Call me stupid, but I just noticed this...

By ianediger, in Star Wars: Armada

So in the Wave 3 announcement page, under the Gozanti, it states

​Of the expansion's 8 upgrades, half of them bear the Fleet Support Icon.

Now, for some reason I thought that expansion's referred to both the Gozanti and the GR75.

But as the title just states, I just realized that ​each​ of the expansions, the Gozanti and the GR75, both have 4 Fleet Support upgrades. Until now, I thought that there was 4 across the entire wave. So we have seen less than half of the new upgrade type.

And here I thought that we had 75% of the new upgrade locked down already...

There might be some overlap between the two, so it might not be 8 distinct upgrades.

I honestly think we shouldn't speculate until we have cards/builds hitting the table...we really don't know how it's all gonna react.

I also realized that Ian. I'm sure there will be some overlap, but I expect ~6 distinct fleet support cards. Given their nature, I think its going to be a really fun time for listing. Plus titles and at least one new commander confirmed, so for such a small wave I speculate a huge impact on the meta.

I'm very excited about what we are getting here.

Calling you stupid. Add in a couple of captains and titles and it looks they will have limited upgrade slots. No TRC's.

Pretty sure Ian's post is just about how many distinct fleet support upgrade cards there will be. So far they have previewed three, but each pack contains 4 fleet support upgrades, presumably two titles, an officer, and I bet a commander. What Ian is saying is he's realized that just because we've seen three of those fleet support cards, doesn't mean that each of those three cards will be in both packs.

We know the gozanti is coming with Comm Nets and Bomber Command center. That leaves two fleet support upgrade cards in that expansion as unknowns.

We know the transports come with Repair Teams, which leaves three unknown fleet support upgrades.

Now, if we assume of those three known quantities, at least one overlaps, that gives us somewhere between 4 and 7 different fleet support upgrades. It could be there is no overlap, and we get 8. It could be they all overlap and we only get 4. I'm guessing 6, cuz it splits the middle.

If they stick to FFG SOP, the most desirable card for the empire will be in the GR75.

Viva la revolucion!

Stoopid!

If they stick to FFG SOP, the most desirable card for the empire will be in the GR75.

And we can probably assume the inverse as well.

Not that it matters, I'll be snagging 2-3 of each...

Hopefully in July!

...Maybe in September.

3 of each for sure. Point cost may determine if more.

... Plus titles and at least one new commander confirmed...

I wonder if these ships will have two title slots. :)

...Maybe in September.

Ooo, we have an optimist!

Presumably:

Admiral

Officer

Title x2

Fleet Support x4

So, pending overlap, we may have seen most of the fleet support, or it could be there are four distinct cards in each pack. I believe the GR75 blurb made reference to a new commander, so presumably the Gozanti would have one too.

I'm wondering if the Imperial commander that was originally planned for wave 3 was actually going to be in the 'other' ship that has either not yet been shown, or postponed as some of us believe. Otherwise, since they made a point of mentioning the Rebel one in the article, I would've expected they would have told us that both had one if they did. We may find ourselves in a situation where the Rebels have 1 more commander option than the Empire for a while (as if already having 1 more ship option wasn't enough... c'mon man!)

I just hope they are able to stick to their stated timeline this time. I am looking forward to what this mini-wave will bring us, but I do think it needs to not be pushed back (and should really be released early in Q3) to maintain a happy player base.

I am derp

EDIT: The following information is incorrect. Mistakes were made.

I mean, the way I read it was as follows:

There are 8 upgrades total in this wave.

4 fleet supports:

- 3 revealed, 1 unrevealed

2 Crew upgrades:

- Kallus and Farr

2 Titles:

- 1 for each ship

= 8

Which, of course, Excludes the Rebel Commander which was also revealed... Ergo, it cannot be so :)

Yup, I just went back to re-read the article more closely and realized I was mistaken.

(For the record, I thought about loudly and voraciously defending my incorrect position with insults and shadow arguments. Too lazy still)

Bring on the upgrades!

(Also, inb4 we get more support officers and/or veteran captains.)

Each expansion advertises 8 upgrades. So in theory 16 different upgrades/titles/commanders/officers.

I just want to point out that the AUDIO weasel almost always post a very VISUAL gif

A picture is worth a wall of text lol
