RepCommando 129 Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) I got curious the other day at work and did some calculations and had a good laugh about what I realized. I would say that every Imperial player dreams of the day of piloting an Imperial Star Destroyer in X-Wing, but even using epic ship scaling (1/350), a fully-realized ISD would come in at an amazing 14~feet long. Staring at my T-65 in comparison, it really does give it an amazing visualization about just how much larger an ISD is than a fighter. Of course, then I had to know and did the calculations for a Super-class Star Destroyer, which at the same scaling would come in at a whopping 177 feet. Nearly two-thirds of a football field. To think that Arvel Kyrnyd nearly brought down such a large ship by himself is absolutely amazing. I guess this is the reason we'll never see these iconic juggernauts on anything but an Armada table.

Zeoinx 1,148 Posted November 6, 2016 New Goal for FFG, send us plane tickets and rent out the super bowl stadium to create the ENTIRE Battle of Endor in X-Wing as a promotional event for its playerbase to show them how much they love us. They could even build a giant promotional SSD and a Home One, for the battle. Please please please please.... Ahhh to dream is so fun lol 6 Darth Meanie, RepCommando, Punning Pundit and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oberron 626 Posted November 6, 2016 Super armada with SSD when? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xanderf 6,395 Posted November 6, 2016 Super armada with SSD when? Armada is a 'sliding scale' - as long as ships look comparatively "close enough" against each other, it's in. IE., a 'beach ball'-sized Death Star? Sure. X-Wing-CR-90-length-Super-Star-Destroyer? I bet someday! (Okay, maybe they'll push it a bit longer than that - but given the 'sliding scale', it'd be crazy to imagine they aren't at least thinking about it...) 1 knavelead reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeoinx 1,148 Posted November 6, 2016 Remind me to bring a beach ball to the next game store when they are playing armada, I can slam it on the table and yell I WIN.... and print up a death star card to prove it. Just gotta make sure they arnt fielding a Luke Skywalker, Wedge Antillies and M. Falcon on the field and I should be fine..... 1 Punning Pundit reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They'll even be able to add Biggs when the conflict box arrives, too... 1 Punning Pundit reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Punning Pundit 4,695 Posted November 6, 2016 I'm pretty sure that Armada exists as a game because the CEO of FFG desperately wanted a Star Destroyer toy, but didn't want to sacrifice the gameplay of X-Wing. 2 SlaveofChrist and nigeltastic reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which would be odd... Since most of the game play of X-Wing was chucked away for Armada..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
