I'm 99% sure Star Destroyer will be the Imp capital ship.

What about an Imperial Customs Corvette?? That way I wont have to scratch build it.

I like this picture of it better than others I have seen. And, it's not just because of the freighter docked in it. It's amore about the width of the arms and the overall proportions. It's listed at 180 meters (on wookiepedia, fwiw), though. It would be longer than the Tantive IV.

In regards to scale, since space is huge and you have every direction to work with, could you not just say that out of scale ships are just further away?

I really want IMP ships going forward like the CR-90. I think it would add fun to the game and allow for some really great battles. I don't care that they fudged the scale for the CR-90. It looks big compared to the other ships and creates a massive footprint on the table that I think will be fine. Really looking forward to purchasing one (insert wife eye-rolling here).

The IMP big ships have to be similiar in role and size for it to work. Just scaling down an SD to the CR-90 size would be a terrible idea. It would ruin the feel of the battles in my humble opinion.

FFG, just find an IMP frigate, similiar to the CR-90 in role and size and run with it. That will bring balance to game (and the force) and will be great fun. It will also sell like raw cookie dough at fat camp (IYKWIMAITTYD).

Messing with the scale at the edges (10-20%) for the sake of adding new ships and gameplay options is great. Completing ignoring scale (90%) to put out an "well-known" vessel and throwing the game completely out of whack is crazy.

Star Destroyer's are iconic because they are AWESOMELY HUGE SHIPS WITH THE ARMAMANT TO "DESTROY STARS" (see what I did there). Pairing one down to the scale of a CR-90 is insulting.

PS. Love the game.

PSS Hound's Tooth. Wave 4. Make it happen. No arguments.

That is all. Return to your stations.

Vigil class FTW :rolleyes:

Here's what I think they'll do:

1) release Star Destroyers slightly larger than corvettes, triggering a ton of nerdrage but also sell them well

2) provide new square chits for the small ship bases so that they now represent squadrons of that type instead of an individual ship

3) you now have big ships roaming around, as well as flights of fighters that are represented by a larger-than-needs-to-be-figure

I just don't see this happening. Even if they scale it down, they'd have to reduce its fire-power significantly in order for it to be any where near playable. I think they'll come up with something else. Something a lot closer In size to the Tantive IV.

As long as they don't do what WK did in Attack Wing where they made the TOS Enterprise much smaller than the Reliant and most of the other vessels.
