Joe Boss Red Seven 11,291 Posted June 15, 2014 So we love the new Large Ships for Wave Five, and we have seen what FFG has done for the Alliance Huge Ships. I am calling the Imperial response, for fun, and because I think this is going to happen. We are likely going to get an Imperial Gozanti Cruiser for the GR-75 Transport equivalent. And an Imperial Vigil Corvette for the Tantive IV equivalent. These ships are doable in the same way that FFG did the Alliance Huge ships. What do you all think? 20 Sergovan, chilligan, Storme636 and 17 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thrawnshand 53 Posted June 15, 2014 The Empire definitely needs a V shaped vessel, and that fits the bill nicely. 4 Odanan, IronTau, Darthfish and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Castle 3,766 Posted June 15, 2014 I'll raise your guess by saying that the Gozanti will come with 2 Tie Fighter in the blueish grey from Empire Strike Back, like the bomber and Interceptor. It will be sold at the same price as the transport, since it is smaller but come with 2 ship. 6 Digitalkiller, GrandAdmiralCrunch, evanger and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That One Guy 2,242 Posted June 15, 2014 Of the two proposed by the OP, I'd guess the second one because it looks more iconic. Of the ships not proposed by OP, I'd say Imperial Escort Carrier. It's also got that wedge shape that makes people think Star Destroyer, and its inclusion in the Rebel Strike game gave it some notoriety. It also had a crapton of guns, and as someone who enjoys the destruction of all rebel scum, I'd enjoy that immensely. (Also, we could get a Commander Sarkli card. Reduce enemy pilot skill by 2, anyone?) 3 Joe Boss Red Seven, Vimnock and LeoHowler reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikael Hasselstein 6,896 Posted June 15, 2014 I guess I'm more partial to the Lancer, because of its RPG background and clear purpose as an anti-starfighter platform. That said, I also like the Gozanti and could learn to like the Vigil, despite its thin pedigree. 2 Joe Boss Red Seven and keroko reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Castle 3,766 Posted June 15, 2014 Well, the base set come with one X-Wing and 2 Tie Fighter. Since the transport come with an X-Wing and the Gozanti is shown with 2 Tie, you just add 1+1. ;P 2 Odanan and That One Guy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Boss Red Seven 11,291 Posted June 15, 2014 Bring 'em on boys. I have a brief history with the old video games, so your optional proposals may also be on the mark. I am going by hints and illusions I have seen on dozens of videos and my gut feelings based on the many forum postings I have read. FFG has shown us that they do listen to what we talk about...to some degree at least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Castle 3,766 Posted June 15, 2014 Tie Fighter is the fer-de-lance of the Empire and there is currently more Interceptor pilot than Tie Fighter. I'm sure they can come up wih something. Also, not every players is interested in Epic play so, by not making it a must buy, you keep those players happy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
player829067 107 Posted June 15, 2014 I like the Vigil I hope we do get a cool ship for the Imperial large. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iPeregrine 685 Posted June 15, 2014 I really don't know why anyone thinks that the Vigil is at all likely. It's a fan-made ship that happened to appear in the background of one picture in one book, and hasn't been used anywhere else. The fact that some random guy made a really nice model of it doesn't make it an important ship in the official universe. 4 Mikael Hasselstein, The Amazing Flight Lizard, Bipolar Potter and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corellian Corvette 1,733 Posted June 15, 2014 Sure when I make huge ship threads, I pour in hours into researching vessels and finding high quality images, and maybe get 17 posts over a week. Apparently all I need is a flashy title, 2 pictures, and a few sentences to become a hit on the forums. What was I thinking!?! 3 J43G3RM31ST3R, NobleHawk and Punning Pundit reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jagd 23 Posted June 15, 2014 The lancer would be nice, but it us way too big if I remember correctly. About twice the size of the CR-90...it would be unplayable because of it's size... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
