I'm in the same boat. I have 8 ints and 3 of 'em already with bloodstripes. I figure I'll want 4 of these expansions. 16 ints? Good grief.

It's worth pointing out that the latest article says this wave includes "the first starship from the Star Wars expanded universe". I think it's a safe bet we'll see plenty of EU going forwad. I'd be all over a TIE Phantom. They were great in EAW, and the design is in keeping with the typical Imperial navy scheme while having some distinction. Some stealth abilities might be slick in this game, too.

It's worth considering that plenty of the EU material used in this game already is taken from the PC games; X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and Galaxies. I wouldn't write the Assault Gunboat off just yet.

"I grow tired of asking this, so it will be the last time: Where is the Rebel Case?"

I hope we never see the Lady Luck. That is one of the worst ship designs ever. It's like the Star Wars equivalent of the Oscar Mayer weinermobile.

F4U is one of my favorites but I'm not sure it quite beats the P-51 in speed. I think the P-51 had the edge there; even breaking the sound barrier in a power dive (although the results were catastrophic).

Battlefoam PACK 216 and random other solutions including a Pelican hardcase for temporary storage. Will be adding a PACK Plus as soon as possible. Thinking of going to pluck foam instead of custom, so that I have some future flexibility.

I love the way these are shaded, how the contrast pops out on the TIEs and Slave I. You know any good video tutorials that would give me a clue to that method? Well, they look incredible, and I appreciate the breakdown. I'll see what I can do.

I'm dyin' to see this.

I love your signature. What a great series of games.

Star Wars Rebels is going to blur the era-lines even further.

I would love to see a StarViper in this one. I think Clone Wars should be a separate game.

I think the details on Wookieepedia were taken from the roleplaying sourcebook where the Crow was used as a setting. Since official dimensions likely didn't exist at that point, they took certain liberties. But based on the Crow's actual in-game appearance, the roleplaying game was way, way off. When it appeared as designed (that is, in the games it was designed for), it carried a crew of two and was only slightly longer than a Y-Wing. FFG got it right in this case.

Simply owning the ships.

Yeah I remember seeing 40-something meters somewhere. I'd have thought it was no bigger than the Falcon.

Lots of potential here. I really like what you've done to bring it together. I can't comment as to the balance or points, but thematically it sounds incredible.

I pointed out in another thread the Gozanti lookalikes above would make a great cap ship for FFG to introduce. I think the chance of that is about zero, so go nuts. PLEASE MAKE THE GHOST FIRST. It is probably my favorite new ship since the Venator and BTL-B Y-Wing. Or perhaps make two Ghosts and consider selling one... ¬.¬ [to me]

Nailed it.

There's a store in Reedsburg that has stock of all Wave 1 and 2, if you're interested in driving for a bit. I'm 50 miles north of there.

Certainly no bias there. No, yeah. He's pretty level.

Stardestroyer.net makes a fairly convincing argument in terms of which fiction has superior military technology. Star Wars is the clear victor in most respects, and a lot of [on-screen] data would have to be ignored to claim otherwise. I enjoy both franchises, though.

I know for sure that I have almost zero interest in a scaled Star Destroyer. The mostly-accurate scale of this game is one of the biggest reasons that I'm still dumping money into this thing. I'm not going to be able to afford a car-sized destroyer, though, and I can't imagine a scale flub that won't make the thing seem like an idiotic addition. I don't claim to have any certainty one way or another, but I hope that everyone so sure the ISD is coming is completely wrong.

Has anyone considered that this would be a great opportunity for FFG to actually introduce a new EU ship for the Empire? Isn't that the exact nature of the EU? I know there's no indication that it would happen, and I know there'd be red tape with LFL. But look at something like Ansel Hsiao's (Fractalsponge) designs getting rolled into the EGtW. And FFG entry to EU could benefit both this game (bypassing the Star Destroyer issue entirely) and the EU itself; introducing "quality" fluff that could even be used by other projects. I'm always open to new ship designs that borrow the aesthetic from OT. Vigil-class corvette is an awesome example. Something along those lines that was a little smaller and had better scale-indicating visual cues would be perfect. In addition to a new class of Imperial corvette, it wouldn't be unreasonable to introduce a new starfighter or two further down the road.

You lost me on that. I have a feeling that I just don't know the reference. S-Mart is from Army of Darkness. Another Bruce Campbell reference.
