Hi,

Im receiving a Gladiator tomorrow and whilst a lot of people have been talking about the Victory SD, I was wondering what I should be looking at to go with my Gladiator. Id like to field 2 eventually and was wondering what crew etc I should be looking at using.

You'll have to let us know how it plays. I don't think it's "off the boat" for the rest of us.

Don't remember the cards off hand, but I recall wanting to add extra black dice to the side batteries and getting them to shoot out to medium range from behind a target. Maybe add a nav officer so you can really slingshot the destroyer out into the reb fleet?

Something like:

Pretty nasty. And you can get a weapons officer in there, too.

First of all you are obligated to fandom to post scanned cards.

Thank you for your cooperation

Back to your question: The Gladiator is a faster and more manoeuverable ship than Victory. No one has seen the final version of cards yet, so my knowledge is based on preview articles: The Demolisher title is a beast, you also probably want to upgun it with AC Missiles or expanded launchers. You can also make it even more faster with Engine Techs. Many people are going to use more expensive, G-II version because of its better anti-squadron armament but I prefer the cheaper one, at least theoretically.

How can you get it so early? Where do you live?

found the container, and used a crowbar?

Surprised your just getting the gladiator and not all the other wave 1 ships/squadrons

This is the real reason why the dock workers went on strike, they wanted to get first dibs on Armada stuff.

I've never seen a liar on the internet.

Internet is 100% trust zone. Guaranteed.

I haven't picked up Armada yet but the Gladiator is of interest to me. This is a great setup!

Post pics of the yet-unspoiled cards or it didn't happen! Does this mean wave 1 is out in Australia?

Oooooh that's just a backstabbing evil piece of work isn't it?

I love it.

It kinda makes me think of an overgrown Phantom with that setup.

I think I'd prefer it with the other title, the "one of your attacks can be made after moving"

you could straight one-shot a corvette with that attack

That's some fine Armada grade relative scale at work right there, haha!

What does that Engine Tech card actually mean? I take it that you spend a Navigate token, but does this now mean you have the full manoeuvrability of a Speed 1 action including turns?

I dont know if this means you

- do a full movement at speed one

- OR do a full movement at your current speed minus one.

Also im not sure about the "cost:". Does that mean that when you use this card you replace the effect that you would normaly resolve when you resolve a navigation command dial or token ?

The "speed-1" part should mean a full movement of speed one.

The cost part is explained on page 5 of the Rules Reference document (Effect Use and Timing):

"Effects with a command icon as a header, such as “M:,” can be resolved once while the ship is resolving the matching command."

So you can do a Navigate command, move normally, then Engine Tech kicks in and you move again, correct?

If you played x-wing it is same as boost pretty much

If not it means when you resolve a navigate command And perform a move (let's say it start speed 2 bumps to max speed 3) you may then make an additional move at speed 1 ( for a total of speed 4 plus extra turning even though max speed is 3)

The card doesn't say a +1 Speed though, just that you complete a Speed 1 maneuver, so it wouldn't go to speed 4, especially if the ship couldn't go that fast. So could a SD move at speed 2 taking a turn at the end of it, the card then kicks in and the ship moves 1 and then has the option of another turn as its allowed to do so according to the ships card.

You still get the full effect of your command dial, plus what is mentioned on the Engine Tech card. It does not replace the Navigate command.

Agreed, I think the syntax just got reversed on the card. If you see the main rulebook on pages 17 & 18 where they have examples of ship overlapping, they refer to ships moving at 2-speed or 1-speed maneuvers (as it relates to their movement charts).

I think the intent for the card was to be 1-speed, but it got flip-flopped in the write-up to be speed-1 (thus causing confusion).

I can't imagine it meaning (current speed - 1) as that would open up a whole new can of worms about the math of various speeds (like current speed 1 - 1 = 0, so I don't get to do a maneuver? etc. etc.)

But that doesn't mean I'm right. It could very well mean (current speed - 1). It'll be up to FFG to definitively clarify it.

Yeah, and I'm the magic man from happy land, with a gumdrop house on lollipop lane.

By the way I was being sarcastic.
