Anyone think we might see some interior tiles modeled after the interior or the Tantive IV or something like that?
Would that be cool or meh?
Rebel ship interiors?
A CR90 might be too big for a single map (150m x 50m == ~75x25 squares?); but the Falcon or a Lambda shuttle could work as a one-off. That said, a mini campaign / multi-match skirmish scenario boarding a ship would be be super cool. Raid starts amidships, and progresses through different regions of the ship based on success failure; culminating in the capture of the Bridge or disabling the Engine room.
Can't think of an Imperial ship that's small enough; might have to be contextualized as a rescue mission on a CR90 / Neb-B that was already captured to explain why the heroes are acting 'alone'?
(Thinking about it more, (it's a problem I have), the CR-90 might be ideal for 3 Mission pack: With 'Boarding' branching to 'Capture the Bridge and Secure the Data' / 'Sabotage the Engines and Scuttle Her'.)
Replaying the Tantive capture from ANH - that would be so greatness. Rebel troopers have to protect C-3PO and R2-D2 and ensure they reach an escape hatch before Stormtroopers and Vader overwhelm them

The Imperial Raider is about the same size as a CR90.
It would be super fun to have two large ship interiors connected by one or two airlocks.

It would complete my dream of having simultaneous, linked X-Wing, Armada, and IA games. Then I would just need an entire week free to resolve a single engagement...

There's a pretty sweet CR90 floorplan in "Star Wars: Complete Cross-Sections" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/A1dKG-Okc-L._SL1500_.jpg
Looks like it would divvy up nicely into sectional maps. Since FFG invented the Raider, they could go a step further and design the interior to work on the flipside of the CR90 tiles.
Then throw a YT-series / VT-49 / Lambda tileset into the 'ship' wave and take my money already.

Why can I only have 1 like to give you?
Check out Maps of Mastery by Chris West. He has maps that include two starships linked by airlocks. His maps could be used for IA I think.
Thanks,

Since Nebulon-B Frigates were originally created by the Empire, you could probably use the interior tiles for a mission on board one of them.

Cool. Definitely cool. The interior of the Tantive IV is so iconic, I think they'll almost certainly make some tiles in that style that can be used for that and other places.
A big tile to represent the whole Falcon could be good - you could stick it down inside other environments - Tatooine, Imperial Ship/Station.

You could even have a few tiles of CR90 corridor inside the doors and then a some big tiles of Star Destroyer landing bay outside!
