Based on my working experience with FFG I do occasionally get hints of things to come. Though I'm not referring to Armada specifically, if the general vibe I'm getting from FFG is correct, we may be getting Clone Wars material sooner than we think.
Or, I could be totally wrong.......but I still want that Imperial Venator:)

Well TCW is a kids show but the villains were still competent.  
S1:E2
General Grievous annihilates Plo Koon’s entire task force and loses no ships
S1:E9
Ventress disables a Republic warship and saves Gunray
S1:E10
General Grievous kills Kit Fisto’s padawan and entire unit of clones.  
S1:E16
Ventress and Commander Whorm Loathsom gain a major strategic victory over the clones.  All of the Repbulic’s tanks and air support are lost.
S1:E19
The Republic does win this episode.  However, Anakim loses his flag ship.
S1:E22
Cad Bane kicks butt and makes off with Zero the Hutt
 
that means that the villains had won in 5 episodes and destroyed anakins flag ship in a 6th.  These were competent villains.  The only time the Empire even got close to a victory in rebels was the battle of Atolon.  Unfortunately, thrawn didn’t achieve a tactical win and season 4 showed us that he didn’t get the strategic win either.
 

I just started Armada and I'm really enjoying it but I was wondering if there is any chance that Fantasy Flight Games will make a base game or expansion packs with Clone Wars era ships like a Venator-class Star Destroyer, Munificent/Providence Class Dreadnoughts, Lucrehulk-class Battleship, ARC-170s and Vulture Droids.

Gonna throw in a comment xD
Personally i'd love to see FFG dip their toe into the clone wars era, even if its just a Venator for the empire, and whatever for the rebels.
I'd buy every Venator model <3 <3
It'd be a missed oppertunity to pass up on some clone wars era ships. And tbh its a logical move compaired to say adding in First order and resistance capital ships (them ships make an ISD look small)

One of my biggest problems with the Rebels TV show is that they never actually hired a science fiction consultant. Dave Filoni has botched even some very basic science in that show. For instance, in Season 2, Episode 4 "Relics of the Old Republic" The Ghost crew and clones lure 2 AT-ATs into a sandstorm and the AT-ATs can't see a thing. Apparently none of the Imperials had ever heard about something called infrared. The visible spectrum is a very small band but other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum like X-ray, infrared and UV can reveal things that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Infrared can see right through a sandstorm with ease. On the other hand, In Clone Wars season 5, episode 3 "Front Runners" one of the B1 battle droids says, "switch to infrared" after the power station is destroyed. So a shoddy droid mass produced in the millions has better sensors than the AT-AT because the story group never paid attention in middle school science. Not to mention the Sith Inquisitors who used their lightsabers as helicopter blades in Twilight of the Apprentice. The Bernoulli effect doesn't work on beams of plasma. In Zero Hour one of them shoots the hull of an Interdictor with a Blurrg pistol and it blows up a good chunk of the ship. Is the hull of a canon Star Destroyer made of cardboard? That is like taking a 9 mm hand gun and shooting a tank. The tiny bullet would just bounce off the tank's armor. They also had space whales that could make the jump to hyperspace and teleporting space wolves. Some of these episodes would have been pretty good if it weren't for these major errors.

Clone Wars was also a "kids show" but the Separatists were actually competent. There isn't a single episode of Rebels where the Imperials win or even come close to winning. Another problem I have with Rebels is that they brought in EU characters like Thrawn and then completely ruined them. In an interview with Timothy Zahn he said, "By the time I found out and by the time they announced it, Season Three was certainly largely scripted and a lot of the animation was done, as well. I would throw little suggestions in with the idea they could tweak something or possibly use it in another season, but for the most part, it was seeing what they had done and tailoring my book to them." Dave Filoni didn't even bother to hire Timothy Zahn as a consultant to guide Thrawn's story arc and make him competent. Here is a link to the interview so you can see for yourself.

On the other hand when BioWare made A Traitor Among the Chiss for SWTOR they actually wrote it in collaboration with Timothy Zahn instead of just telling him about it after they had already made it like Dave Filoni did.

