What do you not like about them?

We were thinking that this would be a good opportunity to look back and showcase how things have changed. We have a few more we are looking to record, so buckle those seatbelts!

On my list to do something a little better for The Last Starfighter. I just had to do something for the 40th anniversary though. :) - Ken

Thank you! We just signed the contract and will be making a public announcement in short order.

Vielen Dank! We have been waiting for the "update" to be released as we did not know the full scale of what the changes were going to be. Our estimate and what happened were fairly close, but not quite. We are currently in production for Madness 2025 (due to begin releases in either March or April) and will then move to finishing Season 8 (6 episodes) under the new 1.6 rules. These will release this summer.

Also heißt es ihr überlegt ob das interessant für ein Staffelfinale sein könnte die Konstellation?

Sadly, Asmodee has the current license and is not likely to give it up. Although it is possible at some point in the future that a company may resurrect this game, nothing is currently on the horizon.

@IONRadio thanks for the info, luckily me and my friends almost got all the possible expansions of the game so we will be able to play a variety of ships...not counting all the custom and 3d printed stuff available!

@@IONRadio a question: as in the years we've collected a lot of custom models (like from Mel's Miniatures and so on) do you know a good site that prints custom cards and dials to put on the stands of ships and squadrons? You can do in printed paper but harder cardboard would be better. For the matter of Asmodee I think that the Armada community should begin to raise its voice, maybe starting to messaging them, just to let them know that the game still has a market to exploit...

@ we cannot speak to custom components for Ship Cards or Squadrons given contractual obligations. We can however, talk about Admiral Tater's Ship Shop for accessories and rulers for use with Star Wars: Armada.

@IONRadio oh I see, excuse me for the question, I didn't know you had contractual conditions to respect... however is a little bit strange to have such restrictions about a game that is, at the moment, discontinued. Thanks a lot for your time! May Armada be with you!!!

We're looking through this more closely and have found several other errors as well. I have been reporting these back to AMG.

Ryan Kingston has already been updated. There are several other ones that I have not heard of before that also include the new errata. - Ken

@IONRadio ahh awesome will go look at my lists cheers

​@IONRadio just looked at my list XX9's still at 5pts on Ryan's

@ You may need to clear your cache. Ryan Kingston's builder is working fine for us.

@IONRadio ahh cheers will do

The rule you are looking for is not in that excerpt. Look under "Effect Use and Timing" (pg 6 RRG v1.6). "Effects with a command icon as a header, such as 'Concentrate Fire Icon:', can be resolved once while the ship is resolving the matching command."

I believe I can arrange that. I'll post something on our community page over the weekend. - Ken

Same.

Posted on our community page. I hope this helps.

No disputing that the website says with preorders you get the foil card. I did not receive one - although to be fair mine is NOT a preorder, but a review copy.

Recusant still has the absolutely insane patriot fist / SMB /APT or ACM combo. Annoyingly it limits it to that build, but the ship is still absolutely deadly.

I''m not sure I completely agree with this. DTT provides similar functionality to LTT (versus ships) on one of your shots. If my math is right at long range while in a double arc, LTT would net you +.28 Damage to each shot, whereas DTT would net +.75 to one shot. Playing averages you would do 5.25 (DTT) vs 5.06 (LTT). At closer ranges DTT provides more damage potential as you can remove a blue or black die. Another way to look at it is DTT = +.18 damage / pt and LTT = +.08 damage / pt. My two cents, your mileage may vary. - Ken

@hirmetrium1 To be clear, I'm not speaking about the recusant in general. I mean specifically the support destroyer version that doesn't have an ordnance slot and costs 5 extra points

@@IONRadio It might not be as bad as I think, but not getting the rerolls on the red flak die feels just as bad on the recusant as it would on the muni. Also, DTT is definitely not +.75 on one shot, that would be if you didn't have to cancel a die. The math isn't super easy, but intuitively it seems like DTTs are slightly better on any one attack (you can fish for the 1/8 double hit with no risk) and generally worse when making multiple attacks.

You are 100% correct. I left out a factor in my calculation- removing a non-blank die. Thank you for pointing that out! Even if the math was the same - you would still only lose out on ,28 damage. I do however agree that flak would change - however LTT still works the same way for flak on the Recusant. So that hasn’t changed. You just lose out on the .28 damage potential versus ships.

There are a number of upgrades that would be neat for campaign only play.

That's evil. I like it. Too bad the Gladiator does not have a turbolaser slot. :(

Work great on venators no? And MC30...

@IONRadio Bad memory, and ive not used Glads in a while 😄

Rebels should be a bit daring and reckless. That's EXACTLY what this is. If you have the points, stick Keyan Farlander in there.

@@asinglegreatarmada1998 I might have the points now! 😁

LTT should have been broken up into 2 cards (personal opinion). One for the squadron effect and one for Red rerolls against ships. When it first came out, it seemed too powerful for a single card. Too early for me to see what I think about the change, however to be fair I'm a DTT fan, so there is bias. I got the impression that card text could not be changed too much for this update. That would also explain why we did not see a change to Luke or Vader (TIE Advanced). - Ken

I very much agree, LTT shouldn't have been changed

Think you're missing the point of the change a little. The change was intentionally targeted at the GCW factions to bring them in line with the clone wars factions and design. The ships were never intended to have the upgrade, and it completely shut down the slot and other upgrades like DTTs that did the similar. This change is really healthy for the game, even if it's controversial. Nobody likes it when prevalent/meta things are reigned in; and we've lived with LTTs for years. And there's still great options out there; rebels love turbo laser reroute circuits, and agate lets them get it on some weird ships like the MC80s. I don't think it's the death knell of the faction at all, and a lot of their big ships got hefty discounts

@@hirmetrium1 "intentionally targeted at the GCW factions to bring them in line with the clone wars factions and design" ..what is that supposed to mean? clone wars factions are no different to GCW ones in their core. On contrary, clone wars stuff is much cheaper for what it brings (Recusant, Venator, ARCs,...) so why would GCW factions needed to be brought in line? CW factions might not have many upgrades, but those unique to them are broken as all hell (Mercy mission, thermal shields, Tranquility, Anakin delta)....

Stacking faceup effects can be devastating to any ship, and just the right random faceup effect can determine the winner in a close game. I've always loved XX9's

I’ve also ran it. People get really confused about not being able to contain.

Slaved turrets!

I feel bad for all players, it is basically a useless card now...

@ yeah GCW will have to use alternative turbos now.

I'm sad for the recusant support destroyer as well...LTT was so good on that thing! Munis are still happy at least

Lots of rumors, but nothing concrete. We did ask Dennis, but if there is a change coming he is not letting on about it.

@ AMG being a tease

I never thought of them as being overpriced, however I do see Dennis' point on cost relative to other ships in the faction. Some things the Gladiator does better, other things an ISD does better. The point reduction should see the Arquitens on the table a little more.

Yeah sorry lol, that’s my bad on the gauntlets. I so rarely look at them that slipped out of my mouth.
