I can't imagine that it would be priced differently than the CR90, but have we actually confirmed the epic point cost of the Raider? I haven't seen it anywhere.
Have we confirmed the Raider is 3 epic points?
It will likely be the same as the CR-90 in terms of epic points but 10 more squadron points then the CR-90.
Still though FFG has officially declared Epic play to be a non-competitive format thus freeing it from the confines of expectations of balance units. But basically they just said they are not focusing on the epic when they do their competitive play testing so expect some OP builds that may or may not include the Raider which FFG has declared it will hold no responsibility over it.
So anyone want to do the jousting values and find out how powerful the CR-90 is, both pre and post range 4-5 buff?
If it is three does that mean eventually well get a second ship?
If it's two I'd be tempted to get a 2nd one as my friends paying for the first because I gave him a ton of stuff for his shaven army.
Didn't FFG announce some new OP support for epic play at celebration?
Fairly sure they did, yeah.
As for three Epic points, I'm fairly confident we'll only ever see 2 or 3 Epic Point ships. Epic Points are just a simplified way of saying "You can have two Epic ships but only one of the big one." Stops two corvette builds and stuff.
You'll never see a 1 Epic Point huge ship because then you could have five ramming bases on the board. Four would exist only to team up with 1, so it'd be unlikely. 5 would be "you can only run this one" which I suppose is possible but given the Raider is 100pt off the bat I don't think it's likely.

Also no reason you couldn't have upgrade cards that cost epic points. for special abilities that they want to limit for some reason

And similar things for other ships.
I... really hope that's an autocorrect screw-up.because I gave him a ton of stuff for his shaven army.
Oh that tablet of mine!
Skaven stuff was old metal models i've had but never painted worth £130ish these days i thought he'd give me something less impressive in trade but no he was all "here let me order you a raider" so win win.
