I actually greatly prefer the sleek, sail barge-inspired Star Jewel renderings you can find online. They'll turn out great in the hands of FFG's modeling team I'm sure.
Scum Huge ship poll
Personally, I thought it looked more like a styrofoam coffee cup than a used toilet roll, but your description has more zing to it.
No, you're right - there's definitely elements of styrofoam cup there.
How about this - a styrofoam cup on the end of a toilet roll, attached to a shoebox.
There we go. On the plus side, this should be really easy to scratch build.

I may make one of those tomorrow. I have to go shoe-shopping tomorrow anyway.

Sounds like a plan!
Everyone - your five minute project: scratch build a DP20 out of everyday cardboard and/or household refuse, and post your pictures here! The tackier, the better.
Let's do it. Let's do it for gabe69velasquez.

I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for not calling me on shoe-shopping being a necessity!
What does the dp mean anyway? Deep penetration 20? I always thought it looked like a robot sex toy if a robot ever had one. To each their own I guess...? If ff does some of these I hope they spice up some of the designs for the uglies or just redesign them completely.

Hey, I'd have called you out if you thought shoe-shopping wasn't a necessity. Shoes are highly underrated in too many circles.

I have this new blue dress, and literally no shoes at all that go with it. Kind of surprising, but there it is.
Black Sun AEG-77 Vigo Gunship
/threadover
At 45m the Vigo is closer to the large range of ship then huge.
So far the huge ships have been placed on two large bases this ship is too small for that.
Edited by DodtAction VI for me. Purely because I want to see what they'd do with a Talon Karrde crew. He was my favourite character in the Thrawn trilogy.

Too bad it's in the awkward zone, that's a surprisingly pretty ship.
Hopefully it's either the Gozanti or Interceptor.
For the children who get enthused about this sort of thing.
I wasn't sure such a space-turd of a ship could get uglier than it already was, but you've done it!
Jabba's yacht I think is a shoe-in. As is the Action VI. Hounds tooth will make it in some how I'm sure. I would also love to see a hounds tooth package that came with a special Z-95. Whatever size it is I don't care. It would be awesome.
A buddy had the thought that Lady Luck would come in as a rebel ship and would have side arcs to mix things up a bit. I love that idea. Make it slow with poor turning, a rebel counter to the Tantive.
Also I'm predicting the next two waves will be two scum, one rebel, one imp. At which point they'll be even and we'll probably get one each per wave.

even with all the interesting choices that could be
this still looks to be the best looking choice out there
something about this screams badass!
and i absolutely love the engine thruster design
And come on people, this is a hobby we all obviously love, don't be jerks.

The two outer engines remind me of the hawk when looking at it from behind.

Offspring of an Imperial Gozanti and a Rebel CR90 Corvette,
fitting b*st*rd child for Scum & Villainy.

That looks a thousand times better than that DP20 you keep posting everywhere.
Your poll is missing the Hounds' Tooth
Also missing is the Corellian DP20 Gunship.
I just finished reading the third book of the Thrawn Trilogy
and a pair of them were used by pirates to attack an Imperial shipyard.
• The Dark Revenge was a DP20 frigate that was used by the pirate organization Dharus' Buccaneers during the time of the Galactic Civil War.
• The Loose Cannon was a DP20 frigate operated by a group of privateers known only by the name of this vessel.
• The Sable II was a Corellian gunship commandeered by the pirate Karn Granzor. It was destroyed in battle with the Anto's Star which was manned by former crewmembers of Sable II.
•The Slader's Raider II was a DP20 frigate that was owned and operated by the pirate and smuggler Roark Slader during the early years of the New Republic.
• The Gunship was the name of Niles Ferrier's personal DP20 frigate.

You just have to imagine the potential.
I'm sorry but this ship looks like the CR-90's ugly step-sister. Maybe it has a special place in some people's hearts, I dunno, but in terms of shelf-appeal, someone walking into a game store and seeing this on a shelf is going to think this game is low-quality if this is their first time seeing something from X-Wing.
I like the Gozanti, but It's scum so no tie fighters. I would think the crusader is the logical choice. It looks different and very interesting. Like a lot of the other scum.
Just looked at the Wookipedia pages and must say it really seems to me like the "Interceptor-class" can easily be combine with the Action Transport.
If you're trying to compete directly with the Raider and CC then it seems the Crusader would be the ticket but I'm not sure that is how the Scum should be played.
The poll's been up for two weeks and if were looking for a winner so far its still the crusader (Must be something about Mandalor ships that causes scum fans to geek out). But the spread's fairly even much more so then my Imperial ship poll by comparison was a Vigil landslide. In another two weeks I'm going to close the poll, Gabe has his poll up now so if you want to chat all things DP-20 related you can take them there. Personally I think FFG will sooner do a model of the original renderings of the system patrol craft from the x-wing computer games then the DP-20.
