Big ship rules with some pdf downloads. I haven't read through it yet.

Looks pretty interesting. Adding a whole new phase to the game will change things up a bit.

And I'm looking forward to ramming a tie swarm with the 'vette.

Looks pretty cool to me - the CR90 will be a BEAST firing all secondary weapons at once (though pricey for squad points and energy usage).

The Epic tournament rules were also nice to see - confirmed 6' x 3', 300 points, with "Epic Points" for limiting how many huge ships you can use. And they add a 2v2 tournament with 400 points (200 per team mate). Those will make for some looong matches and tournaments... I wonder if 6x3 @ 300 will be considered the standard for huge ships in casual play then, too?

Ran... range band 5?!

Not sure I like that any small or large ships overlapped by a huge ship are automatically destroyed. I can see a lot of players intentionally gunning these big boats forward just to ram everything in their path, and since they move after all the other large and small ships have it makes it a little easier to set up 'ram' attacks.

EDIT: just realized that the huge ships have incredibly limited movement, so I retract my initial complaint. If you get caught under one of these things, your pilots deserve to die

They look like alot of fun. I'm not sure I can bring myself to buy one, but I like the idea.

I think my resolve to not buy one will last until I see one for sale in my FLGS...

My FLGS has mine in stock, I got an email that the transport is waiting for me to pick up as soon as I get back from Michigan. Sweet...
