in case you haven't seen the new star wars comic, they have an interesting new ship...

Bit of a flying wing design and I can't tell from the scale maybe small or medium? I'd think it be interesting if they implemented a design for this ship by turning the ship base side ways (they would have to re-engineer the movement notches) and made is super maneuverable but a bit slow. We'll see if it makes it into the game.

I didn’t know Batman was a Mon Cal

Thank you for posting this. I love keeping up on all the "stuff" that gets added into the Galactic Civil War era, but I don't follow the comics or shows myself. So I appreciate when people do spread the news, so to speak.

As for the ship, it's at least a little more interesting than the Dornean Gunship as a potential new Rebel ship. And being an MC-XX, it would presumably be another candidate for the Mon Cala Exodus Fleet title.

Interesting! We'd certainly see more use of the Exodus / Seventh Fleet titles if they could be used on Small escort ships like this.

Should I recognise the other ship, top left?

Could be a fun small ship with a large and solid front arc and almost nothing else.

I think it would be difficult to implement that shape into a large/medium ship, so maybe a front-firing small? Although, looking at the main engines size relative to the ship size, it looks to be a medium.

I like the sideways base idea but skeptical about it happening.?

Rats, nerfed.

I actually think FFG should go the way of the raider and design their own ships. Another mon cal would be dull. They aren’t the only planet in the rebellion!

Either that or mine the EU, the Liberator class from the Rebellion/Supremacy PC game for example. Great boxy design.

And do a new XL size base ship for the empire as well ?

Look at the aft section on that MC80 though MM-HMMmM!

Whats the ship on the top left?

Possibly a Liberty?

That was my initial thought but it does not seem quite right

Possibly some artistic license

The back engines seem to flare out. It looks like a new design to me. Hopefully next issue we'll get a full look.

How big is it, though?

How long is it? It looks like it's quite short and wing-shaped, but I can also see it being angled almost directly away from the viewer, and so quite long - similar proportions to the Liberty.

Also... on the back of that MC80 Home One type, those windows don't look quite right. Are they suggesting the decks curve around at the back?

As it lacks any "window lights" I'm gonna' say small base for sure.

Could be medium and a combat oriented ship, so no windows.... I'm holding out hope would be nice to see another rebel medium.

Starhawk ?

Its so ugly...

True. Im open to having my mimd changed. I just dont like how it looks. I find the mix of angles and spherish shapes most appealing on mon cal ships. The profundity really set my standard, and the mc30 matches that design style. Id rather they reintroduce the 30. Personally!

At first look I thought it was in the background, but I see now it is in the foreground. (It is blocking some of the blue haze from the engines). So definitely small or flotilla. It could be the wing shape is functional, though that would bring up the question of how does the Millennium Falcon fly, or TIE fighters?

I hope the illustrator will show another view sometime in the future.

Maybe wave 12?. FFG won't turn the GCW into Empire vs Mon Cala.

That is a beautifully drawn spread that is awfully composed.

The ship in the top left is smushed into the frame and is at a separate angle from the other ships.

I digress though, this would make a potentially great ship for Armada.

He isn't, it's an elaborate ruse. Proof:

I think it is a beatiful ship and true to the Mon Cala design!
