Fire When Ready: A new Star Wars Armada podcast

By Armada Jim, in Star Wars: Armada

Hello, everyone, I'm Jim and I've started my own podcast about Armada. Every episode I'm going to talk about current events, talk about tactics, ships, and everything else about this great game, and it always starts out with a section I like to call Admiral Ackbar's Armada Advice.

It's currently available via iTunes and RSS, and in the coming weeks it should be up on Stitcher and eventually Google Play (whenever that launches).

Give it a listen, and I hope you enjoy it!

Great show!

I’m guessing that you might want some feedback in addition to new listeners. So here’s my $0.02.

The audio quality is good and your delivery was on point.

The direct and concise commentary on the topics covered is appreciated and came across as very polished. I like this style of presentation.

The AAAA segment was funny. I want to hear what you come up with on these in future episodes.

I’m very much looking forward to your analysis of specific ships/squads/upgrades/tactics, etc.

I do have one big complaint about the show. It was too short!

Anyway, very promising first episode IMO. I hope you do a lot more of these.

Keep us informed as to progress in getting the various providers on board please.

I thought that was a great primee for new players. Well produced show, sound advice. Looking forward to future shows.

Sounds good man, keep up the good work.

Pretty good Podcast and like others have said looking forward to next episode

Do you plan on having guest speakers? I still want to hear ficklegreendice on a topic or 2.

Good show. Keep cranking them out!

Great work look forward to the next one !

2nd episode, "Corvettes and TIE Fighters" is up, and you'll never guess what I talk about in it! Enjoy!

Enjoyed the show! TRCRs are incredibly powerful as you say, and I too, avoid ion-powered CR90s because the crits are never there when you need them. One thing though - I don't think Enhanced armaments are worth the cost on a CR90. It's nice, but not 10-points-on-a-4-hull-ship nice.

I wouldn't get caught up in that price percentage. In wave 1 an EA flanking corvette surpised more than one of my opponents. Nowadays though, I can't see taking it over the far more efficient TRC.

I mostly agree! I don't like piling upgrades on a ship that's really points efficient on its own, and even the TRCR is pricey for my taste, but if you're going to do it, they're both good upgrades depending on what your playstyle is and what role the CR90 plays in your list.

Ratings would be HIGH that episode.

Will give it a listen soon. I'm already sold on the under 20 minute length...I love IFF but I don't think I could handle a second 3 hour long podcast!

We could always make a podcast. . .

Great job, I enjoyed it and have subscribed.

Finished the ep, great job. I would recommend anyone getting into the game give your podcast a listen, because you do a great job marrying basic information about the units with advanced strategy.

The only thing, and this is nit-picky, is you mention using EA and TRC on the same CR90. Which would not be legal, as they are both Turbolaser upgrades.

You're absolutely right, and I have no idea how that got in there. I'll have to edit it out at some point so I don't sound as stupid.

Listened to the first podcast during work today - Very enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing more :)

Oh man...I wish I had the time...

This is like Armada NPR. I'm absolutely ok with that. Haha

It's well polished and on point. Good work.

Great podcast! I hadn't realized that collisions allow for overlapping the move template.
