That's all Asmodee I'm pretty sure. I don't recall actually testing the new card sizes, just the abilities of the ships etc.

Discord is a real-time direct chat tool, I really don’t get why people use it as a forum, it’s awful for that!

It’s not just a strictly better Hull and shield upgrade, though: when docked, you cannot go fast and cannot shoot (and I’d have to do some research on if it even has any actions), docking requires you to bump and lose your action for a turn, and its health is only behind one green die.
Given how little it would be used for its setup effect (I haven’t really heard of Resistance Han Solo or Crew Boba Fett getting any use), I wouldn’t say it’s anywhere near worth 15 points. All that would do is make you even more reliant on not playing the game with your Anakin.

Surely the most famous non-canon ship would be either the Ebon Hawk or the Eclipse SSD?
Now if we’re talking about most famously ugly (formerly) non-canon ship then yeah

mazz0 reacted to player3691565 in Munificent and Hardcell individual ships
You can pick up starter sets for around 69.99, I suspect buying the individual ship packs will cost more, spare damage decks are handy to be honest so......only issue will be what would the cards be on any future packs and does that mean you will need to buy them anyway....

mazz0 reacted to Antonio_F in Update Your Upgrades to 1.5
I snipped the images from the rules reference guide and resized them to match the mini sizes. You can print them out and put them in a sleeve with the old card. I put the unique cards on separate pages so you can print out multiples of the others as necessary. The resolution of the artwork isn't great but the text is clear. Link is below:

(Removed Auxiliary Shields Team and replaced with Engine Techs.)
By popular demand I have resized the CW upgrades as well:

mazz0 reacted to LinoB in CW Tarot size ship cards
They are not perfect some have more blurry than other but I worked with what I could find on the internet and I think they look decent CW ship card tarot sized: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1saeKQKspxM_u8wjL8sU48UghaViWqwPq?usp=sharing
enjoy!

It's really all about feelsies isn't it. Arguing relative strength in canon is a mug's game (canon being absurdly inconsistent and illogical). If they want the Venator to feel like an ¨über-carrier, which I hope they do, it needs more than 4 squadron.
I'm not sure about the 3 command though. Yeah it's smaller than an ISD, could even be a medium, but perhaps the downside to the massive squadron value should be a high command value. Seems appropriate too given the complexity of the double-bridge system.

mazz0 reacted to Rmcarrier1 in Venator
Which I hope we can both agree is a ridiculously small and arbitrary number, and means nothing, right? Because Essex carriers carried over 100 fighters in WWII. And by my measurements, they’re about, oh, 13 miles shorter than an SSD. 😁

mazz0 reacted to Battlefleet 01 Studios in Venator
I was thinking about this recently, and knowing that the Venator was renowned for being a carrier especially when in comparison to the ISD leads me to believe that it is going to have a very high squadron capacity, something like 5 or maybe 6. I also see one of the versions having double offensive retrofit to maximize squadron potential. I also could see a special upgrade for only the Venator that is something like “rapid launch bays” that enables it to deploy its fighters via its massive hanger.

mazz0 reacted to JediPartisan in Venator
This has probably been discussed ad nauseam, but I have the Clone Wars bug.
To get an idea of what the Venator would look like in Armada, I was comparing it to the Imperial Star Destroyer. In cannon the ISD was supposed to replace the Venator, so I thought it was the way to go. The one question I came up after looking is, could the Venator be the first ship with a 5 or even 6 Squadron. Before you freak, let me explain. I did find that everyone seems to have different stats, so I just picked one set and went from there, so I hope my stats are accurate.
Some stats:
Length & Width: the Venator come out to 1,137 meters in length, but the ISD is a staggering 1,600 meters. In width, the Venator is again smaller than the ISD at 548 to 900 meters. So overall the Venator is about two thirds the size of the ISD.
Weapons: in any of the stats that I saw the Venator has a credible amount of weapons, but is outclassed in this area by the ISD, though it looks like the Venator is less focused in the front arc and has its weapon spread out more evenly.
Cargo: the ISD has the mind boggling 36,000 metric tons and the Venator has a respectable 20,000.
Crew: The ISD is a small city at 37,050 with room for an additional 9,700 Stormtroopers and the Venator comes in at 7,400 with 2,000 clone troopers.
Auxiliary Craft: Here is where the Venator shows who is the undisputed boss and why I think it should have such an insane stat. The ISD has an impressive 48 TIE/ln Fighter, 12 TIE Bombers, 12 TIE Interceptors, 8 Lambda Class Shuttles, “numerous” (that’s all it said, no number) Sentinal Class Landing Craft (with 9,700 stormtroopers, I guess they would need numerous) and various utility craft. The Venator carries 192 V-Wing or V-19 Torrents (yep 192!), 36 ARC-170s, 40 LAAT Gunships and several ground attack shuttles. Also keep in mind the Venator has two bridges, one of which is dedicated to fighter craft coordination and command. Now I was curious as to how badly the 250 attack craft of the Venator compared to the MC80, and it’s still no contest as well, though the MC80 does have a respectable 120 fighter craft capacity. It really makes me wonder why the ISDs have a 4 in Squadron (probably for game balance?).
So I’m not sure what the stats for the Venator will be, but if it doesn’t have at least a 5 in Squadron, I think that would be selling them short. As far as the other stats, the Venator seems to be nothing special in fire power or shielding. From the animated show, it does seem like the Venator can take tons of damage and still continue to operate. There is even an episode where one Venator tanks attacks from six Munificent Class ships (see starting at about 2:43). The ship does get incredibly damaged, but continues to function, so I have no idea what kind of hull we’d be talking about. Probably about equal or slightly better than an ISD maybe (11-14), but with less shields (3, 3, 2 maybe? or even 3, 2, 2). The only thing is the design philosophy of the republic is for the Venator to be multipurpose, and everything from weapons to shielding seem to be evenly distributed.
I know there is a fan made version of a Venator with ship cards and all, but I don’t think that jibes with the stats or the stories. I’m not great at listing ships in Armada stats, but here’s an attempt.
Hull: 12, Anti-Squadron: 1red,1black
Command:3, Squadron:6, Engineering:4
Brace, Redirect, Contain, Salvo
Speed (pretty much the same as an ISD)
I
I I
I I -
1, 2, 3
Shields: 3Fore, 3Starboard & Port, 2Aft
Armament: 3red/2blue - Fore, 2red/3blue Port & Starboard, 2red/1blue Aft (sounds general purpose enough and the other Venator version would swap out 1 die on each side for a black)
What do you think? How would you stat the Venator given all the facts and would it have a 5 or 6 Squadron? It does have twice as many fighters as the next closest ship (though I admit, I didn’t look into CIS).

Yeah.
My resizes are ready to print. All text fits on American mini, all symbology does as well. Font size either equal or 0.5 smaller than the Standard format.
With the exception of Swivel-Mount Batteries. 1 point smaller. Soooo muuuuuch teeeeeext.
All I need are high-res graphics and I'm putting them up.
PS: CW Tarot ship cards are coming too.

And redo the ship cards to have all the info
