Ah. I missed the bold face type. You're right. It's referring to larger ships. I'm convinced it's the freighter-sized ships, rather than capital ships, but we won't know till we get an announcement.

A Correllian Corvette would be about 18 inches long in this scale.  I imagine it would cost more than $100…

I guess that "large" means YT-1300 or Firespray ships…

Capital ships could be included as a card. Look at the mission portion of the rules. There is a specific card for the Senator's Shuttle. Capital ships might give a tactical advantage. For instance, the cost to deploy a ship under "Squad Building Rules" could be reduced if a Capital ship is present. The movement could be restricted to the player's edge and they could have the ability to target ships if they are in range or even hold them in place with a tractor beam.

Come on it's obviously the Death Star!  Or probably just the trench.  It comes in a 18" wide, 1/4 mile long roll with cardboard towers and a small thermal exhaust port template that you have to roll your dice onto to hit.

What do you mean 'no'?

Since all the ships are to scale, a star destroyer card would only have to be six meters long

Well played.

I was considering Pilot Stress from the rules and the fact that Card Rules supersede the Game Rules. I think that the Millennium Falcon with Han Solo and Chewie (Multiple crew members should be possible, no?), should actually get benefits from Stress. Just look at the films: Solo did his best and most creative flying under pressure. It would be really cool if this was translated into the gameplay for the Falcon.

I thought it was a different kind of stress, like physical stress, not emotional stress. I don't think doing a kolgorian (sp) turn would stress a pilot out, but I could see it putting stress on their body. Know what I mean? 

If done in the same scale, the B-wing will dwarf the other fighters.

Were the Falcon to be released I think the pilots would probably Han and Lando primarily (EU not withstanding) but co-pilots, added similarly to upgrades would be Chewie, Leia, etc.

Also the Falcon has 2 turrets, as well as forward batteries and missiles/torpedoes of various colours, shields, signal jamming equipment (potential to disrupt or prevent enemy upgrades or talents at a certain range).  Guns, guns guns!  Especially if crewed to the hilt like the battle of Endor.

As for Slave 1, how many available weapons/upgrades?  Episode II showed what the early model had under the bonnet (or hood for US) and Fett the younger added even more.  Including a cloaking device I think I read somewhere.

Anyhow, the way the points look for the current starfighters, could these two potentially get pretty close to 100 individually?

I could totally see that happening.

Well, the Falcon fully stocked could theoretically take on a whole squad of TIEs

A B-Wing is 16.9 meters long, only about 4 meters longer than an X-Wing.  The model should only be 62.5 mm.  That's along the long end, cockpit to cannons.  It's big, but may still may fit in the blisters.

I imagine that the ship would be a YT-1300, if you choose Han as the pilot, then you have the milenum falcon.  The Falcon isn't a type of ship it is a specific ship.  It is highly midified, but that could be handled with upgrade cards.  Remember the ion cannons on a y-wing are upgrandes.

On a similar note I imagine that FFG may release a Flamespirt (I could be wrong on the ship type) if you take Boba or maybe even Jango.

A Firespray, but same idea, yes. I agree that it would be released as a YT-1300 freighter, but at this point, I'm cool with just calling it the Millennium Falcon, since we don't run around saying Incom T-65 X-wing starfighter. Slightly different situation, I know, but same difference.
