TRC Alternate Art Card Ship?

By CaribbeanNinja, in Star Wars: Armada

Anybody out there have any idea what ship that is?

It doesn't look familiar to me.

It's a Raider. The same kind of turrets are shown on the X-wing scale ship.

Raider

Really? That angle seems so wide to be a Raider.

Also...not that it matters...but why put a Raider on a TRC card?

Same reason a DP20- is on the Slaved Turrets Card.

No-one really cares.

Oh we care...

Me and Titus Lunter.

We care...

No one Important Cares, then.

More correct? :D

Jesting - but its just that, art has to be "somewhat appropriate", rather than "designated signatory" of the system being shown.

So as long as the Image has an image of Turbolasers, then its appropriate - even if the card itself is technically incorrect - it just has to look appropriate.

Which is why we see Turbolaser reroutes on a ship that can't take them in game - because it looks like it would be appropriate. With art work being reused between the multiple games systems, there's a certain point when the decision makers don't look for specifics, they just want something somewhat appropriate.

My favourite art is still the full art-predator card... Mostly because, y'know, Rebel CIS ships (and the back end of a rebel venator)

The reason I ask (and care) is SOMEBODY pointed out the Quasar class over in the Article Predictions thread that SOMEBODY created. :)

At the Tourney yesterday when we got them, we all thought it could be this guy:

It may not be, but I'm still not convinced those angles work on the front of the Raider.

Huh, looked more like the Arq to me on seeing it. I can see the Raider style turrets now though.

Yep it's a raider.

It's the Raider.

Because now even FFG is getting in on the joke. (No lie, if raiders had red instead of blue and had a turbolaser spot instead of an ion I'd probably fly them.)

Very clearly a raider. Seen from a point amidships of the port side, facing the bow.

I personally think it's a CR90.

Ya know just to pour some napalm on the 'card art being used to predict future releases' fire. It could be that at some point we're going to get III and IV variants on select ships where certain upgrades can be used.

IE: a Raider III that can take turbolaser upgrades.

For the rest of us: Rule of Cool, it looks awesome so they did it.

Actually thought it looks like the front of a vsd, but the panel seams do resemble a raider.

Having painted several just recently, put me in the "I think it's a Raider." camp.

I'm certain with so many of you thinking it is the raider that you are right. However I must be thinking it is the wrong part of the ship or something. My raiders are A LOT thinner than the almost right triangle coming from what I see as the front of a ship firing on the art

Oh well. It is really no big deal anyhow. ?

The X-Wing Raider fits it much better.

Check the guns.

Raider. Seen from a weird angle on the left side facing the front.

definitely a CR90

Looks about as correct as a Raider to me @Caldias:)

Possible slow day at work today...there will be Photoshop magic on this...
