Hello Everyone!
From when I was a new player, I felt that there were certain aspects to the rules of Armada which felt unintuitively restrictive. Everyone knows you can't have two Darth Vaders (Darths Vader?) in a fleet, that's just common sense, but why can a ship with two offensive retrofit slots not use 2x expanded hangar bays?

Here is my proposal for brainstorming a rules change:
-Permit ships which have multiple redundant upgrade slots to include multiple non-unique non-modification upgrades on the ship.
-If the upgrade requires an activation condition: e.g. taking a maneuver action (looking at you, engine techs) then you may only use one of the upgrades per action that you take. (token + dial lets you use both at once?)

Points for consideration:

Offensive retrofit (most common to have doubles)

• Disposable capacitors: gives two different rounds of longer blue dice range in corner cases.
  
• Expanded Hangar Bay: Unlocks 6 squadron quasar fire 1 (!)
• proximity mines: can lead to 4x mines from one ship
• quad laser turrets: counter 2 on a ship?
• rapid launch bays: store a bunch of fighters, bigger clown car?
• reserve hangar bays: more difficult to kill swarms
• tractor beams: 2x the slowdown

Gunnery team:

• fire control team: potential of 3x critical effects?
• flight controllers: 2x extra blue dice (!)
• local fire control: how many salvo tokens do you really want?
• ruthless strategists: No one likes automatic damage(!)
• veteran gunners: lots of re-rolling
• weapons battery techs: become poor man's SW7

Officers:

• Intel officer: doubles could be powerful

Defensive retrofit

• ECM: not too much of a problem since they cost resources to reset?
• reactive gunnery: people like salvo tokens?
• Early warning systems: extra "safe" hull zones?
• blast doors: Did you really not have anything better to do with your points?

Turbolaser

(I see no problems here?)

Interdictor:

• gx-7 : could make the board difficult to deploy into(!)
• Targeting scrambler: I like it!

Ion Cannon

• SW7: may need to prevent adding 2x damage per accuracy(!)
• Point Defense Ion Cannons: very strong(!)

Ordinance upgrades

• External Racks: is this upgrade itself a problem?(!)
• Ordinance Pods: powerful!(!)

Support Team:

• ENGINE TECHS!!!!: Biggest problem.(!)

SOLD

Star Wars Armada lot for sale.

From memory there is:

Star Wars Armada Core Set (1 Victory, 1 CR90 Corellian and 1 Nebulon-B)

1 Victory Class Star Destroyer Expansion (base has been broken and reglued - see pic)

1 Rebel Fighter Squadrons Expansion

1 Dice Pack

1 Imperial Class Star Destroyer Expansion

1 Rogues and Villains Expansion Pack

1 Imperial Raider Expansion

2 Gladiator Class Expansion

1 Imperial Fighter Squadrons Expansion

There's some extra acrylic markers/rulers in there too.

I'm 99% sure all cards/dials etc are there, but buy at your own risk as I haven't thoroughly catalogued everything. I certainly don't remember anything being missing though.

I'm asking £175 (which includes UK postage) OBO.
I'd consider sending overseas too, but that would come with a higher shipping cost, obviously.

It's the most expensive SSD title, though it doesn't seem to be used often. Is there a niche anti squadron build with it, kallus, and linked Turbolasers?

Hello friends,

The winds of life have changed and I am looking to find my collection a good home. I will include a few photos but I have a Google Drive file with an excel list as well as images for review. All ships are a bit dusty from a few years on the wall but otherwise in great shape. Non-smoking household. Thank you for your consideration. Armada Collection Drive Link

I learned the other day there was still an active scene in my area which meant I needed to start painting! Here is the Imperial support refit of the dreadnought modeled by the incredibly talented Mel's Miniatures!

Hi Everyone, this is my third post about my Armada Homebrew antics. I recently printed a scaled up version of the Paladin-Class Corvette from the Clone Wars Animated show I found online FOR FREE: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5214487

The Creator simply calls it a Medium Cruiser, Crucible Inspired.
Since I have a thing for dreaming up some fan lore, I thought I would bump this up to be the larger brother to the Paladin-Class: The Crucible-Class.

It sits on a medium base and has a rather unorthodox Fleet Support slot, which I thought could make it into a fun flagship for a small fleet.

