Possible Titles for ISD & MC80?

By R22, in Star Wars: Armada

Let's get some titles going. For the Rebels Home One is an easy pick but what would it's ability be? Squadron buff of somesort? The other ship of same design I can recall is the Independence , which was known for being especially outfitted for communications and electronic warfare. ANy other MC80a/b titles out there?

For the wIMPS, the Devestator obviously--

(SIDE NOTE: Holy cow, I just realized, with the Tantive IV we'll have all the parts to reenact the opening sequence of ANH!)

--since it's Vader's first command in ANH, which ISDs were at Hoth? We'll need both ISD-I and ISD-II titles as well. And didn't Vader have a ISD squadron, perhaps a generic title from that?

After this has been out for awhile I want to get my group together and recreate the rebel fleet at th battle of endor

(I mean it's actually pretty small, like 2-3 Mon cal cruisers and a few neb-b frigates and maybe a dozen corvettes)

From the old Star Wars CCG:

Devastator

Conquest

*attempted to intercept Falcon in ANH

Stalker

*launched the probe droid that found the base on Hoth

Tyrant

*one of the blockade ships in battle of Hoth (hit by ion cannon)

Avenger

*Captain Needa's ship

Vengance

*part of Death Squadron, had extra TIE hangars

Accuser

*patrol ship

Chimera

*Grand Admiral Thrawn's flagship

Judicator

*Flavor text indicates latest upgrades

Thunderflare

*Flavor text indicates that hyperdrive is downgraded in favor of weaponry upgrades

Visage

*A survey vessel... maybe bonus to Navigation objectives?

Re-watch the science again while looking at the background ships. There were at least 3 home one equivalent ships closing on the bridge of the Executor after two Mon Cals were already destroyed by the death star. (look to the left of the screen)

There were many more ships than appeared on screen.

Back on topic

ISD : Avenger (Captain Needa' ship= speed boost) it's an imp 2

Devastator is an imp 1

The movie is pretty inconsistent but you can count around 9 mon cal cruisers, most of them in the background.

Yea rewatched it and I see what you guys are talking about now, be fore I thought they were transports

if I remember correctly vaders 1st flagship was an Impstar I, I am hoping for Avenger and Chimaera at some point.

I certainly think it will be interesting if Mon Remonda makes it as a title (it means the MC80b, the winged version would probably not be its own model)

Yeah, Mon Remonda is somewhat unique:

Since it is ship specific FFG would effectively be making a unique model only meant to be purchased once. Nevertheless, isn't the MC80 Home One variant the biggest MC? Would it be so bad if the Rebels got more large class ships, showing their diversity, say the Home One, Liberty, and Mon Remonda variants while the Imps only got the ISD?

That would leave smaller MCs for medium base ships and still leave the Imps the Vic and, eventually, the Interdictor, Lancer, and more. So while the Rebels would have more large ships, Armada is priced such that the Imperials would have more flexability since they'd have more medium base ships capable of being added to any given list -- whereas the Rebels could only bring one of their three big ships.

MC80:

  • Independance
  • Home One
  • Defiance

The Liberty is possible, but unlikely, as it was a different 'class' of MC80 (winged). My guess is FFG may hold off and try to eek a bit more money out of us and make a second release of the MC80 (as a winged ship).

What if home one had some sort of "concentrate all fire on the super star destroyer" buff? Allow friendlies to reroll dice if the target has already been shot at by Home One.

Wasn't Mon Remonda known for being the fleet carrier for elite squadrons? Rogue operated off of it. Maybe they'd have a squadron ability. Home One ... I have no idea. It's the fleet flagship. Buff for everybody?

And what on earth will Ackbar do? Maybe +1 to broadsides of all friendly ship attacks?

And what on earth will Ackbar do? Maybe +1 to broadsides of all friendly ship attacks?

NO Ackbar will do: “It’s a Trap!!”

The Defiance and Independence are likely, with the Independence as a no brainer given it's existence (and thus art) in the LCG.

Ackbar: if you shout "it's a trap", cancel one enemy die.

If you shout "concentrate all fire on that super star destroyer" all ships role one extra die against that target.

But seriously, FFG should release a soundboard of Ackbar to use while playing.

Mon Remonda just happened to carry Rogue/Wraith while on it's mission to destroy Zsinj it wasn't specifically designed to be a fleet carrier. I think a squadron ability would make sense though.

Im sure it won't happen but I would love to see the Virulence/Freedom/Errant Venture as a title for an ISD.

Give it the ability to take hits from red dice from nearby friendly ships. And I suppose it would be cross faction which is why I don't think we will see it, but a man can dream.

They are saving that for the "Aces" Pack so they have a repaint available :)

I hope they can find enough red paint

Maybe they can just print on demand a coupon for red paint with an Errant Venture title card.
