I would like to see support for Epic in the form of Epic game night kits that are not tournament-oriented but just include participation prizes or something.

Epic 'support' is probably more significant than commonly thought. Every wave has upgrades and ships that don't seem to work well. But that only takes standard play into account. In epic play, these might be good or even more powerful. Etahn, ion torpedoes, possibly Bodhi Rook crew. How good is Bistan on a CR-90? Esege next to it?

It's odd that on the one hand cards are easily dismissed but not considered for epic. I don't think the design philosophy is like that. The support for epic appears to be there.

When I saw Bodhi's pilot trait I thought well I see some epic love coming soon.

Just in time as Armada is currently on my never go near until I see some real fixes done to it's rules problems. Also maybe some grown ups playing it because I am sick of the man children playing it on their forum. You can't even offer the politest of criticism without being labeled a troll. Great way to show how secure you feel about the games current state. No wonder several shops I go to have boxes of their tournament supplies collecting dust and are starting epic xwing instead of CC armada events. Sorry venting but yeah a lot of things become great and some become not so great in epic.

Whats wrong with Armada?

Looks pretty though:

It certainly does

...and as we all know, looking pretty is half the battle.

(the other half is rule of cool, so that box is ticked as well).

I think the Hammerhead for the Rebels is pretty much a given at this point. Scum could quite easily see get the Action IV, the Minstrel-class or the Sorosuub Yacht.

I feel like Scum getting a 2-card Epic is an inevitability, and there's a possibility that the Rebels might get a Hammerhead in the future, which would probably mean more ships for the other factions as well.

I hope they do a Wild Karde

Oh no, it looks like a suit-case or a tool-box, and not a cool space-ship. I am very pleased they went with the C-ROC, instead of that (IHMO) monstrosity.

it seems one epic cruiser a year is the limit.

Weren't the Raider & the Gozanti released within 6 or so months of one another? Raider Mid-Year & the Gozanti just before Xmas?

I really enjoy Epic, but don't get to play it any where near enough. My only real issue is that the fleet building is way too loose. 140pts of Huge ship is no match for the same points in Small ships, especially high agility ones. If you field a few Huge ships & your opponent doesn't, it can get real one sided fast.

I'd like to see a more formal structure for Epic list building, where perhaps Epic points were not an option maximum, but perhaps a minimum? And maybe a ratio of Small & large ships to be included or something.

As it is now it's too open to make for a fair game in my view.

Did Rebels or Disney make it so the Hammer Head was a new ship or is it still an Old Republic ship?

I think I said this in another thread, but to me it looked like someone made a tote case out of a Gundam foot.

Whilst it is fun, I think that Epic will remain a niche compared to the standard format.

Epic is NOT a niche. . .lots of people play it in preference to Standard, and several notables on these boards play it to the exclusion of 100/6.

eventually scum will get a duo card epic ship. But i doubt we'd get anything beyond that. The Nebulon and Aqruitens could be added but i think theyre a bit large. Nebs are tall as hell though so that could be an issue lol

I would like to see a "3-base" Huge ship at some point. I think it could still work on a 3x6 play area.

That's one reason I love Epic so much. So many pilots and ships become good when they aren't so great in Standard. Also, some things that were very strong get busted down sometimes. Soontir Fel and Fat Han really get their teeth kicked in. Fel takes too many attacks to survive most of the time, and two Single Turbolasers or a Turbolaser and an Ion Battery will show Han the Dark Side. It's not every day you get to see a Falcon killed early in the second round of firing.

Also Epic becomes Flight of the Generics!

Totally agree. I haven't flown Fel since I figured out that the "best" pilot in X-Wing was doomed in Epic play. And I really love that generics shine in Epic; I just wish that Squad Building could be a thing (like, if I field Red Squadron, all the Red pilots help each other out or have some sort of synergy).

I would bet good money that the first faction to get a third Epic ship is Rebels with a Hammerhead Corvette at equivalent size to the Tantive IV.

It would have special rules for ramming maneuvers and include crew cards for Jun Sato, Asokha Tano and other important Rebels characters missing a card as well as a Phoenix Squadron A-Wing escort featuring a new title and the ability to fly any of the appropriate characters (coughsabineheracough) in the cockpit.

I like this idea - but I wouldn't expect it for a couple years. Scum needs their large cruiser... or second small cruiser (and deny scum a big ship!?) before Rebels get a third... and it seems one epic cruiser a year is the limit.

Agreed. . .but if they keep up the rotation, the Rebels will be due for another Huge ship. I would love to see the Hammerhead in the game as well!! I also think that something like the Corellian Gunship would make a great all-faction Huge ship, which would give all sides a new option at once.

Whats wrong with Armada?

It's a totally different game. Armada is capital ship fleet battles with fighter support. X-Wing is dogfights with capital ship support.

Did Rebels or Disney make it so the Hammer Head was a new ship or is it still an Old Republic ship?

The Hammer Head is introduced for Rebels. I think it is supposed to be a new ship that was not extant during the time of the Clone Wars.

I keep hearing about this Wild Karde thing, so I finally looked it up to see why everyone wants it.

This thing looks hideous and stupid. It looks like someone made a tote case out of a Gundam foot. Why would you want this? Why would anyone want this?

The trunk of their car might be full of dirt

Like I said: Good money on the table.

This would be ... EPIC!

I want FFG OP to sponsor and/or support an Epic Tournament. Could be at national, or worlds, or part of that new systems open format.

Make it Happen FFG!

You mean prize support like this?

GenCon 2016 Epic tournament. It was awesome. I prefer Team Covenant's huge ship maneuver template, but I'm holding onto this one for bragging rights. And the acrylic energy tokens are SWEET!

I'm super bummed that there is an epic tournament this weekend, but I'm already spoken for that day. Maybe next time!

Cool, by the way do you know what the winning list or the top 4 was for that tournament? We would like to know.

Not too hot about tournament support, X-Wing days are long as they are, but general event support would be nice. Like the seasonal kits, maybe try one a year for starters.
