I don't even have to say anything, we've got medium bases on the Slave I and U-Wing! It's finally happening!
Medium bases confirmed!
Yeah. The articles say 4 scum mediums. The punisher for imps. And the u-wing and k-wing (and arc?) for rebels.

In addition to the other changes, X-Wing Second Edition converts several ships from small bases to medium bases. Medium-base ships are a new addition to X-Wing Second Edition , filling the space between small-base and large-base ships. For Scum and Villainy, the G1-A Starfighter, M12-L Kimogila Fighter, and Scurrg H-6 Bomber have all been converted to medium-based ships for second edition. In addition to its cards and punchboard, the Scum and Villainy Conversion Kit supplies the bases and conversion pegs you need to bring these ships into the second edition.
In the game's second edition, the BTL-S8 K-wing and ARC-170 have been converted to medium-base ships—a new size of ship base between small and large bases. The Rebel Alliance Conversion Kit also contains all the bases and pegs that you'll need to bring the first edition versions of these ships into the second edition.
Additionally, in the game's second edition, the Empire’s TIE/ca Punisher has been reclassified as a medium-base ship—a new size of ship base filling the space between small-base and large-base ships.
Man I'm happy to see this. This was just the variety we needed... But then, here's my real question.
What base size is The Ghost?

More than likely still Large.

Maybe. Maaaaybe... Because that thing is a real, real special case.

I mean, the only other option is like an epic/pseudo-epic style sort of base, or somehow moving down to a medium base, but I don't see those happening.
They will likely be the trickiest bases to fly, at least initially, as you have have to use a 1.5 size base for calculating distances, rule of 11, and so on. Will work differently than small and large.

They haven’t mentioned adding an extra large base size, so almost certainly still just large.

Hopefully compensated by the ships being real good
The 2.0 feroph whatshisface looks great
The team covenant play video has U-wing and Reaper on medium bases, really cool to see. The wings on the U-Wing still get in the way though.
Edit: also the 90 or 180 degree pivot from the U-Wing with pivot wings seems really cool.
Edited by mdl0114I would think the Tie Silencer would also be medium based, right?
