Well. . . I only need 4 Nebs and the Liberty . . . good thing I already have 6 Nebs. . .

Hmm, MC80 with Madine and Antilles will be able to do 90-degree turns on every Navigate. Interesting.

technically you just need Madine

You still need a source of Nav tokens, if you want to do it more than once.

you don't need nav tokens. Just the command. The mc80 has 2 clicks total at speed 2 right? Normal nav extra click+ madine extra click equals 4 clicks aka 90° turns

This is true, my bad. Then it's even worse better.

FTFY

You know I don't see Ciena Ree. Wonder if there is a new Movie Pack or two planned for later in the year? Sneaky sneaky?

My Nebulon tournament list will be named:

I'm still going with the assumption that Spinal Tap adds dies to the rear zone.

So the Support Refit version (the one we can't see any information on) is 5 more points than a VSD 2.

That means we could see the first medium ship to be 100 or more points if the Combat Refit is more than the Support. And it should be.

I reckon that Liberty must also be able to equip a weapons team upgrade - why else would they add Veteran Gunners to the pack?

Veteran Gunners, Vader and Leading shots on an ISD 2? That's gonna be a ton of rerolls right there...

I'm very excited right now... this is gonna make Armada even more interesting!

Just make sure to use the Veteran Gunners first or not at all. You have to re-roll everything with them.

Wow! Just wow.

Double contain token on the Interdictor. I would expect a new upgrade that spends defence/contain token to do soemthing. Also Needa might find that his new home is on the Interdictor now.

Gravity wells seems to be a good counter to Hyperspace assault among other things.

Double Contain isn't too impressive, but yes, Needa gets assigned here. Empire needs ships with Evade.

so..... dictating deployment and at the same time command dials as your opponent will need to nav for speed, and then nav again if they want a bank seems really really good.

can not wait to see the imperial admiral

Trololol, Demolisher... https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/2a/a6/2aa69106-6613-475e-b802-2270d3948721/swm16_g-8_experimental_projector.png

You realize with the Interdictior title you can do it a second time later in the turn right?

Anyone else notice the possible Fighter Command Center on the top row of upgrades of the Interdictor?

With the title and a second Interdictor you can potentially slow or freeze 3 enemy ships. Then you last them or let the Bombers do it.

You could use this to counter Hyperspace Assault...

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

My other theory is that the extra contain token in the Liberty is granted by a Unique Rebel Officer upgrade, kinda like Needa but with no token replacement.

"Targeting [Disruptor]: While a friendly ship at distance 1-X is defending at close range, during it's Spend Defense Tokens step you make exhaust this card to force the attacker to reroll X di[c]e of your choice."

"Interdictor title: When a ship activates, you may exhaust this card to ready 1 other upgrade card equipped to this ship."

Double Lando all the way across the sky!

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*

The potential repair of the Interdictor is staggering. You can potentially get 9 points with the Engineering Team. Three hull damage? Nope.

I'm excited for the possibility of using the G7-X to deploy at speed 0 without having to waste the first command. That's worth 2 points by itself.

I like this too. Drop the tokens in my deployment zone and camp a turn. Then fire up the engines and go. Certainly a fun tactic.

You never know man...you never know.

(screw her, I have enough interceptors)

ya know swipe and all that while at work

You know I don't see Ciena Ree. Wonder if there is a new Movie Pack or two planned for later in the year? Sneaky sneaky?

We might. We have yet to have a special pack. Imperial Aces for X-Wing came out a year after initial release so maybe we will get our version of Imperial and Rebel Aces.

THANKFULLY G-8 is a Unique card which this is the first no named, non title unique card we have seen.

. . . 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 already got the mini for him too... now I need to make his Emote and for the two NEW BIGGIES... Lol, what a sad chore I have ahead of me... MORE Boss Emotes To Make ASAP!!!

I was like; I'm good for a while with my ARMADA Joints...

Then today happens!

... ...

I really can't be happier about this. Great little forum surprise to wake up to. But wow, that Interdictor, 'tis a beast of a ship. Suppressor refit being 90 points is kind of painful, but that with the G7-X array makes the prospect of Player 2 Fleet Ambush pretty tasty as well (not that anyone in their right mind would pick it) And, as previously mentioned, an anti Hyperspace Assault choice is nice too.. I wonder if we will see more fun and games with tractor beam manipulation with that G8.

Oh, and interdictor model is bulky and beautiful. Gonna have to get one as the Astral Claw in addition to my Immobilizer 418 Siren . Glad I already painted one, got 2 people asking me to do the G8 repaint already As much as I love the Interdictor, it's the Liberty that I'm really salivating over. I have to repaint it... but I might just 'touch it up' a bit as that is one great paint job. Lets see if the finished model lives up to the render.

The Interdictor better have targeted disruption as an option. Even the TIE Fighter cartoon showed scrambling incoming missiles so they did nothing.

I mean... I'm pretty sure that's what that card says, based on the words we can see.

Armada LIVES!

THANKFULLY G-8 is a Unique card which this is the first no named, non title unique card we have seen.

Thanks for pointing that out. So no fleets of Interdictors stopping entire enemy fleets at least. But the Interdictor title could do it twice. Now I'm just wondering how many of these experimental system slots each version has.

I'm guessing the hidden "Admiral" card in the interdictor expansion is Admiral Brom Titus as he is the only person in canon we have ever seen command an interdictor.

Edit and his ship was named "Interdictor" which is the only title card in the pack.

Armada LIVES!

ZOINGS!!!

Both of these ships look great, must have em both. Wish they were out sooner though...but oh well I still have plenty of other ships to get in order to catch up. The interdictor looks different from the designs I have seen in the past, looks more distinct and less generic I suppose.

The hard counter to demolisher has arrived....

I mean you might As Well have a,flashing neon sign on the side that says "F You Demolisher"

Well, there is another unique card that does some gravity manipulation (I would assume it puts a gravity token on the battlefield and allows to move it after a fleet deployment)

The problem with that is your drummer will die every game.

Acceptable losses....

RIGHT.

So, how long to wait for Further Information:

Wave 3 was announced 16 March. Further Information was released 29 April, and then again 06 May.

This means its about 6 Weeks after main announce, before Specifics were put out...

WHICH MEANS

With Today, the 20th being the Release of the teaser, then its oging to be 01 July (The day After Close of the US Regional Season) where we get Further News, possibly Detailing the Interdictor (Imps usually first)...

Then a Week for the Liberty...

So. What do you all think of the Interdictor's specialty stuff? I feel like tractor beam effects are a little underwhelming in terms of crazy. I was hoping for crazy crazy.

Also, what do you think about Gunnery Teams and Ackbar on a Liberty? No safe zones.

anyone wonder if this was not their intended schedule but because of the leak earlier today they sent this out

Did wonder this, but seems unlikely. A leak's annoying for them, but only speculation - they could easily have just brushed it under the rug.

I imagine they gave distributors a heads up (which then got leaked), with the intention of releasing this publicly shortly after.
