How comes most of X-Wing cards get spoiled before the release but for Armada Wave 1 we barely know any of them?
I will buy 1 of each, but I would like to know if I want to ship cost to know if I order a 2nd Gladiator and a 2nd Mark II.
Edit: I hate it when I type extra words for no reason in my post due to fatigue.
Edited by WildhornWell, if FFG spoiled everything, we'd get a bunch of complaints that there were no surprises. Also, if you look at the second preview news item for each of them, the cards are mostly spoiled.

May the Forth Be With You.
Edited by BeattyUmm those things have been spoiled for awhile.
Did you not take a look before posting?

I mean ALL the cards in each expansion.
Like the CR90 comes with 8 upgrade cards but only 4 are spoiled.

I am the kind that want to know them all

You should see the complaint thread (on the X-Wing forum) from the folks who want surprises. You know, there's never a Thunderdome around when you need one.
Edited by DarthSidiousI'm in this boat as well, it'd be fun to see some new shinies now, and make the wait less dreadful.
Yeah I saw the complain on X-Wing forum. I understand it, being spoiled all the sutff 6 months in advance is not fun. But I like to have all the stuff spoiled when the release get very close (https://plus.google.com/110579177738865419134/posts/EsvFG5UZ88m).

Maybe the other 4 are duplicates of ones already spoiled? I.e I would be stoked if there were multiple x-17 turbo lasers in the frigate pack as they are nasty against VSD's
As much as I would love to know, I think at this point it would be more gratifying to wait. I hope there's some crazy upgrades that I open up and go "Wait, what? No! This can't do all that! Can it? What? Ooooh snap! Excited giberish! Nonsense words! Cackle giggle snort!"

So much this
The Neb needs to have at least 2 X-17s so I can run them all without leaving the poor core set Neb feeling awkward

Exactly, given that we already have at least one corvette and one frigate, it would make a lot of sense to have 2 upgrade cards in each pack to allow us to fit them both out. FFG is already doing this with the tie advanced in the raider set, putting 4 of the targeting computer upgrades in with it.

Or were you talking about some metaphorical boat?
I dunno, I feel sorta the same as the OP.
Not only has a lesser percentage of cards been spoiled (than is typical in X-Wing previews) but it seems like the cards that have been revealed are mostly faction-specific ones. The generic upgrades remain mysteries.
Armada has far more faction specific cards than X-wing by default
And by default, I mean that every capital ship has multiple titles and we can't use any ship cross-faction 
Personally I hate surprises, and find the idea of pre-ordering without knowing box contents utter madness!
I get where the X-Wing players are coming from, when articles have spoiler all these really cool new ideas which most of us won't get to use for 6 months whilst we wait for product. But a nice big article 2-3 weeks before a release date to show us all the cool stuff we should be ordering really wouldn't go amiss for keeping up my interest and surely driving FFG's sales, or has Armada already been written off as the red-headed step child of Star Wars gaming?
You know, it's funny, I remember just a couple weeks ago all the complaint threads on the X-Wing forum because of all of the news and previews for Armada and Imperial Assault, while there hadn't been been any news for X-Wing in a long time. 
and surely driving FFG's sales
I doubt that spoilers would have much impact on sales. At this point, if there was a card that may increase sales those are the ones that FFG would of spoiled.
They know what they're doing, so if we don't know about a given card, then it's not going to be a very big deal. That said, they always leave at least 1 card unspoiled in every X-Wing expansion pack, and it seems they did much the same with Imperial Assault so far.
or has Armada already been written off as the red-headed step child of Star Wars gaming?
No, it's just that they've already spoiled everything they wish to, and are like the rest of us waiting for stuff to get into stores.
