atlantis reacted to RogueCorona in Which Universe is best suited to a re skin of the Armada rules?
It would be interesting to see them try. The big difference of course is that in Trek, not counting the Starfleet Universe spinoffs, most ships called fighters are really closer to gunboats in size and function and you don't see much in the way of carriers

Star Trek.

That would work
B5 would also be great if FFG was willing to dip into the ships created by the companies which had the gaming license before them and create some of their own, two things I'm pretty sure FFG would be fine with doing.

Ship specific missions would be great! This idea gives a legitimate reason to have an interdictor or GR-75.

atlantis reacted to nekomatafuyu in Wave 3 and beyond
Hmm, the idea of non-military ships being used for missions could combine well with the missions being individual cards.
It's a possibility that in the future certain ships could come with a mission card in the expansion. If this does happen, it would make sense that the mission would tie in with the ship in question, and it could even be a requirement that to have that mission as one of your 3, you must have the appropriate ship in your fleet. (The example that I have in mind would be a mission in which you've just pulled player 1's fleet out of hyperspace, but that requires you to have an Interdictor type ship in your fleet.)

One interesting ship to the 3 wave is the GR-75, with it you can do some interesting missions, like transport supply under imperial attack, one thing that I miss in this game are missions based upon special ships (transport, communication, medical...) but all are military ships.

FFG will not touch the prequels. They have stated such before and with the new movies coming out I actually doubt Lucasfilms would sign off on it.

atlantis got a reaction from Bensonders in Wave 1 Quality Issues
I think that the quality of this new ship game is not as good as X-wing. I bought a lot of x-wing ships, and more or less they all where well painted and assembled. For armada it seems that FFG choose another place or people... I did receive also bad models and bad paintings, so I decided to buy glue, paint and try to make a better looking. I am a little bit disappointed with quality, I will buy less ships in this game...

atlantis reacted to Utar in Some more custom ships
Assault Frigate Mark I is up on shapeways in Frosted detail. I know it's rather expensive but I ordered the master for resin casting and I also printed some of the bigger ships in White Strong and Flexible. If the WSF versions come out okay I will offer them also.

atlantis reacted to Hedgehobbit in Core Set Mini Size
Here's a picture with some of the small capital ships from SW Miniatures Starship Battles. The Armada ships are on either end. As you can see they aren't too far off. The two transports (I think the brown one is some sort of transport) and the EP1 cruiser would work well as objectives or some sort of convoy. I can't recall what that weird Nebulon-B thing is. It's got two front wings and fins in the back. The names for these miniatures were on the bases and I tossed them long ago.
-
atlantis reacted to Utar in Some more custom ships
Here are the custom ship sizes scaled with the current FFG Armada ships. These images are scaled so that if you print them on a full 8.5" x 11" piece of paper the ships will be actual size.
Second Group:
I look forward to getting all Mel's awesome custom ships. Here are some other variants I have created...

atlantis reacted to XUR in expanded role for colonial ships ?
Hey Atlantis !
It's been a long time since I last came here.
Congrats for your ships, they look quite cool.
You even managed to build that damned Daru-Mozu !! -XD-
Of course, people will ask you "why spending so much time on these, while this has no concrete impact on the game ?"
(but we, of all people, know the answer )
I too bought the Revell plastic kit of the BSG.
Now there's one thing I really crave for : having Moebius/revell doing modern basestars, so I can have a couple of them at the correct scale.
Can you imagine how thrilling that would be ?
^^

atlantis reacted to Ozmodon65 in Battlestar Galactica armada ?
make Battlestar Galactica with prepainted fighters and it would be an instant success.. 3 fighter's to a base.

atlantis reacted to FTS Gecko in Once FFG runs out of Star Wars ships to make would you like to see fighters from other SciFi universes added to the mix?
I'd love to see a BSG game. It would probably be perfect as a stand alone set, as all you'd need would be Colonial Vipers and Raptors, plus Cylon Raiders and Heavy Raiders. Certainly wouldn't need many expansions!

Hi!, Where did you bought the Tardis?, I do have one but is bigger.
I am interested to do one armada with Battlestar Galactica and another with Buck Roger's ships!!

atlantis reacted to Stormtrooper721 in FFG, PLEASE learn from WotC's Star Wars Miniatures mistakes!
I REALLY enjoyed WotC's Star Wars Miniatures when it was still being played. Here's some pics:
I do admit to amassing a small Imperial army:
I even amassed a small Imperial fleet:
Here's a large Ewok force advancing on my Imperial bunker:
Here's my Snowtroopers disembarking from their AT-ATs:
Another large battle with Stormtroopers advancing on a Rebel cell in Mos Eisley:
Anyhoo, from an experienced Star Wars ground combat player:
1. Don't overpower the heroes to the point than no-name characters are unplayable. There will be people who will want to field Stormtroopers (like me!) or Tusken Raiders or an Ewok army.
2. Be prepared for people who want to scale up the battles. Skirmish is nice but I love BIG EPIC battles once in a while.
3. Make the game make sense - don't give characters abilities that make no sense - the Thrawn-swap for those other SWM players that remember it.
4. Don't create uber abilities that are subject to abuse - for SWM players, Furious Assault + Accurate Shot + Twin Attack allowing a single character to target as many characters as it can see and shoot each twice! In big games, this could mean a single character could shoot a gun a hundred times or more in one single turn! Thawn's initiative advantage was also too much for many players.
5. Think about releasing deluxe pre-painted packs. I plan to buy A LOT of your product and I'm not a painter. I'm already going to have the starter kit's minis professionally painted and it's going to cost me an arm and a leg. Please think about releasing at least some pre-painted Stormtrooper packs. I will put your kids through college if you do!

atlantis reacted to DoubleNot7 in Star Trek: Attack Wing copyright infringement?
I'd like to see this system applied to Battlestar Galactica.

atlantis reacted to DoubleNot7 in 2015…will this game be around?
Dang, I would have loved a BSG version of these game mechanics. Hey, FFG, you paying attention? They could do old and new versions too. Just leave Loren Green out though, LOL.

I'll offer up a semi-serious answer, and nominate the Starfury. Would a 0 K-turn be too much?
