Wave 4 is true!

By Lyraeus, in Star Wars: Armada

I'm pretty sure the "spinal...." Card in the liberty is "spinal turbolasers" and increases the forward battery armament by 1 or 2 Red dice. Will make isd-2s and vsds with gun teams fantastic at throwing red dice

OH heavens above. MY NEBS

Salvation orgasm.

I agree. This could give the VSD a pretty nice boost.

Also, I'd just to point out that my phone autocorrected "VSD" to "bad." So, you know... :)

Well the "meta" is officially smashed into itty bitty pieces and forced down a gravity well.

Wave 3 is coming third quarter, according to the article, which is what the initial Wave 3 reveal article also stated.

No indication of when Wave 4 hits , but I'm on top of it as soon as it does!

The last line of the article says: " Arm your fleet to win the galaxy's greatest battles. Armada Wave IV is scheduled to arrive at retailers late in the third quarter of 2016!"

"Arm your fleet to win the galaxy's greatest battles. Armada Wave III is scheduled to arrive at retailers late in the third quarter of 2016!"

That must have been a typo that they corrected, because it says wave 3 for me. "Arm your fleet to win the galaxy's greatest battles. Armada Wave III is scheduled to arrive at retailers late in the third quarter of 2016!"

Copy-pasted from the original Wave 3 announcement... /troll

I double checked, and it does say that at the end of the W3 announcement... but the W4 announcement definitely reiterated W3's release date without listing its own.

So, not to start a whole thing here, and I'm just spitballing here:

* Mismatched base sizes

* No Rebel interdictor

* Reasonable chance of CC-2200/7700 (possibly medium) appearing in Rogue One

* Likely pressure from Disney for new-movies tie-ins, e.g., Finalizer

* No confirmation (unless I missed it?) that this is it for Wave 4

Possible Finalizer/CC-7700 announcement when the Rogue One trailer drops? Not necessarily saying I think this is going to happen, but I think it's a possibility. I'd sure love to have some of them grav effects as a Rebel...

Also interdictor has support teams (see engineering team) Projection experts anyone?

With a token from wulf/ Tarkin it can get 8 (EIGHT!) engineering! Wow. Then it can repair 3 shields and shift 2. *double thumbs up*

It still may be a rear hull zone, based on the art. Also there is an ion cannon armament modification (Add 1 blue die to the sides?)

So. Fing. Great.

Oh, and now we know what the missing project numbers were.

I'm guessing they were part of wave 3, but then it got split into two.

Likely Imperial admirals/commander for the interdictor set

Edited by Eggzavier

Huh?

The interdictor has both a "Commander" named card, and an "Admiral" Named Card.

Ergo, I am postulating who it could be, based on Names that have not yet been used, but were part of the Canon OT....

They could have course EU-Dropped, but I was setting my parameters.

And, you could also use this for preventing engine techs, no?

It's definitely going to need an FAQ, but my first thought is no.

Why would it even potentially prevent engine techs ( need faq) engine techs are not dependent on speed, just the command ? If I had changed my speed to 0 last turn and I had a navigate dial or token I could spend the command for no effect, stay speed 0 then use engine techs to make a 1 move, but still be speed 0 for next round..... Not sure why I would, but I could.

Where is AdmiralNelson? I want his take on the news. ;)

Ginkapo has AdmiralNelson's post here:

Wave 4 Confirms that Armada is Dead

. . . Broken CR90's. . . Nav Teams with Nav Command and Dial on a CR90 means you get 4 clicks. . . That is ALL of the clicks on the maneuver tool with the CR90. . .

I'm pretty sure with Madine, ships will be able to pull off u turns

And I dub thee:

The CR180!

Is the unspoiled imperial card a commander?

If so. Can we start rampant speculation...like thrawn? Because everyone would recognize that blue skinned commander.

Liberty with torpedo frigates on either flank? This may become a thing.

Thing whales with Ackbar dear boy :)

In the top picture, what ship is the Interdictor firing on? Unknown rebel vessel?

I agree, which is why my first thought was no, but I'm not going to commit to a position without having thought through the potential arguments against my initial impression. :)
