Approximately 4 hours when the non-transport team capitulated. It was pretty thinned out by then, but the transport was basicalky untouched. They mostly ignored it.Columbob wrote: How long was that game?

It's a laser line. It is used for checking firing arcs. I personally find it easier to just use one of the straight edges of the templates.ThirstyMan wrote: What is that red LED/laser thing that guy is holding? What's it used for?

I don't know how many people can play this game but it would be fun if we could get all the FATtie limeys playing Imperial forces and the rest of us good guys playing the rebels, that would be a blast. The trash talk would be epic.

If the capital ships are to scale with each other, then a star destroyer would be hella big compared to the rebel transports, with a price tag to match. I do have the Lego star destroyer (the two foot long one), I think it might be to scale actually.
Someone on BGG figured it out. Using the scale of the Rebel Transport and the Tantive IV, a Star Destroyer would actually be somewhere around 17 feet.
Yeah but still, there's no way FFG doesn't introduce a star destroyer. It's probably the most iconic ship in the entire series, I'd argue more so than even the X-Wing or the Falcon.
Calling it now, scale be damned, they'll make the biggest piece of plastic they can release with an MSRP of $99.99

They had the Tantive IV and all the wave 4 and the rebel aces on dispaly. The Tantive IV is a nice looking ship, looked about 1/2 again the size of the transport.

OTOH, if you're buying it because you really enjoy the dogfighting of X-Wing, the transport is really not worth it because you'll never be able to use it in regular games and it's not really worth it for Epic point games, either, because it doesn't really change enough for its cost, IMO. The new X-Wing pilots aren't going to replace Biggs or Wedge anytime soon and almost all the cards included are restricted to the transport itself. The one real upside is the 4 new droids (R2, R4, etc.) that are included, because a couple of those are really interesting.
I don't regret buying it because I like the missions and I think they did a slick job representing big ship movement and I like the potential that holds for the game (Sadly, Star Destroyers are pretty much out of the question at any reasonable price point.) But if you're buying it to enhance your current fleet, I don't think it's what you're looking for.
