Scum epic ship with Starviper leak on reddit. Is this legit?

By AdmiralThrawn, in X-Wing

Makes me a little sad that it is fake. I would have definitely been on board with a crusader class corvette for epic. Fixed starviper would have been the icing on the cake.

So far FFG's been good about not adding ugly ships to Epic (the EU has a real kludge of them once you get higher than starfighter scale).

hahahahahahah You thieve!!! I saw that picture in a facebook group, I couldn't understand how until I saw this.

Ha sido muy romantico eso de A friend <3 XD

It's fake no matter how many times it's reposted.

It's not a bad pick for Scum Biggun, if one assumes then that the Hutt ship will be the Transport-scale ship. (Possibly by dint of insufficient Big Guns to justify being the big warship.)

And packing the StarViper in there all but promises that it'll be the Scyk and the Kithraxz in a Scum Aces - or, perhaps, a Cartel Aces pack, anyone?

Or maybe they're patching StarVipers and Scyks both in Epic Ships, and there's no Scum Aces pack coming at all.

The latter feels a bit... lame... but stranger things have happened.

Is it real? Eh, we'll see. But I'd have thought they'd make it bigger if it's the only thing on the slide. ;)

The image is fake but this is one of the top three ships that FFG should-could-prolly will make...

:D

If it's on the internet it must be true.

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

Well nevermind then. :unsure:

To legit to quit!

"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.

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

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.

Or put the Starviper in this and then make a scum aces with the others. That way all three ships get fixed and scum gets an epic.

I also find it interesting that it's Zahn Consortium, given that Legends say the Zahn Consortium got the rights to build the starviper after Xizor died.

Not proof, but it's the same sourt of plausable connection that was the reason we suspected a Cartel fighter with a hutt transport.

We all gave the "Italian Leak" person hell, and it turned out to be 100% correct. In that same image it also lists these two items (the cruiser and the superior star viper). I'm going to go ahead and say this one is going to end up being correct.

The "first" italian leak turned out to be correct. The "second leak" was a joke played out by someone who admitted it was fake, to extend what he thought was the fakeness of the first...

Assuming this does turn out to be true, I have one major problem with it --

THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY COOL EPIC SHIPS TO CHOOSE FROM FOR SCUM!!!!!

Seeing this picture kinda let me down because it wasn't what I really wanted. And then I realized that what I want is four different Scum epic ships and that's probably not going to happen. :( I want them all!

-Star Jewel

-Wild Karrde

-C-ROC Gozanti Cruiser

-Crusader-class Corvette

Oooh. I like it even more, now.

Did they do ostentatious golds, by chance?

If this was a presentation, then they probably dont even have a prototype to display so everything about the pictures would be fake and photoshopped.

Maybe they di make that corvette for Scum. I would imagine that it would make good looking ship.

Only thing is that we are still waiting for Jabba crew card, so that almost would require the Star Jewel...

Any suggestions for Jabba? I hope he will be powerful 6-8p and I also would like to see Xizor ad crew too! Maybe Corvette comes with powerful Xizor crew card?

I'd love to see the Star Jewel, but theoretically it's even longer than the CR-90, and a 'bulkier' model besides.

So either it's getting scaled down, or they'll put Jabba in a smaller escort vessel, assuming one exists.

Only thong YOURE waiting for maybe. I'm waiting for talon karrde personally. As for Jabba ideas, go check out the custom card league upgrades thread. I created a custom jabba card that got voted in. 8 points, 2 crew slots, lets you flip up one illicit upgrades when its discarded per then (a la tomac bren)

Looks like a lot of dark yellow trim.

I hope this is real. That huge ship looks dope! And a starviper fix would be pretty coolio too.

If this is true, my Scum fleet will be growing. I have zero interest in Heroes of the Resistance or Wave 9. I've been holding out hope for a Rogue One Core Set with the TIE Striker and U-wing but will be very excited if the Crusader Corvette is introduced along with a StarViper fix. While Jabba would be nice, I don't like the design of the Star Jewel at all and have wanted the Crusader Corvette all along - it just looks cooler. I like the StarViper because I'm a big Shadows of the Empire fan.
