So, we know Epic will now be a multiplayer format allowing up to eight players and include the use of Huge ships. I'm curious about the format of these eight players. Will the games be four vs four or will it be eight players in a cooperative format similar to Heroes of the Aturi Cluster? Or both?

FFG teased this and many other things to come for X-Wing which means a LOT of articles. I'm wondering when those articles will start dropping? Surely we won't have to wait till GenCon for the full announcement of everything with articles dropping after.

I'd wager that Epic will still be one SIDE vs another SIDE, so effectively, teams.

Armada recently opened up a new multiplayer format that works along those lines.

I'm actually hoping for BOTH formats. I'd love to go head to head with teams but it'd also be a blast to run some cooperative events with an App driven AI. Got my fingers crossed.

I hope it’s mission based and not point based death match. Probably the only thing that would tempt me to purchase the conversion.

True Team Epic @Arma Quattro ? Looking forward to this!

I just want to know if they're actually re-printing ALL epic ships or only those 3 they showed in that image.

I suppose you missed this then Crabbok? A guy from FFG came on reddit and answered a few questions. Basically, all 5 ships out now will be converted to the 7 factions, but for the initial print run just the 3 ships shown will get reprinted in 2.0. Speculation is that the other 2 will come later.

Thanks, yeah I did miss alot of things. Literally there was too much news this past week between all the film stuff, gaming stuff, and celebration keeping me intensely busy. Thanks!

OMG YES.

Can't wait to gather some more news about this.

I’m betting the multiplayer will be variations of team play. I’m less interested in that since it’s less likely to be true multiple players for each their own purposes of goals.

What I am interested in though is the actual missions and how thematic they’ll get. And if there’s a campaign to link them all.

I hope there is a proper campaign. I would like to do more than death match/point win dogfights.

I hope we get the Charger C70 for the Republic...

The C70 seems like a natural choice for the Republic

That is beautiful.

I'd hope that the Republic gets this as the refit model used in the Clone Wars, and not the Big Red version as seen in the Phantom Menace...

If the Republic only gets the red one, you only need a coat of paint and Shapeway for conversion kits
