Let's Talk about X: Imperial Raider-class Corvette

By bubblepopmei, in X-Wing

Check Hothie's thread on EPIC play in the Bat Rep section. He goes into build strategies and crew cost/benefit breakdown.

Then what is it doing in the bat rep section?

Dunno? That's where he put it. It started as a Bat Rep of an EPIC match and he then goes into detail on it.

It's looking like Juno Eclipse is this mystery PS8 pilot, she was hand picked by vader to head the Black eight squad of advanced TIEs...

If it's Juno Eclipse I will literally go nuts. Seriously. Because that means Sam Witwer is going to be in this game at some point and that is just more awesome than I can handle. Honestly love that guy.

I have finally returned!!!

I cannot wait for this awesome ship! I like that with imps they (FFG) went straight to a big ship like the CR-90 for imperials but unlike the CR-90 this thing can fire straight ahead (There was a time when It thought the CR-90 did because I couldn't see the firing arcs well!!! I'm going blind I tell you...cybernetic implants *grumble grumble*). The tie advanced lovin' is sorely needed (Vader with an auto crit or advanced sensors!) and I can't wait to see a support type imperial ship. With the release of wave 5 my self imposed exile is over and I'm having fun again! Looking forward to my scum and mercs!

Having played rebel corvette vs rebel corvette as an imperial ship in an epic game, Epic works really well with multiple huge ships - because they eat so many points, and the roles change - allowing for a more timely epic game. When one person brings 20 tie fighters, the game slows down a bit too much.

With Epic huge's battling it out - you get fighter screens, and interesting choices - take out the huge ship or the fighters first, and the kinds of lists that work well are very different. I think when the raider comes out and we have that asymmetry between the huge ships it will be amazing - now we just need a second imperial epic announcement... hopefully it won't be too far away :)

I need more info before have an opinion about how usefull could be this or that... but.... I love the model, its really good looking ship, congrats to the design department of FFG.

I hope to see this ships on the movies.