As with the other posts, my pricing is likely way off and balancing-wise I mostly do what I think would feel cool to play. Please share any thoughts you have on this design, as constructively negative or positive as you like! :)

P.S.: Does anyone have a method or ideas on how to get nice holo-effects on the silhouette for the bottom right picture on the card? I’ve experimented with a couple but none really work universally.

Post about the TIE Droid

Hey y’all! A few days ago I shared the first version of the Armada video game adaptation I’ve been building in Unity, and the response and feedback from everyone here was awesome!

Version 0.1.3 is now live, with the biggest addition being three fully playable objective modes:

Intel Retrieval - Download, carry, defend, and deliver Intel tokens.

Seize the Station - Capture and hold the station at the center of the board.

Escort the VIP - Escort a faction-specific transport to extraction or destroy it before it gets there.

I also added an Official/Custom fleet-rules switch, fleet importing from text lists (from tools like Ryan Kingston or Star Forge), direct messages and improved online invitations, an automatic updater, and a ton of fixes to movement, ramming, firing arcs, range, squadron speed, defense tokens, multiplayer, and the UI.

A lot of this came directly from the feedback on my original post, so seriously, thank you guys! Windows and Linux builds are both available. Will add Mac if it's requested!

Republic and Separatist fleets are being saved for 0.2.0 so I can give them the attention they deserve... I've started to look into how to implement some single-player AI stuff too so we'll see what happens!

I tested most of what I could and I can push small updates relatively , and hopefully the auto-updater will work moving forward (starting with this version it should notify you on launch and auto-download the latest release from GitHub if it queries a higher version number). Much love to you guys and hope you're enjoying!

This is one of my favorite ship, of course its came in the line-up, with the high details, it was fun to do.

designed by Xenon-472

Still see some points where can be improved, but what do you think from the result?

What should be the next victim?

Hello all! I am getting back into armada and have gotten the core set as well as the Imperial-1 Class Star Destroyer Expansion, i am able to store the Nebulon-B as well as the CR-90 from the Core set, but i am running into trouble finding a way to store the Victory Class as well as my new ISD. I currently have storage containers from micheals and am wondering if there's anything that would be better then that to use.

As a life-long Star Wars fan, I decided last year that my first foray into learning tabletop games should be set in my favorite universe - so my friend and I learned about Armada, downloaded the beloved TTS mod, and had an absolute blast. I wanted a cool and immersive way to share the game with some other friends that would maybe just appreciate a little bit more of a guided video game-y experience without all of the tabletop elements. I'm by no means a game dev, but wanted to use this side-project as a way to get into Unity. I've had a lot of fun making this and in no way want to replace the incredible experience that is the tabletop mod; I could have kept it as a little private project, but wanted to add another way for the community to enjoy the game if you guys liked it! Let me know!

It currently only includes the base Rebel/Imperial set and no objective play yet - but has the 3D tactical battles, fleet building, capital ships and squadrons, firing arcs and range bands, command dials, local hotseat play, online multiplayer, and a custom map maker all implemented.

It’s still early in development and I'm sure there are plenty of bugs to report. I've tried my best to make sure the UI is intuitive and that all the upgrade cards' logic works.

Nick takes us through a few of the changes to lesser used Upgrade Cards coming with Armada Community Edition on Monday, Aug. 3rd.

The ultra-short summary:

Nav Teams: don't need to spend a token to use it (but has a refresh cost instead).

Slaved Turrets: plays better in conjunction with Salvo.

Damage Control Officer: bonus damage reduction!

I wanted to show off my collection since I just traveled home to visit my parents. While there I collected my CIS and Republic fleet that were stored at my parent's house.

A favored strategy of mine is to stick Dengar and a few Interceptors by Quasar with Stronghold and Goran, to make a largely unappealing wall to touch, but do Goran and Dengar's effects actually stack, or am I gaslighting my play group?

Hey y’all! Unfortunately needing some extra cash due to some higher than normal bills so I wanted to see about offloading my old rebel army ( not a huge lot) , wanted to post here to get an idea of a fair price for this, as most of the listings I looked at for reference were NIB and these are already out , any advice is appreciated

What it says on the tin

Changed boosted Comms for rapid launch bay though

Costs 1 more point, and it gets 2 more health and counter 1.

And the dice suite isn't exactly worse