Well if the CIS were added they could include the ordnance upgrade card 'Watch Those Wrist Rockets'.

There are definitely issues with the new map. That is my primary issues with the new trilogy.

In Legends, Kashyyyk is the nexus of 4 important hyperspace routes. I understand that Disney made a new galaxy map but their map is terrible. For instance, when the Starkiller base destroys Hosnian Prime, Finn is able to see it from Takodana. I logically assumed that Takodana and Hosnian Prime were in the same star system because they would have to be close together for someone to see that with the naked eye. Instead the planets are about 25,000 light years away. Venus is only 6 light minutes away and people can barely see that with the naked eye. In The Last Jedi, Finn and Rose travel to Cantonica to the city of Canto Bight to find a slicer. Again I assumed that Canto Bight was in the same star system as Crait because the fleet was running dangerously low on fuel. Instead the visual dictionary puts Cantonica in the far right corner which is about 150,000 light years away from Crait. That is more than half way across the galaxy. That is like the earth equivalent of driving from Argentina to Alaska just to find a computer hacker. That would use up an absurd amount of fuel that the Resistance couldn't afford to waste.

I think the prequels are being re-evaluated and becoming more popular since The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi have gotten some backlash. The prequel-haters complained about Anakin being whiny but he was only 19 and Kylo was 31 and every bit as much of a whiny emo brat. I would expect a teenager to be whiny but a guy in his 30s should be above throwing a temper tantrum. The same goes for Jar Jar's slapstick comedy. The Last Jedi did much of the same slapstick and undermined serious moments like Luke receiving his old lightsaber and meeting Leia for the first time in more than a decade. That's just the tip of the iceberg. The Rebels TV show is a complete mess. The Imperials can't even do background checks for their TIE Defender factory. Even McDonald's does background checks. Thrawn was too dumb to realize that his Star Destroyer has a tractor beam that could have stopped General Sato's ship, Phoenix Home, in the Iron Squadron episode. Instead Thrawn just called to say goodbye. That same General became a kamikaze at the end of season 3 so taking him captive would have prevented that. Thrawn also had such a short attention span that he couldn't keep up an orbital bombardment for more than a few minutes. The prequels have gotten quite a bit of hate over the years but at least they had competent Separatists who locked their doors and followed basic military protocol like encrypting messages and doing background checks to see if someone working at their factory is on the Empires Top 10 most wanted list.

My biggest problem with Aftermath: Life Debt is that nobody in the story group bothered to check it for continuity errors. In the book Mon Mothma claims that Kashyyyk has no strategic significance to the New Republic at all thus Han Solo is on his own and has to form his own strike team to liberate Kashyyyk. This contradicts Revenge of the Sith where Obi-Wan says, "We do not have many ships to spare" but Yoda, Mace Windu, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Obi-Wan and the rest of the Jedi Council all agree that Kashyyyk is "a system we cannot afford to lose." Yoda even oversees the defense of Kashyyyk personally. When the Grand Master of the Jedi Order and 3 other Jedi Masters fight for a planet you know it must be significant. I would be more forgiving if this detail were hidden in some obscure source book or atlas that was retconned, but Disney cannot retcon one of the movies. This means that Yoda, Luminara Unduli, Quinlan Vos and company were incompetent morons who fought over a planet that was worthless according to Chuck Wendig.

I think I’d rather see the Clone Wars done as a new line of Armada once their stuff for the current era finally runs dry. An Armada 2.0, if you will, allowing them to tweak the rules based on what they’ve learned so far and what feels right for representing that era. I’m not concerned with a hypothetical Clone Wars Armada being 100% compatable with current Armada. Though I’d expect it to be 98% the same because current Armada is a good game.

It's amazing, when I first discovered this game, I thought it was a match made in heaven for the Clone Wars. I had gone through a childhood of some amazing Friday night space battles with that show, and the OT never really had that other than in VI. I would love to see Clone Wars factions and ships come into the game, but tragically for now it looks like I'll have to settle for shapeways.
