I apologize for no picture, I can't do it on my phone.

Thought you all should see this, and I'd like some clarification on whether it fake or not.

If it's not, looks pretty cool.

Take the same tone we did with Wave IX leaks: Probably not, but if it is, cool.

I can't find any listed sources for this leak. At first glance it looks like a presentation, but I can't think of anything going on. Could be a photo of someone's monitor in a dark room.

If pictures have leaked and its legit we can expect a news article soon anyway. At least that's what happened when Imp Vets pics and Wave 9 pics both leaked.

the ships match the earlier italian leak that included the arc-170) so it's the right ships

It is also a legit ship that was used by S&V according to Wookiepedia: "Ships of this class were part of the naval forces built up by the crime lord Tyber Zann in his crusade to gain galactic influence. They were used as a component of his relatively sizable fleet."

That picture's pretty shopped. But it seems really likely either way.

Says not final product awaiting supervisor approval underneathe. Don't know if that would mean the pic or the ship.

Maybe, might be time to retire my kit for the S&V GR-75.

I can't think of any conventions or trade shows going on right now. Where would that even be? Who has industry events on Mondays?

Isn't looking good for this one sadly.

We'll probably know soon enough

Also, this has the blue logo, but that's only been used for TFA stuff. I'm pretty sure if this were real, it would have the red logo. I'm guessing fake.

A golden starviper? How absolutely gaudy. If it is true, it's a pretty far fling from what I expected to be the natural first step into Scum huge ships, with Jabba's den still having a handful of recognizable but untapped characters for crew (Jabba, Salacious, and Bib) and the Star Jewel including support for a Z-95 title and Scyk buffs.

But also golden starviper.

The image looks uber CGI and Photoshopped. Difficult to say.

That looks photoshopped as heck.

I think this leak is probably fake.

But, based on the text on the wiki, this ship might be a fair candidate. My only problem with it is that it is not the Star Jewel. And I need a Star Jewel.

That looks photoshopped as heck.

To be fair, pretty much *all* the pics that have appeared in presentations have been CGI renders, so...basically, by definition, 'fake'.

Still, I'm going to go ahead and be skeptical on this one. Basically because of the aforementioned reasons:

• While the Starviper needs help, it's not in an AWFUL spot - and the Scyk is. Scyk is more likely for inclusion as a fix.
• Jabba's ship seems vastly more likely as a candidate for Scum 'huge' than this one, IF the EU is being tapped at all. I mean...you get the possibility, that way, of a 'Jabba the Hutt' crew card. How could FFG possibly pass that up? This one is derp-obvious.
• MORE likely is that they are going with 'canon' ships, anyway, rather than EU. So something like the Broken Horn is considerably more probable.

...I mean, all that said, HELL YEAH I'd be onboard with this. Definitely like that design of ship, and the Starviper could use a bit of help.

Still...I wouldn't put any money on it.

(Of course, it seemed a sure thing - at the time - that FFG couldn't have turned around the Fang Fighter or Shadow Caster as quickly as they did from their debut on the TV show, so...who knows...)

That looks like the same graphics used at the in flight report from gen-con.

Yep. A friend sent me this after playing a bit with brightness and contrast:

The nose art is copied from the second result at Google Images with Crusader Corvette. The one above is the first (plus the image at the SW wiki).

Although the whole "Superior Starviper" thing already blows all its credibility.

Fake or not I'd definitely be happy with this. And I love the people using the reason "it's not what I predicted" as their reason for calling it fake.

Hoping it's fake, still holding out hope for the Wild Karrde.

Which would be easy enough to get an image of to make a clean template.

I can't see it being the StarViper getting the buff from being packaged with an Epic. Even if the ship could use a boost gameplay-wise, it's still the only way to get Autothrusters, so it hardly needs the exposure. I think we're more likely to see a Scyk or a Kihraxz bundled with a big ship.

Fake or not I'd definitely be happy with this. And I love the people using the reason "it's not what I predicted" as their reason for calling it fake.

"The surprising and unlikely nature of this selection of ship casts extra shade on the likelihood that it is real."

Somebody who is a really big fan of a more obscure ship is more likely to make a fake as a love letter to their favorite hunk of flying space metal.
