So there was some talk when wave 4 was previewed mentioning Epic versions of the rules to go alongside the new bigger ships. Anyone heard anything else about these rules?
I'd imagine those big ships would be better suited for 4x4 or 4x6 foot tables and the like.

Who could actually RUN 24 academy pilots though? Hell, I've only got 8!

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

I'm looking forward to the 300 point games. I'm getting 4 of the Imperial Aces boxed sets to go with the 4 Interceptors I have now and I'm looking forward to run a full squadron of 12 Interceptors in a game with the epic rules.
And you can fit 25 Academy Pilots in 300 points, not just 24.

Is the 300 point conjecture or is there a source for the new Epic rules?
I would have thought (hoped) they'd try something smarter than just upping the point limit.
More players, Re-spawns, squadron cards, linked campaigns (starting with rookies etc)... we shall see.

In fairness the linked campaigns coming with the OTHER new set of rules for it. And don't forget, a good chunk of those 300 will be spent on a blockade runner.
As for who who actually HAVE 24 (or 25  ) academy pilots, there's always going to be the guy with more money and TIE-fighters than sense

Sorry, 16 ship limit as well. Tie swarm is way overpowered at 300 points.

I'll hold off that Tie swarm. I'm mainly interested in doing whatever Imperial ship they come out with to match the Transport and Blockade Runner, along with a TIE swarm.

Fine by me. I can still run my squadron of Interceptors with the 16 ship limit.
