Actually, it's from 'venare' "to hunt"Originally Posted by 0rph3u5
Not really. 'Rapere' is primarily "to seize" or "to take". So, the famous Rape of the Sabine Women from early Roman history is a mass kidnapping followed by Stockholm syndrome, which isn't really better than rape, (and probably included some rape in fact) but wife stealing has a good historical basis and, umm, I think this is getting off-topic ...
So, for 'raptor' picture the velociraptors from Jurassic Park, and not sexual violence. And on that note, I give you [URL="http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/09/fan_fiction_friday_jurassic_park_guys_and_a_veloci .php"]Root Her[/URL], a Jurassic Park slashfic.
Oh, NSFW. Actually, just not safe. And includes too many uses of the word "Velocigina". Which, oddly, should be the name of a spaceship ...

Here's hoping for a March/April release!
No real reasons, except I don't like waiting
Perhaps their recent merger/takeover/buyout will improve their logistics, and get us our pew pew with greater reliability!Fed up for Scalpers? https://www.facebook.com/groups/1710575492567307/?ref=bookmarks

I really want to start a space fleet game. Should I buy into Firestorm Armada or wait for this? Choices, choices...

Both!
From what I've seen of Armada on the FFG previews, it's more 'ballet' - long sweeping manoeuvres, as opposed to the more frantic X-Wing

So stats and ship cards are offical now
I see Tarkin and Fleet Officer going to be thing. Needa and Mara Jade might be good fit too. Dunno what to make of Ozzel.
When I first saw those firing arcs, I thought there would be a blind spot but no overlap ... and here I thought my spacial reasoning was excellent...Last edited by 0rph3u5; 04-24-2015 at 02:37 PM.

Grand Moff Tarkin artwork is the same as the card from Armada.
