Actually, I think it makes more sense for fringes to fly (game terms) large and huge ships than star fighters. Most fringe groups wouldn't have the resources to keep anything larger than a corvette flying and they are selfish and paranoid enough that I don't see many of them taking the risk of flying a 1 man fighter. Huge ships are the sweet spot size that an independent freighter would be and it is entirely reasonable that smuggler and pirate groups would convert their standard vessels into combat craft for occasional run ins with imperial customs and planetary defense forces.
Scum HUGE ships...I'm calling it?
Booster Terrik would like to make your acquaintance. He has invited you aboard his ship, The Errant Venture.
Also the hound's tooth is only 47.4m long, huge it is not. Large, yes. Huge, nope.
So... Trigon one maybe.

I wouldn't count on Disney's acquisition to preclude any use of existing EU material. If they did, we wouldn't be seeing EU bounty hunters in Scum, or characters from SWG in the Raider expansion.
The only reason they announced that decision was to be able to produce new canon material without being tied down by existing EU, some of which was friggin' ridiculous.
Another example: I'm playing Star Wars Commander on Android right now which is a brand new Disney/LFL game...and it has the HWK, and the Decimator, and the TIE/D, and some vehicles based on 1980's Kenner toys, and Dark Troopers, and the missile walker from The Force Unleashed.
I think the EU is safer than a lot of you realize—even if they're calling it something different now.
I don't want to be right, because I really want an epic scum, but the type of comradery it would take to fly a ship that large just doesn't exist among thieves. It would fit the characters to not have an epic scale ship. (Please be wrong)

Talon Karrde and the Wild Karrde, while we're at it.
I am not in love with that vacuum thingie...

Neither am I, it's a pretty stupid looking ship, but it really is the most iconic and well known fringer ship in the appropriate size class. I really have a hard time seeing the scum huges be anything other than the Wilde Karrde and a gozanti.
Also, not huge, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Pulsar Skate.

Which means I will buy two Gonzies... and make my own cool ships.

Same here for the most part. I'd take it without the convenient carry handle, though.
That would work.
Although, if they left the handle on and then DID make it a foam lined carrying case...
You could probably modify this to fit some ships
You know, there are a couple of these at the local collectors shops going for cheap. under $50 USD
The point is to have a case that doubles as an actual playing piece for the game. A Death Star sized Darth Vader head does not work.
Now... if it was a robotic maid that looked like the statue of liberty...
good god, I've made a spaceballs reference. What is happening to me.

A second brand new design? Tributed to something of Mandalorian heritage??
Why something new if this is around?
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Crusader-class_corvette
It doesn't have any official dimensions and in EAW it was roughtly the size of CR90
I LOVE IT. LOVE IT SO MUCH.
My vote is for this. It should have been the Imperial Epic, but I'll settle for it being the Scum Epic!
Well, there is a Mandalorian Mercenary in Scum...
oh no its spreading!!!!! ok I guess 2015 (all of it)
I really don't feel like the Wild Kaarde is right for Scum & Villainy. Kaarde is more Smuggler, liked Han and Dash. No, I'm betting the reason we didn't get the Gozanti for Imperials is because it's going to be Scum.

As long as we get the cute little SOB. I would not be surprised to see both versions for both factions.
Crazy... maybe, but the ship does have the two distinct looks to it.
It could happen... dunno.
Yeah if they do the Hound as a big Large Ship, like they did with the Decimator, that will be fine by most of us, I think.
Yes, it would...
Shall we begin my Gloriously Scummy Star Brothers?
HOUNDS TOOTH.
... AND what else?
TCW scaled the Hound down to Large size.
Now that we know the Hound is not going to be a Small'ish (Transport) HUGE S&V ship...
Could this be the hero we need?
Want...
Im a little sad that the hounds tooth is been made as a large base but then at 60 ish meters it was always going to be too small and not a warship so wouldn't have felt right.
Though having the ffg hound sitting next to a corvette will look great and about right for original scale
I think the Marauder class corvette could fit the role of scum epic nicely.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Marauder-class_corvette
It's getting a little too long perhaps at almost 200 meters but she is quite flat so the amount of plastic would be about the same as the Tantive.

I also like the Marauder. In my RPG, one of my players is a pirate captain of one of those.
Anyway - I think the next question is: If'n'when will we hear about a Scum huge ship? Will it be at Gencon, or sometime running up to Christmas?

You can get into the pool if you want. Lord Cole won the last one by guessing when the Empire huge ship was spoiled.
I haven't looked at it all yet but I still have to compile the dates from when everyone made their picks and post it.
