Clearly This situation calls for speed. Time to pull out the fastest ship in the game.

118 x2 CR90-A (Engine Techs, TRC) - 59

24 x1 Dash Rendar - 24

142/150

Hopefully 90 objective points and then run like your life depends on it.

where you get 90 points from?

50 from the first token, 40 from the second.

50 from the first token, 40 from the second.

Exactly. Also

I feel that the same line from Independence Day would fit better. You know, since they're on a spaceship...

I read it as each player only gets one objective token does every ship get 1?

Slow roll VSD2 with loads of ties?

Actually, looking at it again, it seems you only get one token. Thus, you would only be able to get 50 pts. max.

So my reading was correct?

Hmmm, so he winner is the one with the biggest fleet left, plus token points.

So seeing the other guys fight is good, and you want to run away.

Does this mean everyone is just looking to disengage after dropping a token at the station?

Alternatively, taking a large ship could be very viable, because each opponent likely won't have enough points to drop you, unless they gang up (or have Demolisher). Fast small ships may get the token on station first, but are liable to being sniped as they run around...

Hmmmmm....

I will play with nothing but a MC80. Mostly to spite meta.

As you wish...

Faction: Rebel Alliance

Points: 140/150

[ flagship ] MC80 Command Cruiser (106 points)

- Home One ( 7 points)

- Adar Tallon ( 10 points)

- Projection Experts ( 6 points)

- Boosted Comms ( 4 points)

- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)

Happy with this?

Yes. But needs more guns.

My counter!

"They must deliver their elite teams of commandos and technicians to a waystation on the edge of the Outer Rim to recover vital intelligence."

Sounds like an Imperial Assault tie-in to me!

Except it would read:

"They must deliver their elite team of commandos and technicians to a way station on the edge of the Outer Rim to recover vital intelligence. When they arrive they will be surprised by an outrageous amount of reinforcements and an impossible task."

This this this! I love the nuances this has.

Holy crap where'd that Nexu come from!!!

Although I appreciate FFG releasing a scenario for Armada, especially a multi-player one, the design of this scenario is lackluster and the gameplay will be goofy (goofy fun, albeit very goofy). I can't imagine more than 2 hours of work went into designing such a simplistic scenario. There are so many better ways to implement a free-for-all battle scenario.

Again, I appreciate FFG releasing this, but I was hoping they would eventually release thematic, rich, scenarios, not necessarily tied to just destroying ships, and preferably ones tied to movie battles. There's soooo many scenario opportunities for Star Wars, and definitely for Armada, and this isn't what I had I mind. Oh well. Maybe next time?

Well I will be engine teching a MC80 to cover its arc on the spacestation. You cant kill me without comitting heavily, and I damage anyone who touches the station.

So who thinks those 50pts are worth it? Thought so.

Stupid scenario as it doesnt actually encourage engagement.

4 red dice at long range are very survivable for any ship. Sure, I'll take those 50 points in exchange for some damage, especially as you won't be getting 30 points when you veer away from the station to get your broadsides.

I do worry the scenario will encourage disengagement.

Let's find out.

4 Player 'TAKE THE STATION' game queing now on Vassal.

150pts, just for fun.

Update - 1 space left.

The impression I get from this whole scenario thing is a meek half gesture of "hey, Armada guys, we acknowledge you still exist" its cute that they tried something. Gotta give em props for trying

Yup looks like I was mistaken. New plan get 50 points and then try to secure kills.

Oh man let us know how that goes mat, im so sad its passover tonight and im stuck dealing with 3000 year old whining about getting lost in a sandbox instead of playing spaceships

Tatooine? Jakku?
