Looks like an over-grown love child of a HWK and YV-666...
... not so keen on it.
But did someone mention 'Star Jewel'...? Yes please!
(besides all the Jabba affiliated characters for crew, they could also do a Lim Ed version of 'Rebel Captive' depicting slave Leia)

IG-88 loves princess Leia in a metal bikini.
Sadly, the I LIKE button can't be pressed
because I don't like the idea of not getting S&V Huge and Starviper goodies :C
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.
I'd just like to point out that the above is wrong.
The leaked pics of Wave 9 prior to Yavin ALL featured the blue X-Wing logo. In fact, it was a bit of a talking point at the time. So that much, at least, is consistent with the previous, genuine leaks.
That said, the "Superior StarViper" name was featured on the follow up fake leak.
IF TRUE: Whoa, that was unexpected! But awesome. Can't wait to see it for REAL on FFG's news page. That is one cool looking ship, though I still hope for a C-ROC Gozanti. Like the Empire, FFG is probably going to release the big guns before the support.
IF FAKE: Ah shucks! Would've been a good ship to have.
Edit: just read eMeM's post. Sigh, looks like the latter.
Ah shucks!
Edited by RhosaarcIf it is real and therefore the Scum Aces pairing becomes the Khiraxz and Scyk then doesn't that make it logical as they could both come with Black Sun alternate paint schemes?
cool although I am not a fan of the space butterfly... still wonder when FFG is going to milk the CR-90 and Goz and make an Imperial and Scum version of those as well... Now THOSE would make a cool Grand prise for an event particularly if they were to release them to the general public at a later date.. I hate exclusive crap that you can only get at Gencon etc... One of the things I DONT like about STAW...
Just like wave 9, I choose to believe this is real.
So glad its a fake, that epic ship it pretty **** meh.
If real then how can I post in this thread?
Whilst I would love to see a fix for the StarViper, I don't think this would be the way to do it.
Personally I think we are going to see the Star Jewel with a Headhunter model, featuring a host of crew and amendments to boost both the Syck and Khiraxz as well as the Star Jewel Guard pilot.
We will soon have that barrel roll upgrade for small ships, I believe its in the ARC expansion, lets see if that fixes the Khirax.
Kihraxz fix, eh? I like the sound of that.
Just like wave 9, I choose to believe this is real.
Because, without any knowledge of the ship, it looks good.
Will have to give it a repaint though, unless that's not final product.
Edited by RhosaarcIf this is real (It does look fake to me) how long till we cant expect FFG says something official on the website?
To the people saying the Starviper was a poor choice for a companion ship, one of the biggest scum complaints I see is the fact that scum have no great arc dodging ace. Would it be easier to turn the Viper into that ace over a Kihraxz? The M3-A while absolutely needing a fix is probably never going to fill that bill. Just a thought I had.
I'm just so excited I don't care if real or fake.
I WANTED the Wild Karrde, but I'll settle for anything. Do you think a Starviper fix could also include an M3A boost somehow?
Its amazing...
I seem to remember a leaked image on the Armada forum a long time ago. Long before Wave III was announced, but after Wave II was previewed.
(I've been silently lurking for over a year)
This leak was a fake as it was meant to be an Interdictor, but looked like an Imperial Star Destroyer with four grey balls photoshopped into it to look legit.
Have to say I've never seen that image since.
Fortunately.
That looked horrendous.
But
Armada fans rejoice! The Interdictor has a cool model in Wave IV.
This, like that, might be a "not final product" preview for the usual business types to stare at while scratching their bums, sipping champagne and pretending they care about anything other than $$$$$$$$
looks pretty badly shopped
and didn't FFG confirm scum aces in the pipe on one of the developers' twitter feeds (viper, special-k, scyk)?

Same here, but I want Jabba's yacht... But I will take what they give.
It's likely fake. The bases are out of proportion, the angles look wrong and I'm pretty certain FFG wouldn't write "Superior Starviper." Billing it as outright better isn't something they do and they can spell StarViper.
Still, the ship choice is consistent. FFG likes sourcing from RTSes.
Edited by Blue FiveI'd rather not have to pay $100 to fix my starviper, so I'll put myself in the hope it's fake category.

I think they also mentioned Scum Epic being a bit of a gap on one of the podcasts iirc. So I guess it's all coming eventually!
Ok, so the 2nd fake leak is now more likely to be real OR someone is working real hard at fakes.
