Nice survey link. Finally a ship choice poll on the forum that's actually a poll.

I voted. I wasn't sure if you only wanted 1 per person, I just voted for my top choice.

BTW: You might want to change the color of the text you used in the wookieepedia links. The bluish-white text is almost invisible on the new forum theme's brownish-white background. Also the Gozanti-class links to the 41m Legends version, not the 63m Canon version (but come on, that's gotta be Imperial anyway).

Finally a ship choice poll on the forum that's actually a poll.

This is just a duplicate of https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/136409-scum-huge-ship-poll/ except with a selection of uglier ships added. There's no good reason not to use the older thread and poll, which already has ~100 votes. People aren't /suuuuper/ likely to waste twice the time voting in a duplicate, so this thread is inherently useless.

Somehow I missed The EasyPoll link on that one. Cool, voted in both then. My choice, the Crusader, is in the lead in both polls so far then. But seriously it's the best choice, it's like the CR-90's evil step-brother.

Changed the color of text back to default as I don't see a fair middle ground.

There is no survey like this on the forum, that other that's been mentioned

is missing ideas from the largest thread on S&V huge ships: https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/113945-scum-villainy-huge-epic/

Also there is no reason to cheat people of choices unless you're pushing them in some direction.

Having all 13 suggested Huge ships makes more sense than only 5, lol.

Speaking of "Useless," by comparison you could also say "Pathetic."

Gabe, your list has three times as many choices, but if you're asking what people think are realistic possibilities for FFG to produce for Scum, at least half the ships on this list don't belong there. Dodt's poll was condensed down to the most common choices from the previous post. Think of it as the presidential election; we've already gone through the primaries and now we're down to the final candidates, and if your guy or gal didn't make the cut, you just have to accept it and move on.

Firstly, there is no other poll or thread that condensed anything,

he chose those ships personally without any conclusive consensus.

Secondly, I don't agree with anyone's realistic possibilities, due to the Raider.

The Raider Corvette by the way is not original. It's a miniature version of another ship.

Thirdly, I'm not doing a poll to elect a president, a poll is not an election,

polls are done to show interest/preference not to elect someone.

I might be fooled by your reasoning if I didn't know the difference.

You're assuming that the results might prove something more than popularity.

An election or popularity contest may need a winner,

but a poll can be done just to gather data.

I don't believe there's any internet polling laws against making a poll when someone else is running one. I'm not some x-wing forums poll king-pin and Gabe's free to make whatever polls he likes as far as I'm concerned. Though it might be poor form to compare your poll to there's and say its useless when both polls have such small sample sizes (my imperial ship poll was live for about a month and got like 200 votes anyone would agree that's a very small fraction of x-wing fans). Id consider both poll's as "useless" despite one having slightly prettier make-up on and more ship options. Humans are stubborn creatures and we are more likely to stick with one choice once its made we probably wont see that big a difference between the results between Gabe's poll and mine (except for maybe the Gonz's because the ship is split between its different incarnations).

This thread is on the other hand is defiantly not "useless" at least it gives this little Dp-20 flame fight a home away from the other poll thread.

So good luck on the poll Gabe and play nice kids were all x-wing fans here and we are all entitled to our opinions.

(Edit: So help me if I see a poll comparing mine and Gabe's poll..... :P)

I vote for this:

Next thing you know Wizkids grabs the rights to a star citizen miniatures game.

Id be surprised if FFG did the Marauder at ~200m its longer and wider then the other epic ships it would probably need three bases to stand on to keep it from tipping over all the time. The other problem is the epic maneuver template if you make a ship that's longer or wider then the CR-90 you get some power sliding effect with its movements. Lastly theme-wise should scum really have the biggest ship in the x-wing paddle pool?

Its a cool ship and all and we'll probably see it in Armada but if 250m was too long 200 is probably too long as well.

Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby!

Dear eight pound, six ounce newborn baby Jesus, we pray you don't let Wizkids make Star citizen games.

Not my first choice, but between Melminiature's sliding scale and Marinealver's base design I wouldn't count it as not doable.

Doable is one thing but is it economical and profitable for FFG to do it?

As you increase the size of the model the production costs and shipping costs increase exponentially I don't see them jacking up the size of epic ships for the scum faction and selling a $200-300 model when there are more fitting choices available.

We went though all this with the Vigil already and the Raider is a sized down ship and it fits the dimensions FFG must feel comfortable at selling their epic models at.

Gozanti-class armed transport for Imperials?

Oh wait this is an S&V poll, sorry... :lol:

What's the frequency of "Your thread is a pointless duplicate, so I didn't vote"?

I would.

I have to play devil's advocate here and say they can price miniatures whatever price they want and still make them for a profit without marking them up so much. Plus the can set a limit of 150 meters for an Imperial match to the Rebel CR90 Corvette but that doesn't mean they will limit themselves to 150 meters for all future projects anymore than they were able to limit themselves to small base starfighters....

I tend to think ouside the box, and I'm sure FFG designers are able to also.

Personally the Marauder isn't on my top 10 list but it was also used by pirates and it's only 195 meters. 195/150=130%.

Gozanti-class armed transport for Imperials?

Oh wait this is an S&V poll, sorry... :lol:

FFG designers work within a fairly narrow set of constraints. Figuring out where those constraints are flexible is part of the job, but typically they can't afford to think outside the box. In fact, they have to think carefully about the box, since manufacturing and shipping are two of the least flexible constraints.

C-ROC Gozanti-class Cruiser slowly inching up.

Probably very well viewed by FFG since it's prominent in Star Wars Rebels.
