Maybe they never fly, and we only ever see them blow up in the hangar bay?

The Question on whether a Space Ship can "Fly" is exactly as interesting as whether a Submarine can really Swim.

a week or two back, I think Pajiba had an article that was basically "are fish wet?" Which SOUNDS like a dumb answer, but wet only really exists as the opposite of dry. Fish CONSTANTLY being in water and all, do they have the same concept or does it only matter if/when they come out into the air and all.

Except "to fly" has two slightly differing definitions based on context, namely:

1. to fly with wings through the air

2. the launch or propel an object

Thus, the spaceship is flying (2, not 1)

And "to swim" is:

1) propel the body through water by using the limbs, or (in the case of a fish or other aquatic animal) by using fins, tail, or other bodily movement.

2) be immersed in or covered with liquid.

Thus a sub is swimming (2 not 1).

And wet is: covered or saturated with water or another liquid.

Therefore fish are wet, whether they consider themselves so or not.

Soooo you are finding rubbish definitions and are satisfied? Dont get a career in research, you've failed all the basics.

Sorry, did we forget to reference?

You are happy that a childish definition is appropriate to the question?

This proves my point. You found ONE definition that worked and proceeded to IGNORE the source or think logically about whether the definition could be applicable.

Its a failure to think. We have cognitive ability for a reason. Google could have written your answer, that doesnt mean its correct.

It was a continuation of a joke, in depth research was not required.

I know. He is still wrong though

Since when did a thread about plastic spaceships because about in depth research? We were joking. Chill out.

I don't see why you're trying to jump on this like you are.

Maybe they don't want to make new models? Here is a picture of the toy models put out for the original A-Wing, Rebels version, and new Resistance version:

maybe they just aren't different enough? Or maybe they will put out a special box with the Rebels version as a cheap Z-95 analog, and the Resistance version as a more advanced version like the T-70?

Edit: I pulled the image from this unboxing video where you can see more differences between the 3:

At least for Armada, the question is, is there enough difference in scale, too... I feel that holds the TIE/sf back

True. Same with the T-70. Plus the wings could be fragile.

I mean, don't get me wrong - its certainly possible to have distinctive models... Mel really shows you can, and his stuff is beautiful.

But we also have to keep in mind that Mel's stuff is individually ordered and 3D Printed / Laser Sintered. Its not limited in the media of Steel-Mould Plastic Casting mass-production.

But as it is, I'm still looking to get a proper set of Gunboats to be my TIE Bomber Uniques.

It might explain why the Empire has a 2nd commander if they both have 2 commanders. Also the MC-75 might have a pair of those resistance bombers to go against the mando fighters.

There are no squadrons in the Spanish leak

That was written before the Spanish leak.

I wonder if FFG wouldn't consider issuing an alternate squadron card, without new models attached. Could come bundled with a Resurgent-Class, for example.

It would feel very half-assed without at least squadron discs... And then, how many do you need to replace all of your TIE Fighters?

I mean, without Discs, without some determining feature - you wouldn't be able to mix TIE/Ln and TIE/SF in one force, and restricting choice like that is bad juju.

I'm pretty sure that if they did new cards, they would do new cardboard dials as well, just like in CC.

Okay, so then, what is the medium of delivery then, so to speak... Campaign box? New Ship? Veteran Squadron pack? We know we're not just going to get card and paper unless it's a CC style campaign, and that was enough to balance the forces is one fighter Pack on each side

If/when we get sequel ships, I can see them packaged in there.

Epic scale , especially seems like a good possibility, to sweeten the pot for those on the fence. ( Though this will only increase the complainers posting that FFG is "Forcing" them to buy things they don't want or need.)

A second campaign is more likely to provide additional cards/cardboard for civil war era, unless it was packaged as a "Rise of the First Order", where the players are only able to add FO/Resistance ships and squadrons after the first round of battles.

For me a new core set seems unlikely, as there are currently no analogous ships to the VSD, Neb B & CR90 seen on screen in the sequels. Honestly, with the size of the new FO/Resistance ships, I can see both the Radius/Finalizer being packaged individually with Squadrons as single faction core sets, starting at around $60-70, before they would do both in a $120-140 sequel core.
