Ironically, given your thoughts about the Minstrel and the correct point about not needing to release a small ship with an Epic ship, the Minstrel would be a great opportunity for FFG to refresh the Z-95.

The Z-95 isn't in a bad space, per se. Certainly no worse than any other 2 attack ship. But it was released in Wave 4, and hasn't had any new toys since then. I mean, yes, it did get new pilots in the Most Wanted pack, but the actual frame itself has the same options that the Z-95 had at launch. If they wanted to update the ship, this would be an opportunity.

The other Interesting thing that could be done with a Minstrel would be a kind of upgrade that would allow Huge ships to spend energy to repair/rearm friendly small ships.

If FFG is saying 150m is their upper limit, however, I think the Minstrel is a touch too big. But I do like the way it looks, so I won't be upset to be wrong. :)

I hope they could stretch it to 180m, so we could get Crusade-class Corvette!

I can think only three more ships with Scum that might benefit from refreshment, Z-95 one of my favorite ships way back, always been fun to fly them, Y-Wing would be great to get updated for Scum and Rebels, and HWK-290 is also one ship that I would like to get updated, it is down in that list just because it has great pilots at the moment, Palob is excellent, Dace Bonearm used to be better, now kinda meh, still good ability and Torkil Mix has excellent ability as well, so if I could choose I would get Z-95 out of these three ships.

Give some Scum love to Z-95's!! :wub:

See, I look at that picture and it looks like the hammerhead is much further away than the cr90. And the second HH, off on the right, is obviously a lot farther away but doesn't look that much smaller.

Eh. Wookieepedia doesn't have a length for it. I guess we'll have a better idea once the Armada ship comes out and we can compare it to the CR90 in person. That model had to get approved by LF.

Perspective fool's the eyes easily!

I'm pretty sure it's impossible for the Raider to be "a bit big" for X-Wing, it was explicitly made for the game by FFG (with help from LFL). It's just now a bit large (or very small out of scale) because LFL after the Disney buy altered the official size of the CR90 to 120 meters for consistency.
