    I love good ole ISD. Iconic, tanky, and huge.

  • @reighzhor1058
    @reighzhor1058 4 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    The Malevolence is the only ship I can think of that would have 2 Ignition arcs at base (giant ion cannon on each side, don'tcha know).

    • @Nerd_752
      @Nerd_752 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The venator can be upgraded with a close range ignition

  • @mbm8404
    @mbm8404 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thrawn’s ISD the Chimaera is my favorite ship in Star Wars Armada. Like a regular ISD but an awesome paint job on both top and bottom!

  • @Twuggus
    @Twuggus 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The ONLY upside to being in Australia and having to wait a few more weeks for armada waves is watching Crabboks videos that explain and break down all the new ships.

  • @tristandecker6473
    @tristandecker6473 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I really like the gladiator. The ability to move first and then shoot is clutch.

  • @vdub1962
    @vdub1962 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Thank you for doing these videos. I have learned so much and get the game played a lot more as a result. My favorite ship right now is the interdictor.

    • @JKSSubstandard
      @JKSSubstandard 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Interdictor has some mean synergy with the onager. Use grav wells to herd enemy ships to the onagers suoerweapon

  • @RagnarTheGrey
    @RagnarTheGrey 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I can tell you that my favorite ship currently available in Armada is the SSD. But, I haven't played Armada. As a matter of fact I only just got into Legion. But I will probably pick up Armada as a side game once Venators and other Republic boats come to bear.
    Not to mention, how awesome it will be to fight a Lucrehulk on the tabletop.

  • @SJ-zd4wy
    @SJ-zd4wy 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thank you so much Crabbok, you have really helped guide what kind of ships I have gotten in armada. I really am a big fan of a Kuat Star Destroyer loaded up with Thrawn and the Chimera. Maybe that can be a list idea

  • @klinktastic
    @klinktastic 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    So I found a co-worker who likes star wars. We're going to start playing Armada during lunch! Super pumped!

  • @Atlasavenger
    @Atlasavenger 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The SSD is hands down my favorite ship. I will forever be including it in my list I dont care how chunky it is lol!

  • @michaelstackhouse5056
    @michaelstackhouse5056 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    VSD has been pulling its weight for me so far, but the gladiator is really pulling my attention.

  • @MATTSMYBUD
    @MATTSMYBUD 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So excited to start using ignition attacks! Thanks for the explanation Crabbok!

  • @Russellbanks77
    @Russellbanks77 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey Crabbok. Thanks as ever for a great instructional vid. Was scratching my head on this very topic so perfect timing.
    Also love the bloopers at the end 😜

  • @reignman2263
    @reignman2263 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The ships I love:
    Playability in Armada: Arq's
    Just in general: ISD

    • @nathanneugard6276
      @nathanneugard6276 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have been tinkering with a regular ISD I. With all the new cards, I've really come up with some cool combinations. The ISD is still my second favorite after SSD. Long live the Empire!

  • @SoontirFel
    @SoontirFel 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    MC-80 Liberty is my favorite! So cool and so powerful

  • @Varatrix

  • @thrindalsgameroom6550
    @thrindalsgameroom6550 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have to say right now the Arquitens is probably my favorite ship but its hard to not go for the ISD. I also have to say I am having fun running a Raider in my lists with Corvus and Iden, that combo makes the Raider so fun to play and much more viable in lists.

  • @benjaminbailey595
    @benjaminbailey595 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love it. Getting mine this month. My favorite ship so far is the Interdictor.

  • @blakeyort1984

    The Interdictor is my favorite! I love its model design.

  • @cameronseverin7111

    Thank you so much Crabbok, you are so helpfull for all of us. This video really help me to learn more about armada.
    Other then that i just wanted to ask where do i see who's won the give away.
    Love your channel, more dakka for the Empire.

    Ignition sounds really cool, I can't wait to see how the starhawk fairs in our little games, it's been delayed in Britian 😔.
    Nebulon b frigate is my favourite, idk why probably since played roger squadron and changing into an A wing on the second level I think Haha.

  • @Herothomps1
    @Herothomps1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    This video reminded me how much I'm looking forward to putting an Onager on the table next week. As far as my favorite ship in Armada, the announcement of the Chimaera expansion convinced me to get into the game. I'll play anything representing that sweet, sweet ISD artwork.

  • @andrewadent4733
    @andrewadent4733 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My favorite ship in armada? Interdictor. So many tricks up it's sleeve. So flexible with it's positioning, attacking, commands. Can be a tank or a support or give it some extra dice, or give it carrier abilities...
    Plus moving obstacles around is like one of the best and most fun things ever. can drastically change the game when used well.

  • @MrZanreth1

  • @jonathonfreeman9233
    @jonathonfreeman9233 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    one general note you discounted regarding the orbital bombardment's splash damage
    yes:: easy to avoid by other player
    however:: forcing the player to adopt a specific strategy means you can build out the rest of the build to exploit forced strategies
    so yeah, bad to build a fleet solely around this super weapon's splash damage, but relying on the enemy to avoid it and play into your hands is the real strength (stupid long extreme range aside)

  • @jamesnewsom9895

  • @reavern
    @reavern 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great informative video. Ignition Attacks work very differently than how I expected the Onager to work, but I think FFG made the right choice for game balance.
    Also, both the Onager and Starhawk are sold out at all of board game shops in my area. Presumably FFG will have restocks ready to ship soon - for those of interested in buying multiples. Also, did anyone else get the Imperial Light Cruiser (Arquitens) restocks? I picked up a few, and they’re sold old again.

