In the end, we decided these ships were simply too iconic and exciting to ignore, and we invented a new “relative” scale...

Okay, no. FFG, you did not "invent" "relative scale." "Relative scale has been around for more than a decade. You USED a "relative scale system" already in place. Wizards of the Coast used the same thing and made the same claim, that they "invented" it. Of course, you wouldn't have needed it at all if you had listened to me when I told you at the demo in 2009 before the game was actually made that your fighters are too large to make the capital ships in scale. Of course you said then that you weren't going to make caps at all, so I'm at least glad to see you had a change of heart about that. But let's try to be honest and accurate before claiming inventions.

You sound so upset. How can a fan be so angry? Inconceivable!

jeez dude, finger sore from all that pointing?

is this what happens when a wookie gets angry?

I guess they "invented" the particular relative scale they used? Honestly I'm more sick of the word 'iconic.' I'd rather be lectured about all about paradigm shifts and synergy for an hour. Hell, tell me about Web 2.0 while you're at it.

It's anger on the internets, folks. Nothing new to see here.

You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, darn you! Gosh darn you all to heck!... ...spoilers!!!

It helps if you read all the words in the sentence, as in the word NEW in front of relative scale. They didn't claim to invent relative scale, they said they invented a NEW relative scale to be used with the X-Wing system. Someone seems a bit bitter that the game designers didn't include him in their decision making process
