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.

Yes, it is like 180m.. That would be maybe too big. I like the corvette a lot, it is dope looking ship!

Could be that we when or if we get something equivalent to Imp Vets etc, we could get like "most mosy wanted" don't know what to call it, but Jabba could even come in one of those too.

Nooooooooo! argh

the starviper buff is packed with a very expensive paper weight

My days as a counterfeit printing proxy player will begin once the preview article drops showing the starviper buff. Bossk will be proud of me. Probably get the preview article in December.

the italian spreadsheatgate for wave 9 was 100% correct even though peeps said ARC-170 not possible

therefore this photo is 100% true because of science

It makes sense just like ARC-170 made sense. The "Wild Karrde" for scum epic would have been epic ugly. This "Crusader Corvette" will look crazy cool once FFG is done with it.

"Triple Scum Aces" should have been what drops next. 3-ships, 1-box. And Starviper gets a buff and Kirhaxz gets a fix and Syck gets a double-fix

The image is a fake, and not a great one. There's a hot spot on the presentation screen; we should see the same lighting gradient on the "model" as we do on the screen itself, but it's not there. The ship itself is a bit big--bigger than the CR-90 and Raider, anyway, with decent candidates at smaller scales. And as others have said, "Superior Starviper" is a tell. The "v" should be capitalized, and there's no precedent for giving the ship a new name.

Nobody should get their hopes up over this.

Hmm. I don't mind the Crusader Corvette. If true, it would mean that Scum is following the Imperial Epic release, that being the heavier hitting ship releasing first and then the second, support-style ship second. That actually makes sense, as it gets the Scum into Epic with a ship on par with the Corellian Corvette or Raider, rather than handing them their equivalent of the GR-75/Gozanti. The Crusader is a good ship, with enough firepower to be effective against its contemporaries, while fitting the Scum aesthetic and lore.

As for the Superior Starviper...meh. If true, it is an ok included ship. I would predict a decent, but not great set of upgrades for it, much the way that TIE Advanced got a decent but not OP upgrade that moved it into a more competitive dimension. I'd hope for another double set of Auto-thrusters in the expansion. It isn't my number one choice for the escort ship for a Scum Epic, but it is ok.

This would give Scum a unique set for Aces, the Kihraxz and the Scyk. Maybe some killer upgrades in that then, bumping the fact that both ships are extremely customizable.

Like many others have said, looks really sketchy. But then again, I was wrong about the ARC-170, so what do I know. Either way, its good to have some more conversation about Scum Epic.

Yeah okay sure ya tinfoil hatters! Illuminati Bloodlines...

If the leak is legit, cool. I don't have any interest in an epic scum ship, but obviously I'm not the only person who plays X-wing, and the scum crowd should certainly get their own Goliath to duke it out with Raiders and Corvettes.

From an aesthetic standpoint, I think the Crusader looks like a good choice for scum. The C-Roc looks too much like the Imperial Assault Carrier (for obvious reasons), which I think would be a disservice to Scum. (They already share three small ships with the Rebels and one large with the Empire.) I agree with others that the Wild Karrde would be more of a transport than a warship, and the Star Jewel may just be too big, while also still sitting in more of a transport type role.

Just my two cents as a guy who has barely started to play with scum, and still doesn't own a Jumpmaster, a G1-A, or a YV-666. My loyalty still largely oscillates between the Empire and the Rebellion.

This last one is Superior Star Viper in Italy.. So I'm convinced that this might be actually true thing here.

And like someone pointed out already that Star Jewel is way too big and wide for huge ship. Who knows, but kind a makes sense.

I have trouble buying the Star-Jewel-is-too-big claim, considering that the epic ships are not to scale with one another.

This ship is my top pick but there are others that can be used like the "dustbuster" However, there might be something in the anti-missile anti-torpedo capability of this ship that may have been enticing to the design team. This might be a boost for ships in a "screen" and therefore might increase the odds of actually playing a Huge ship in Epic. Just my two thoughts. Hope that this is legit, accepting if it is fake. Not going to get heads-over heal until FFG posts an in store date article.

I do suspect that there could be waiting for a Cartel Ace pack for some other modifications (M3-A Scyk, Kihrahxz) but I suspect that there are a few Scum Only cards that can help increase options of play for certain scum ships that are lost in the pack. Just one thing to remember, the design team wants more aces being played rather than generics so I only have half a hope that Epic will truly benefit from the new upgrades.

It's puzzling. The lore actually supports it.

And with three small ships that need a patch, one ace pack (with the base ships painted as being from the Hutt cartel, no less) and one coming with a faction-compatable Epic ship would certainly be a reasonable way to get patches out the door in a hurry.

But as noted, if that photo is real it's tryin' really hard not to be.

I have trouble buying the Star-Jewel-is-too-big claim, considering that the epic ships are not to scale with one another.

Plus, Wookiepedia says that Star Jewel was 160m. The CR90 was 150m in Legends, and apparently rescaled to 126.68m in new canon (though that surely refers to the clearly shorter RotS configuration rather than the refit version from ANH and Rebels). Not all that different anyway. Hopefully if Jabba makes an appearance in Rebels, Star Jewel will get restored to canon, which would greatly increase its chances of getting in the game.

At any rate, is there any source from Galaxies or anything else Legends for a gold Starviper? I'm not aware of one, and that's the most dubious thing about this picture.

Now, my Italian is pretty lousy; but do the other two in blue read 'Resistance Shuttle' and 'XG-1 Assault Gunboat'?

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...

Already been covered, that image is fake, unlike the original Italian leak. Nevermind the guy who made it already admitted this one was fake, the Gunboat is a really obvious literal google translate approximation, among other tipoffs.

Starviper + Crusader Corvette = Consortium

totally legit faction combo pack

What other combos of small based ships and huge ships are there for combo packs?

M3-A + Jewel = Hutts

Kihraxz + Interceptor Frigate (or unarmed action VI transport) = Black Sun

Z95? + Broken Horn = generic pirates?

I don't care if it is real, what are some combo packs!

I want pictures of spiderman combo packs, get me combo pack ideas on my desk by 5!

fake as fake.

so if it was legit this thread would probably have been closed by now

Why does everyone think the M3-A would be packed in with the Star Jewel? Sure, the hutts used the scyk, but so did a bunch of other people (it was built by MandalMotors, and the only current pilot related to the hutts is the Cartel Spacer, which also mentions Car'das organization). And the Star Jewel came with a complement of Z95s.

What exactly was the "first Italian leak"? (Apart from sounding like a foundation myth about Romulus taking a piss....)

Woo Hoo News Update !!!!

If what people are saying about the Italian leak is correct, it would create a situation where you are 100% right about this being fake, but also we get an awesome looking Scum huge ship and a star viper fix.

I'd be GODDAMN HAPPY if that was true.

But, sadly, it looks too good and too 'shopped to be true

CRUSADER FTW

What exactly was the "first Italian leak"? (Apart from sounding like a foundation myth about Romulus taking a piss....)

Before the Wave 9 announcement, a couple of Italian players got a cell-phone camera shot of the order list for the Italian distributor (as given to their FLGS). Lots of people thought it was fake, both because it included the ARC-170 and because it was just an Excel sheet.

Thanks mate.

Fake.
