So, we've got two Imperial and two Rebel huge ships and a Scum huge ship on the way next week.

What will the next huge ship be?

Imperial Light Cruiser? Too big?

Rebel Hammerhead Corvette?

Another Scum ship?

Maybe even a Nebulon because of the Space Rocks shut down?

I think a scum epic that is CR90/raider sized would be the next epic ship. I don't expect another one for a while though.

That was my initial thought too but does it make a lot of sense for scum to get a ship that large?

Maybe a box set of 2 transport-sized ships that function like bro-bots

My wish list in no particular order (for a total of 3 for each faction):

Rebel - Hammerhead corvette

S&V - Wild Karrde and Crusader class corvette

Imperial - "mid-sized" (10inch/25cm) Huge ship (?)

Balance-wise it would need to be another scum ship but the time is ripe for the Rebel Hammerhead.

Something Scummy I'm sure. That'll make all other epic ships obsolete (except the new Scummy ship coming in a few weeks).

I would say yes. There were several criminal factions with ships that large. Jabba's yacht was approximately CR90 sized. I realize getting the Star Jewel is a bit unlikely now that he is a crew card already but it's an example of one in the lore that was large enough. I'm sure pirates of other groups have had larger vessels. At one point in Legends, Black Sun had a fleet. Yes that immediate book is non canon now but Black Sun is still canon so they could draw from that.

Oh, I didn't know about Jabba's Yacht size. My bad lol

Are you going to really take every possible thread opportunity to inform the world about how much you hate scum ships?

CR90 and rebel transport are both pretty bad choices right now, with no scum epics on the market yet. Cannot blame scum for that.

Its going to be Scum. What else?

With a buff for Jumpmasters. Theyll get a title. -2 points and a free evade.

Imperial Escort Carrier. Probably way too big, but I want it. It'll probably be another...sigh... Gozanti type...

Death Star MkII

I just saw pics of the shut down Space Rocks Nebulon B! Would be awesome if FFG released one of those!!!!

FFG has stated they won't do an epic ship that's bigger than 150m. So the CR-90 and Raider are the biggest ships you'll see. That was said even with the sliding scale in place.

Hando's flying disc... or however you spell his name...

Sad. That Nebulon looked fantastic! Would have been great for some mission games!

Probably another Scum ship.

Hopefully the Star Jewel. But with Jabba coming out on the C-ROC, I'm not too hopeful.

It'll be a scum ship that's equivalent to the CR-90 and Raider. But, what I really want is a Hammerhead Corvette, which I'm sure will be next after the 2nd scum huge ship. Most likely, we're a couple years away from a Hammerhead but it would make sense to start the cycle over with it since the first huge ship was a Rebel ship.

So, historically, both a factions epic ended up dropping in the same year. GR-75 and CR-90 were both in 2014, Raider and Gozanti both hit in 2015 (though part of that seems to be a huge delay on the Raider).

So logically, it's the Scum 2-card ship to at least be announced. My hope is for the Minstrel (since it even appeared in canon) but you never know.

And before anybody wants to ***** and moan about Scum upgrades - it is actually possible to release an Epic without a small ship - Tantive IV flies solo. If all the scum small ships are now in order there's no reason not to just throw in just an Epic release.

Maybe one of those smaller star destroyers from Rebels? Forgive me for not remembering their name. Maybe they'd put a Tie Interceptor in there too, with a title that gives it white S-Loops and Tallon Rolls and another hull! It could be a three card ship, with fore, aft, and mizzen sections, with the fore and aft acting like a Raider but the mizzen carrying ships like a Gozanti!

... Well, that's what I'd like. Please tell FFG.

In the meantime, I'll still buy their two-card scum thing. Probably a weird scum CR-90 or something. *sigh*

Both Interdictor cruisers and Quasar Fire carriers are way too big for X-Wing, both if they've said they're not going over 150 meters and even with sliding scale.

EU length on an Immobilizer cruiser is 600 m, or 4 Raiders in length. I'm not sure how much you can squish that.

I think he was talking about an arquitens, which is quite a bit smaller, but still too large for x-wing.

Hammerhead!

If FFG continues with huge ships after the scum two card epic, I can see this becoming the next rebel huge base, with an ability made for ramming other huge ships

I just received the Hammerhead announcement for Armada so maybe they'll scale it up.

Yeah, the Hammerhead preview for Armada was today - I'm really interested to see them translate it to X-Wing now for instance.
