They might have learned from that and decided to do the announcements separate this time around. Yes, I know, it's already been said up-thread that they've been consistent with announcements so far. But this set of announcements isn't coinciding with a Gen-con like last time either. On top of that, as aadh, and I, and some others who's names escape me kinda guessed, this is an original FFG creation! How bad ass is that!? I'm so thankful to the licensor to agree with many of us that this company is doing right by the franchise every step of the way, and deserved the opportunity too leave a little, in fact a big stamp, on the book of lore. If you consider that up till now they've been drawing off the trilogies, and the comics, and the video games, basically re-displaying everybody else's stuff, to get to do their own thing only now? That's. Huge. (nice pun that) And for that achievement they deserve to have it get it's own special announcement article.

Now does that mean another is coming? I'd have to hope. It makes sense to me. The Goz is pretty cool after all and certainly possible. Put a set of bomber fixes in that box while they're at it.

People are pointing to one instance in the past, and saying that there's a pattern.

How does that work?

Might the gozanti come out as usable by scum and empire?

Very well could. We might not see it for a while if that's the case though:(

The Decimator was almost Epic.

Just imagine a Raider flanked by two Decimators and a bunch of TIE's

It will look cool, I have to admit that

I have my second Decimator in the Cool Stuff cart right now... get paid next week!

I remember them saying that they announced the Epics far earlier than normal.

If they had to invent a new ship because they felt no canon ships fit their game, why would there be a second one?

Because only the one size category didn't have a good fit, so they made one. The Gozanti does fit the transport size category.

Actually there's more then one instance. All ship's being released together are announced together. So that means even if they do a second Imperial Huge, it may not be out anytime soon.

I don't think anyone is saying it won't happen, just that it's not likely to come out this spring.

Greedy , Greedy , Greedy...Shock and beilderment that wave 5 had only 2 ships ; 1 for both factions...Epic gets an Imperial ; long overdue and greatly appreciated too...Be content my young Pawan and Padwanise...

Someone, somewhere suggested that they do a scum huge (the Wilde Karrde) and then release the gozanti as a 1 epic point huge useable by all 3 factions. I think that would be a cool idea.

Regardless, it really seems like a 2 point imperial ship is needed. The way epic points are structured there really should be a 2 point and 3 point ship.

This is why the '5 point' system was made. The 3/2 and 2/2 split. While technically 1, 4, and even technically 5 point epics aren't impossible. They are highly unlikely.

But it does strongly suggest that a 2 point imp epic will show up eventually.

I would prefer the Interceptor class Frigates for Scum and Villainy. Basically a modified/retrofitted version of the Wild Karrde. Used by the Zann Consortium.

Also, the epic rules were written before this ship came out. The rule of five may be modified to accommodate the new arrivals.

Well, if nothing else, this new epic has certainly renewed my anticipation for more articles! There is so much to discover about this ship. For starters, what do the engines look like? So far, every picture has carefully concealed them, either by the angle presented or by a box covering up the rear.

I can't wait.

I can see the Raider being a 4 point epic. It has better stats than the Vette. 1 more shield per hull section and 6 energy instead of 5. However, the Raider might just cost more point wise. Maybe close to 100 points instead of the flat 90 of the corvette.

If the raider turns out to be a beast. Do the Imperials really need another large ship? I say 1 biggie for each faction and maybe a card set that can make the transport available to everyone. I mean come on it's a bloody transport! let the rebels have their extra "shoot me" flying coffin

Ok, we'll point it out in this thread too.

Players in team epic games are allowed 3 epic points for each player. A 4 EP ship would not be usable in team games without house rules.
