This does make me wonder if we're going to see card packs one day with additional titles for huge ships.

Agh

Title brings flashbacks of uncanny cgi leia!

If this covers all of the reveals, then I'm very surprised that there are no Republic-only upgrades. You'd think they could at least get some titles.

EDIT: Every time I destroy someone using a CR90 equipped with the Thunderstrike title, I'm going to have to pull out my phone, announce "You've been... THUNDERSTRUCK" and play the AC/DC song.

Who needs republic-only upgrades when you got Cody triggering like a madman?

Have it playing on your phone on repeat and keep gradually flicking the volume up a notch over the course of the game.

I’m looking forward to finally putting an epic ship on the table. They look fun. Is there a write-up of 2.0 huge ship rules anywhere yet?

Yeah same, as a Republic player I'll probably skip purchasing the ship unless we get some dedicated cards. 5 Ship titles for Rebels and nothing for Republic?

Experimental Scanners from the E-Wing : You can acquire locks beyond range 3. You cannot acquire locks at range 1.

Toryn Farr and Sensor Experts : Hold my beer !

Anyone else think it's kinda weird that Toryn Farr and General Rieekan come in the Corvette?

Sort of implies they won't be in the GR-75 where they make more sense.

Not the end of the world, but it makes me about as sad as Vader crew coming in the Decimator and not the Lambda.

As the Assault Carrier and GR-75 are probably going to be Epic Wave 2, do we think they might include cards not in the conversion kit? Or should we expect the same rules we get with the smaller bases where converted 1e ships don't come with new content?

Either way, 2e Toryn Farr is every bit as good as I hoped.

It surprised me that it was so Rebel heavy I wonder if that will hold true for the other epic ships.

Guessing it’ll be like the smaller ships in that if the model was ever in 1.0, the 2.0 release won’t have anything not found in the kit.

Looking through the conversion kit contents I’m thinking the Republic and Separatists are going to be a little lite on faction specific upgrades to begin.

Dumb, most likely useless combo, but amusing to consider:

Equip huge ship with Comms Team, and Boosted Scanners.

Include three U-Wings, preferably with a Tactical Officer on-board each, flying within range 1 of each other, and range 5 of the huge ship.

A three fighter wing at range 2 from the U-Wings.

After all the smaller ships are in position, coordinate from the huge ship, using Boosted Scanners to up the range to 5, and Comms Team to coordinate all three U-Wings. With the bonus action, the U-Wings all do a coordinate to each of the three fighters in the wing. One action gets three fighters double-mods!

I mean, you're using up most of your energy and a significant chunk of your squad list in order to pull this off, but you could end up coordinating ships halfway across the table this way! 😁

Fel's wrath was not Deathfire, but Captain Antilles!

Hmmm... Coming from a S&V perspective ( obviously... ) and reviewing the Lock rules, this combo works to open up the maneuver lanes and firing fields for the C-ROC since acquiring a Lock still counts as Locking (performing the actions themselves isn't specified in Boosted Scanners), if C-ROCs get the team slot that is (they have the new upgrades listed in their product page, but that is sadly not a guarantee) :

Btw guys Raymus basically allows your range 0-1 ships to carry focus tokens into the next round after the huge ship is destroyed.

It's the same ruling timing for Tavson + E baffle.

This article really killed my buzz for this ship, as a Republic player.

I understand how this could be frustating. The contents of the expansion packs and the conversion kit were already known information, though.

Was it clear though that all of the upgrades were Rebel only? After all, the Tantive IV was in service during the Clone Wars.

Well, all the card images for commanders and titles had Rebel and huge ship only on them. Only the generic crew and such weren’t faction locked. And the expansion only includes five titles which were all shown.

I see. Well, I guess I just delayed my disappointment. Might save myself $80-100 now though!

On Death Abilities!!!!