  • @jonbasel7090
    @jonbasel7090 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    This will change up my game like crazy. Probably my favorite ship is Imperial Star Destroyer!

  • @briantoomey8809
    @briantoomey8809 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm huge fan of both the arq and vic
    Alot of people gave up on the vic until harrow but I've lived it from day one and have found ways to boost it to have better guns than the isd2 and maybe even the a starhawk

  • @joshbowser7589
    @joshbowser7589 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the explanation. I wonder if they will include the Separatist ship Malevolence in the clone wars content. That seems like an ideal candidate for using the ignition mechanic.

  • @Khether0001
    @Khether0001 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    _"When it says 'Damage' you can choose where you want it to go"_
    I thought you would always have to take it on the attacked hull zone. Cool!

    • @Crabbok
      @Crabbok  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This boils down to how it's worded. Sometimes damage will say "Defending hull zone", other times it'll say "Defender". When it's Defender, they get to choose.

    • @1mdawn
      @1mdawn 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Crabbok so does that mean the the crit still counts as 1 hit as well as the modification makes it take a additional damage?

  • @jeangiraldo5332

  • @edhamilton9829
    @edhamilton9829 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the explanation, I was wondering about when the target ship is between the onager and the ignition token...wasn’t totally clear between line of sight to target hull zone vs distance from the token. Ver clear now, thanks. Favorite ship is the MC75 !

  • @kylekatarn8823
    @kylekatarn8823 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @gorycarcass2272

    Of all my ships so far: The MC 80 Home one variant.

  • @jonnyparker9914
    @jonnyparker9914 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    In all honestly, I'm a big fan of the victory-class, mostly because of the crimson command and how cool the idea of an orbital-bombard-and-run unit. Also I think better looking than the ISD

  • @paulhein9050
    @paulhein9050 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm guessing the potential for multiple ignition attacks per ship might be foreshadowing the possibility of the Malevolence coming out at some point in the future when we get clone wars era armada.

  • @geerstyresoil3136

    My favorite ship as been the Star hawk since the after maybe comic

  • @mikenapier3598
    @mikenapier3598 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My personal favorite ship....has got to be the mc75. I always try to make it work as the point in the spear(followed by a assualt frigate and gr75s) in my ackbar fleet. Fun to fly, but when I get that starhawk we will see.

  • @tallgeese1953
    @tallgeese1953 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    If I had to choose one to call my favorite, it would be the Arquitens light cruiser.

  • @clarencesmith7131
    @clarencesmith7131 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a new phrase for my Onager "Radical Redical Crits"! I have to say my favorite is the Interdictor, I love to use its abilities to frustrate my opponent's moves.

  • @alexgloor7414
    @alexgloor7414 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ignition is an interesting mechanic. Would love to see how it develops in future and how Rebel ships might get to use it

    • @JKSSubstandard
      @JKSSubstandard 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I doubt the rebels get it. But the other use is likely the mulificent from the cis in clone wars. It's a side arc superweapon. We know clone wars is coming at the end of this year allegedly. So in the coming years I can absolutely see that ship coming with clone wars.

  • @Invaderscooge42
    @Invaderscooge42 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Imperial Star Destroyer will always be my favorite.

  • @smac0010
    @smac0010 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The only ship that i can think of the would use 2 ignition arcs would be the malevolence with it's massive ion cannons

  • @dococ3272
    @dococ3272 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The mc80 (liberty) Endeavor! General Dodo commander cuz I just put a nav crew for the maneuverability, gunner team of course some other bells and whistles, and it is just nasty.
    My kiddo loves his chimaera, I needed something to contend and haven’t even looked at other ships since..
    I don’t even want a home one anymore, and Ackbar the shit and all, but now I just want more corvettes to support this monster. No wonder the empire blasted it first in RotJ!!

  • @J.B.90
    @J.B.90 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Maybe the Malevolence will come out for CIS and have and have a left and right firing arc for its super weapon.

  • @NicolasCaron

    @yizhang5455 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    shall I determine if obstructed by measuring from the ignition token or the yellow spot on my ship?

  • @Warrickomega
    @Warrickomega 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Favourite Ship I love: Hrm... Rebels side I like the MC80 (Home One) , Imperials I like the Chimera , though the Onager and te Nadiri might rapidly take up those roles when they arrive. (COME ONNNNNN AMAZZZZZZZOOOON)

  • @rodento3220
    @rodento3220 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My favorite ship is the ISD. Sorry to say that as I play my Onager I find that the Ignition attack is very easily dodged and almost never comes into play. Perhaps if the arc was wider maybe. But the area of effect is so small that a Navigation token or dial is enough to slip right past it. It was cool idea but needed more play testing. Unless your opponent wants to be hit you are never hitting anything with it.

  • @TheRizMeister
    @TheRizMeister 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @Crabbok
      @Crabbok  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Works the same, just uses the side arcs instead of the front ignition arc.

    Its like making me choose a child, lol. Arquitens and ISD Cymoon have to be my favorites, though the Onager is worming its way into my heart quickly.
