BTW dudes, if you guys have iTunes, please throw us a review, will ya?

Let us know what you'd like to hear next episode! I've been mulling over a new-player centric episode, maybe even out of the regular circulation. Thoughts?

The crew members mourn the figurative loss of their beloved engineering chief Lobrad. (Spoiler Alert: He's not dead and just took an episode off.) In addition, Easy, Skyshuffler, Dano and DT all traveled varying differences to attend more Store Championships! Find out what they brought and how it flew in this exciting episode of Intensify Forward Firepower!

You drop this as I'm getting up to go to bed. What am I supposed to do now? Stay up all night listening to you clowns?

*grabs headphones*

Thank you IFF crew for your work!

I enjoy these a lot.

Woot, tomorrows commute just got better!

As a new player I'd certainly be interested in a "new-player centric episode" ;)

The Flesh Star Destroyer returns....

I really just shuddered saying that....

The Flesh Star Destroyer never left. It's always with you. You could almost say the Flesh Star Destroyer is inside all of us.

Our first episodes are newish player centric.

On the other hand...one doesn't learn fire is hot because they were told it was. One learns fire is hot by putting their own hand in the fire. Meaning? Go off and make some mistakes of your own, THEN you will have a better pool of questions to ask and more appreciative of the answers given back. You definitely learn from your own mistakes, than others' mistakes.

Don't race to the end of Mastering the game. Enjoy the process.

Wise Words.

The Master has failed more times than the Beginner has tried.

Do or do not. There is no try.

Steve. The imagery is not appealing. Mother of God.

Man, I'm gonna have this Tatooed in an uncomfortable place...like in the backseat of a Volkswagon.

Hmm player centric. Like to understand a bit more what that means. Questions from the peanut gallery? Suggestions for topics?

Waxing poetic for a moment....

Suggestions:

About time for another FFG interview?

Regionals Coverage - (Maybe some user submitted material could be arranged from here and there around the country)

April Fools Episode: Try to come up with the absolute worst list(s) possible..... (and make Steve play them out on twitch)

Ultimate Combos

Episode : Alliteration Proliferation - If you had to take ships of all the same type for a list, (Glads, MC30s, Nebs, CR90s...) what would they be?

I'm sure I can think of plenty more....

Sweet! I like tgall's idea, you should take the worst list you can come up with.

My vote:

EMPIRE FLEET (397 points)

1 • Imperial II-class Star Destroyer - Director Isard - Gunnery Team - Expanded Hangar Bay - Cluster Bombs - Slaved Turrets - Devastator (156)

2 • Victory II-class Star Destroyer - Admiral Ozzel - Admiral Chiraneau - Gunnery Team - Expanded Hangar Bay - Slaved Turrets (133)

3 • Victory II-class Star Destroyer - Admiral Montferrat - Gunnery Team - Expanded Hangar Bay - Slaved Turrets (108)

4 • Objectives - Advanced Gunnery - Fleet Ambush - Superior Positions (0)

Considering my dinner date may cancel yet again. I may be there!

Gunnery Team.... Slaved Turrets

It's so crazy it just might work!

I wouldn't play a crap list like that for you, me OR science.

Best you go back from whence you came...under the bridge. I'll take another route. /grin

Another great listen. ........ When the next episode coming? :P

Can't say I would either.

In seriousness think the Alliteration Proliferation idea might have merit as that route. On the Imperial side, if you're putting together 3 Glads, you're probably not going to kit them all out the same. Least I wouldn't. I'd want to build it such that they're going to be able to support and compliment each other.

Triple MC30 likewise seems like it ought to be both viable and fun, but I always feel like I'm just on the edge of being able to make that one work.

Maybe it's the draw of black dice and getting in close for the brawl which Glads seem to do very well at.

I got a shout out. My life is so happy.

Now that I finally finished the episode...

Yeah...right.
