ship that size, given what seems to be it's capabilities. It's unlikely it could fit a engine big enough to support it, so it gets extra energy from the panels.

I also like how it looks. It looks good with them, plus it looks more dagger shaped then then ISD pie shape.

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.

I actually quite like it.

me too. Though the gozanti always looked a little derpy.

Likewise. I vote for "awesome".

Tax refund GONE!!!

I like the panels, it gives a 'bladed' look, looks dangerous. It also ensures that it isn't just a "baby star destroyer".

Is this a $100 expansion or a $60 expansion like the transport?

"The impetus behind the Raider-class corvette came from a desire to produce an Imperial ship for X-Wing that was comparable in size and role to the Rebel corvette."

Is this a $100 expansion

$100, $68 at CoolStuffInc.

Seriously this is one sexy imperial ship

Struth!! What a cool looking ship. I hear the dark side of the force calling.

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.

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

No worries. I can see how that would be frustrating. I consider myself to be very honest when I debate people and I think my posting history bears that out.

Sorry for missing that point. If I had noticed that the argument would have ended much earlier

I love how I can't even find more advanced ties now from all this hype

Well I managed to aquire two when they first came out and only played two games with them....now i can knock the dust off them and put them back in service

I would have left the panels off and had turrets there...Oh wait. i did *L*

Thank you, FFG, for perpetuating the Epic format. Nicely done.

I picked up a couple after talk from Alex and Frank hinting at upcoming changes for them. ...not that they won't be available by the time the Raider comes out. However, having the three total makes me want the Raider even more so I don't know if having ordered them was actually a good thing for me or not. ;)

Yes finally now let's see how long it takes for a on the boat thread to pop up

Looking at the card fan, in addition to getting Palpatine, I'm fairly certain we are getting this guy:

I think the Raider looks cool. Even the solar panels.

Love the advanced fix. Also the raider looks sick. I can't wait.

It would look better without the wings.

It would look better without the wings.

And with turrets instead of hatches

It would look better without the wings.

click clack.
