SOooo dat-news-today-oh-boy tells me all I need to know about buying some badass alternate source space ship toys for Marda.
I had been waiting around on FFG to add a whole bunches of cool new hotness... that is over for Boss.
How do you guys and gals feel about it... NOW?
I am forever apathetic.
Should I care that you are buying alternate source ships? 
While I probably know what you meant to ask, I probably remain apathetic there too, I quite enjoy playing Armada with what I have and would rather buy other games with the money I would spend on alternate ships.

I get that because a lot of folks just buy what is released. That is fine.
But... I at least wanted to see new squadron additions like TIE Defenders & K-WINGS... but yeah none of that is going to be made this year... just wow.
FFG I 
you guys for many reasons but today gets a great big (TINY) BOO!
... but have a nice day.
The size and scope of Wave 3 has minimum effect on the size and scope of my alternate source ship purchasing. It will however free up enough for another ISD or 3, so I can build towards recreating the Battle of Endor.
I have a Venator...I could honestly care less.
I may get an mk1 assault frigate from shapeways now.

Chris wanted us to be able to plat ROTJ Battles and we can... so on he goes to his next big $100 boxed game...
Yup, and most of us get it.

Yeah man we needs swarms of Z-95's, and suches...

In light of the general lack of proof reading in our tournament documents, I think here we have a blow up of the wording used in the announcement. "Its two expansions, the Imperial Assault Carriers Expansion Pack and the Rebel Transports Expansion Pack, introduce the "flotilla" to Armada."
Does this mean there are just two expansions or does this mean two expansion have "Flotilla"? I don't know, but the wording is ambiguous, so there is room for those squadrons or two other ships or nothing what so ever. I also think that a lot of the peeps that could correct this misunderstanding are away from their desks. I could speculate that the plan moving forward is one thing or another, but I expect that my personal bias and hopes would colour my expectations to such a point as it would be worthless. My bias has me hopeful at present, but I could be wrong.
If all we get are the two flotillas I am happy, there are cards and new things that turn what we have on its head. With what I don't spend on my plastic ships I'll be happy enough to but Dead of Winters' Expansion, Ashes of the Pheonix Born and a whole mess of games that will be seen on Tabletop that I just can't avoid but buy. Almost forgot World of Yo Ho, the game that has a board but uses smart phones as playing pieces, now that is just so messed up I have got to give it a try.
If they never release another ship for Armada, I will be happy. Sure, I'd like to see some other canon stuff like Interdictors and the Liberty style MC80, but I don't need a constant stream of new releases to keep me interested in the game. The game is good enough to do that all on it's own.
Frankly, I can't understand the fascination with always wanting more and more stuff released for a game. I'd much prefer a developer to release a good* amount, then draw a line under the game and say we're done.
Sorry I don't have a clue what this thread is about...?

There are other sources for Armada scaled models and you can add a lot of goodies to the fleets if you are willing to do more work on your own to finish these models and print out some cards or have them done at many good print shops.
You CAN make FFG comparable game stuff rather easily at home and such.
Ah right. Thanks.
