Trizzo2 419 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) RIP Nelson Nice post Also this is, i think, the best looking ships so far for either faction. Well done FFG. Edited May 20, 2016 by Trizzo2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Formynder4 716 Posted May 21, 2016 You beat me to it. Though I was going to post more along the lines of how they're announcing a wave before the prior wave is even available for purchase and how it would kill off Armada by burying us in a deluge of mandatory purchases in order to have fun, rather than mirroring his style.Well done.

Nagash1959 94 Posted May 21, 2016 I did feel kind of let down with Wave 3 being a single ship per faction...but if FFG is going to do that and announce a new wave every three-ish months I think that's a pretty solid trade off. Nice to see more stuff as always. 1 Chemosh667 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyraeus 4,759 Posted May 21, 2016 After all it is the ISD that has us playing Armada and not X-Wing. Am I wrong? For me, yes, you are wrong. I'd be playing Armada, as a Game format, even if it was any franchise other than Star Wars. I didn't want the Decision / Decision / Decision / Decision seat of the pants Feel of X-Wing. I like to contemplate my moves, plan them out, and then watch the plan unfold over a few turns, rather tahn be improvising on the fly. Good points, the Game Mechanics are better for me too. But aesthetically speaking I still feel many are drawn in by the ISD. Everything about it screams "I'm Bad!" You know my feelings on X-Wing Beatty. I would play Armada every time.

Lyraeus 4,759 Posted May 21, 2016 I hate this stupid-ass-game! My feelings on X-Wing. It's too imbalanced and just feels like another version of 40k. 1 Chemosh667 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Boss Red Seven 11,293 Posted May 21, 2016 I hate this stupid-ass-game! My feelings on X-Wing. It's too imbalanced and just feels like another version of 40k. One of the reasons I play it CASUAL and at home with my own little rules fixes... I have to say that our beloved Marda is a jump up because they fixed the issues that are still in X-WING.

Gottmituns205 1,601 Posted May 21, 2016 So you pretty much summed up wave 3 spam...gonzos for activations and tricked out ISD. MC80 Liberty is gonna love that ****...sitting in the corner is gonna be fun with the rebels now that we've got a serious fishhead front arc hitter...flanked with cheapo TRC nebs...it just got real dawg. 1 Joe Boss Red Seven reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnalBuccaneer 8 Posted May 21, 2016 i see a lot of people already getting mad about possible fleet builds etc.... but i think what this wave does is bring balance to the force... lawl, im a nerd.... seriously though, imperials now have a serious support ship (and options with cards like grav wells, and tractor beams etc.) and rebels now have the ability to out-gun the imperials (at blue range) in which was a huge complaint for rebels.... before this wave the strategy of a fleet was essentially predetermined... i think this wave (although upsetting in some aspects) will do nothing but add a whole lot of variation to lists and strategies.... exciting.

Gottmituns205 1,601 Posted May 21, 2016 This wave makes taking demolisher a risk...when the Interdictor pops up and slows it down, or out right stops it... Also the Liberty was the missing piece in a rebel sniper fleet... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ginkapo 9,093 Posted May 21, 2016 Whilst I enjoy the theorising in this thread, you guys are too upbeat. Theorising should be restricted to ways in which the new wave will FAIL only. tl:dr Burn the ships, just burn them. I hear they go up a dream with a can of gasoline! FFG know what they are doing, no fire would be complete without an interdictor so I shall be spending $299 on Interdictors just so I can get a proper melt going on. And just to add, this does not make me friends with SnipaFist. His kind have no place on these forums. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyboymb 1,068 Posted May 23, 2016 I think referring to General Madine as a her was due to the actor wearing lipstick in all his scenes of RoTJ in addition to dat coif. But then again so was Akbar... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bertie Wooster 1,804 Posted May 12 My favorite necro is when someone asked a question in 2015 about spending engineering points then posted again 4 years later, thanking everyone for answering his question. 4 5 Admiral Calkins, GLEXOR, Darth Sanguis and 6 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Calkins 1,468 Posted May 12 This thread needed to be necro’d though. Considering that you can get an evade for the Interdictor through Needa, it changes @Ginkapo’s initial take, kind of making Interdictors a little OP. 3 RyonOlson, The Jabbawookie and Darth Sanguis reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
