While I'd love game changing effects, I'm perfectly ok with it having multiple slots, such as the offensive retrofit to allow tractor beams and something else or just default them having beams. I'm expecting to see something eventually like the HWK where it can attack a little bit, but is even more purely a support ship.
At least that's how I'd expect any gravity well equipped ship to run in Armada.
This is how we did it on Shipyards:
Immobilizier much better looking than that derpy flathead rebels variant. ugh. and the giraffe heaad sar destroyers... like. wdf why?
The giraffe head is a sectoral variant: The "volunteer" labor working in the sector shipyards snuck that little "improvement" in to make them easier for the Rebs to kill.
I love the gravity well projector idea. Totally counter Mon Mothma and her MC-30/CR-90 ballet. Well thought out! O7
Multiple possible effects have been suggested for this ship.
The turn-adding one is certainly the most interesting off the bat, but also the least balanced and least likely to happen.
My personal favorite is a two-fold interpretation, or maybe two different titles that do two different things:
1.) Use the gravity well projector to, well... project gravity wells. You can place a special "Gravity Well" obstacle within distance five rather than attacking.
2.) Disrupt missile guidance systems. Enemy attacks with black dice are considered obstructed within distance 3 of the interdictor.
I'm genuinely curious to see where they land with this iconic ship.
Well in the Thrawn trilogy Interdictors were used to take ships out of hyperspace and into combat with great accuracy. I don't think such a mechanic would be game breaking. Also in the deployment phase an interdictor could make an area not available for deploying ships.
I don't like the idea of gravity well being an upgrade. An interdictor with no gravity well is not an interdictor. Maybe they could have 1 type of gravity wells as standard and pay for upgraded versions.

I think gravity well tokens are very likely to happen, interdictor cruiser will be able to place lets say1/ 2 and star destroyer 2/4 of them for eample. We will get to see both i guess.
With Wave 2 official release already behind us i think we will see Wave 3 anouncement within a week.
Edited by MicroscopAlso, for those Interesting in the Rebels Interdictor recently depicted:
I'm happy enough witht he shape of the Interdictor in Rebels. I'm unhappy with the displayed capabilities of the GravWell generators.
Supposedly, a planet of any appreciable size projects a gravity shadow large enough to pull ships out of hyperspace. I can't think of any reason to crank it up higher than that, nor any reason to give it the *ability* to crank up higher than that. At some point, I would expect the ship to start bending itself.
But in Rebels, we say the generators cranked way, way higher than that. (under sabotague, I know) I've never seen a functioning starship have to fight to get clear of any planet's gravity well, but they were pulled in helplessly by the interdictor.
That quibble out of the way, I'm looking forward to putting these in my fleet. I've always liked them.

Interdictors have always had a flat-top bridge, though... at least, according to the artwork from the old WEG Star Wars RPG in the 90s, they did.

Yes but in that Rebels series they apparently felt the need to supersize the already pretty huge bridges of all the imperial ships. One look at the Star Destroyer in the first episode was enough for me to judge that the series was not for me...what lunatic came up with that idea. 
I just can't understand why people can be so hung up on something like that...
Perhaps we're disappointed by how much it fell short of its predecessor The Clone Wars.
Nah that can't be it, clone wars didn't get good until the 3rd season......

Ralph McQuarrie... He was the original concept artist for all 3 OT films. The entire look of Rebels is based off his artwork. Chopper is based off some of his original designs for R2, and Zeb is based on the concept art for wookies.
While the show has plenty of issues. The stylised look is an homage to his work, not an attempt to remake things like ISDs. It is a cartoon after all.
On a Repair command temporarily reduce the speed of all ships and squadrons within X range?
I'm guessing from what I've heard, haven't seen the episode yet or read those books. As a tech upgrade of some kind limited to that class, not a named ability restricted to a single ship. Could stack up to twice maybe. Probably long range, give Imperials a net to catch the tiny scum with.
Or medium actually, forcing rebels to stay at long or else be caught.
Oh there was a second page...
Edited by ladyjulianneI know this image is from Edge of the Empire and that it is not technically an interdictor but an Immobilizer Star Destroyer. But I found it interesting that the spanish site for Armada used this image as the main image for the game:
Also, as a reminder, the interdictor is now cannon thanks to Star Wars Rebels:
The Immoblizer 418 Interdictor Cruiser became canon as soon as Tarkin came out along with the CC-2200 Interdictor Cruisers that appeared in Rise of Darth Vader, and the CC-7700 Interdictor Frigates from the Rebellion PC game which appeared in a few Legends novels and got mentioned in the Essential Guide to Warfare.
And I haven't read Heir to the Jedi yet. (I'll probably start it this afternoon) but from what I've heard online it either outright confirms or at least strongly implies the existence of Interdictor Star Destroyers in the new canon. And I'm pretty sure that the ship in the image from the Spanish Armada site is the Interdictor Star Destroyer rather then the Immoblizer Interdictor Cruiser which was seen in rebels. The bridge tower in the image is definitely a Star Destroyer type.

That's a matter of opinion. IMO while the art quality got better in season 3 the story quality and the quality of the concepts they chose to focus episodes and arcs on started going downhill in season 3 and never stopped.
Edited by RogueCoronaI just watched the Rebels episode, and I have to say I'm a little confused, for two reasons:
First, the ship seems way bigger than previous depictions of the Interdictor (by which I mean the 600m Vindicator-based 418 cruiser, not the fugly ISD variant). It's around 5-6 times longer than an Arquitens-class which, though its size has never been officially given, was believed to be in the 200-250m range and is definitely larger than a 150m CR90. This would place it in the 900-1200m range, i.e. 150-200% of the 418's given size.
The shape is also somewhat different, with a distinctive trench along its spine and an angular bulge on its underside. Though I suppose those features could be ascribed to artistic license like the giraffey ISDs, or indicative of a test prototype, which would be consistent with the show.
It's entirely possible that FFG release this version of the Interdictor - as a Medium or Large ship, halfway between a VSD and an ISD.
That's what my Quotin' was Sayin' 
In a lot less detail, and with no reference to proper sources... no like for you!!!
Less Detail? I had Pictures!

...well, just one, really (the line drawing being the standard 418 model of course), and it gives no indication of relative size

What is the 200-250 meter estimate for the Arquitens based off of? Because I rewatched the Clone Wars episode the Arquitens first appeared in and from comparing its size to that of the Consulars it was in formation with I would say it was around 150 meters long, maybe 175.

The picture on the starwars.com site does show it next to a pair of Arquitens, which is much more helpful
My picture was from Starwars.com/Rebels. So Equally Relevant - plus, that is the line art reported to be from the "new" one.
So Star Wars itself is letting me down, is that what you're saying?
