X-Wing large ships announced by FFG

Agreed. Also, FFG have a nice article about the big ships on [URL="http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=4312"]their website now[/URL].

The Tantive IV won’t be legal for standard tournaments, but you’ll be able to bring it to battle in both the Cinematic Play and Epic tournament format. Furthermore, you’ll gain the opportunity to crew it with the indomitable Rebel hero, Leia Organa!

Look at those ships! Gorgeous!!!



Also this regarding the GR-75 pack:

While the Rebel transport is only legal in the game’s Cinematic Play and Epic tournament formats, the rest of the expansion is likely to make its impact upon the standard game with five different upgrade options, a new X-wing miniature, and four new X-wing pilots, including Jek Porkins and Rebel ace Wes Janson.

Yup, really pretty. I do wonder what the Empire will get though. The smallest thing I can think of, the Tartan patrol ship, is still twice as long as a corvette.

They could do an IPV-1 or DP20. Those are the same size or smaller than a CR90.

Those pesky Bothans have said to take a *good look* at this:

Hmm, seem like a good counterpart for anything that was recently announced?

Vigil-class Corvette
The Vigil-class corvette was a warship in the Imperial Navy.

This design originated as a fanon vessel made by Ansel Hsiao. According to Hsiao, it was intended to be a heavy corvette for escort, reconnaissance, and utility duties of the Galactic Empire. When approached by Lucasfilm Licensing to provide artwork for The Essential Guide to Warfare, Hsiao submitted his own designs in addition to new models, along with their names. The names were recorded in LFL's Holocron continuity database, according to the artist. Jason Fry, one of the authors of the book, forgot to record the statistics of the Vigil-class corvette in the endnotes section detailing the other ships Hsiao design, and proceeded to post it on the eighth part of the endnotes on his tumblr account as a quick note at the end.

Class: Corvette
Length:255 meters
Users: Galactic Empire

That would be possible, still 66% longer than the Tantive IV though. It has the iconic pie slice shape.

Stick in a lancer class and laugh at the little fighter ships....
