So the Starfighter assault mission has a cool new corvette/light cruiser sized ship for the resistance.

Kind of like a love child between a hammerhead and CR90. Looks sexy.

New Mon Cal cruiser looks awesome too

Nah looks closer to a Starcraft battlecrusier

This mission is so much fun as the resistance. I love the new corvette, good to see new designs.

It can't be a Corvette.

Keep in mind the Raddus is 3 km (3000 meters) long so any ship next to it is a lot larger then they would seem.

The Corvette is probably bigger then a Nebulon-B Frigate.

In game it's a little smaller than an aquittens class...

Yup, was going to say.

That's the "Ninka". Or, at least, a ship in that class.

Not the Corellian CR-90 Corvette, i'm referring to the new Resistance ship the OP calls a Corvette.

So am I.

The Ninka. In game they're roughly the same size or even a little smaller than the arquittens class.

I guess I could see that.

I was going off of it as seen here which makes it appear much larger, probably due to perspective then.

Yeah, it's a little hard to tell next to big set pieces but from 3rd person it's easy to compare the relative size of a fighter to the ship. Here's a guy making a pass at an arquittens online watch that and then look at the Ninka as the OP passes them in the video he posted. It's definitely smaller.

You guys know EA charges you a micro transaction every time you post a video with Battlefront 2 in it, right?

You seem to have taken my sarcastic comment to heart, which warms my own greatly.

Mmmm, internet.

You mean like your post, being mad at people being mad? ?

More like laughing at people being mad.

Is this forum always so dry? Feels like a lot of people here take themselves and the things they like far too seriously.

I'm just over the literal sheep mentality when it comes to ******** on Battlefront II.

"A guy on the internet said some stuff that may or may not even be true so EA is the devil and the game is awful. I'm going to go be a snide sarcastic ***** about it online, that makes me cool". <- Literally every person who snarks about micropays.

Meanwhile, it's one of the best Star Wars games to release in the last decade, solid mechanics, great online balancing, amazing graphics, and a single player mode that will keep expanding.

So **** it, I guess let's all just hop on the "I'm an internet troll haha EA is dumb" bandwagon.

But what if you’re enjoying it because people currently can’t pay to win?

You did mention balanced online play...

Because the stat bonuses don't matter. Play the objective, you do fine. ****, just fly around and shoot stuff, you'll do fine. You may not always win, but the game is FUN. I've been in matches with people who have maxed cards. The bonus is so insignificant.

"Oh look, he has 10% damage boost on his missiles, Gee, I sure hope the base stats for missiles don't already auto kill a base fighter... what will i do if he overkills me?"

Dude, you look fat in that picture

Guys! This is OP Speaking (read god)!!!!!

Take that discussion to the off topic subforum.

This topic is about OOOOHHH SHINY NEW CAPITAL SHIPS!!!!!

*A Wild Anti-Capitalist appears*

Darth Sanguis, I wish to impart sympathy and/or empathy to the plight of the working consumer. Microtranaction lootbox systems are anti-consumer in their ability to decrease the buying power of the consumer. P2W forces even more burden if they seek to find enjoyment from thier game. Battlefront was P2W preadjustments. Boba Fett had access to a star card making him invulnerable durring one of his abilities.

On-topic: The additonal points of view on a starship some of us saw from differnt trend gives me intrest in its future inclusion in Star Wars: Armada.

The Ninka is a 'Free Virgillia' class bombardment (bunkerbuster) corvette constructed by CEC, measures in at 316m roughly twice the size of a CR-90.

At 316m, it is longer (slightly) than a Nebulon B...

but very slightly shorter than a 325m Arquitens. I think sizes are upscaled a bit compared to the OT-era - ST-era corvettes and ST-era frigates (the Nebulon-C, the cargo frigate) are bigger than their OT counterparts. Similar things happened in real life - WW1 warships compared to WW2 warships in a similar "role".
