Love the Raider.
I'm just not really keen on the single large engine. I feel two smaller ones would look a little more balanced.
But i love it all the same.
Here's hoping FFG get to design more ships
RAIDER PREVIEW!
It has two aux. engines.
If Palp doesn't isn't at the very least Hugh or Large ship only , I will be very disappointed. I've been waiting to place him on a Lambda since the day they were released. I could see him giving a Howlrunner-like effect due to the long-speculated "Battlemeditation" effect he was using in Ep. 6.
It will be... he did zoom-around in them, in the films.
We all know FFG will keep that stuff in the rules. I would have about six TIEs as escorts for Evil-Big-Daddy.
I'm actually concerned about its balancing. It seems a bit OP compared to the CR-90. That said, the CR-90 has, from what I've seen, always been considered lackluster.
Yeah the ship is good at everything... kinda, but not great at anything.
You still need it, and you should love it.

It wasn't really designed to be a combat ship-of-the-line. The Raider seems more purpose built for combat.
The Transport is an awesome little support ship, but that is all id does. The Runner is just an all around good ship.
The other ships in the game should be coming at us with their own cool flavor, and it looks like FFG is all on top of that approach.
I love it!
Ugh. Now I need a Tantive to fight with the Raider. I'll just hold both models above my head like a kid and make pew pew sounds. And whooshes.

Check page 6 of the Huge ship rules - this is exactly how it's supposed to be done*
*This might not be strictly true
I saw this last night just after finishing my first ever game of Armada. It felt like the best day ever to be a Star Wars/Tabletop gaming fan
A bit disapointed that Tarkin isn't legal for the normal game.
!!!
Huge ship only, so epic only.. meh.
Darn! I was hoping for a Palp update on his card
Tarkin's range 1-4 is epic. So not suitable for 100 point games.
I know. I would've preferred him to be designed for normal play.
Ah man I was really hoping for a discard mechanic with this guy. I mean I just wanted to say...
...
"YOU HAVE FAILED ME FOR THE LAST TIME!" and discard him to get a benefit like a free attack or something.
We have one.. Just run him with off jerjerrod
yeah but it is like you have to have Jerrod for Vader to choke him. It is like Vader does the hand gesture and then Jerrod walks up and chokes the guy. Vader doesn't need others to choke people for him.
...

Why not make that an alternate Vader crew card?
- H8
Just put JJ (Jerjerrod) and Ozzel in a Raider and Vader in a VT-49.
Then you can have the feel of choking of Ozzel from a distance.
Or JJ, Needa and Vader in a Raider?
Apologies accepted....
Feel like that should've been Needa's picture...

Like an Epic play-only version, maybe?

Huge Ship Only* That basically breaks down to playable only in Epic format.

I have a feeling Vader would be OP in the raider, considering the Recover action.
Darn! I was hoping for a Palp update on his card
Look at it this way: not having Palpatine in the reveal means he's not Huge Ship Only, so he should be able to tool around in a shuttle.

Why does it mean he isn't huge ship only?

Many people are assuming (based on the 3 crew that were revealed and the absence of advanced news) that this article was focused on epic play and revealed all of the epic/huge only upgrades. Since the emperor was not revealed, that must mean that he is not huge ship only.
I know. I would've preferred him to be designed for normal play.
True, range 1-3 for less points ...
