We are Steven, Judson, Dano, and Eric of the IFF Podcast Ask Us Anything!

By WWPDSteven, in Star Wars: Armada

Have you got any tips for getting a 19 month old to sleep so that dad can concentrate on the important things like plastic space ships and Love Island (dodgy English TV which is so bad it's good)!

Lots of soda and candy three hours before bed. Remove all chairs and loop as many kid shows that require dancing and jumping participation on your TV. /prosper

List you want to test the most from Wave 3?

Alright, round table question for the FSD crew pertaining to something brought up in the last episode: Is there any cards/upgrades/objectives/ships that requires tweaks or rebalancing? If so, how would you handle that?

-laughs and smirks- My Cousin Dano, niiiiiice.

Which current ship or upgrade of either faction do you most suspect is better than its current performance in the regionals data suggests?

No option for Bitchin' Shot with a Blaster despite being Injured RoTJ Leia?

Because I prefer that to the other options I've seen thusfar.

I feel horrible....that didn't even come to mind!!!!!

I am with Drasnighta.

MC80 hahahahahahahahahahahaha naw

Darth Vader Squadron jumps to mind immediately. Escort should be dropped and/or given the ability to give ANOTHER friendly squadron engaged with his attacker the Escort ability.

The current Darth Vader squadron is a pale comparison to the badassery that is supposed to be the greatest pilot in the galaxy.

I just want to point out that they dropped Escort from Han. And while Han shot first at Vader in Bespin City...Vader yanked Hans blaster from his hand and that was that.

Yes. I'm cool with just getting rid of Demo. I'll use it at every tournament but it's at the "why are you not using it" level, which is a bad thing for le game.

I want to love the Interdictor with a bunch of tricks attached to it so badly, but I worry it will be too multi-ship dependent to work as reliably as spending those points on an Xmas Demo.

You put that toddler in some sort of carrying device and you strap that toddler to your back, and you helmet up and you get those ear plugs in and you fight your way through that backstrapped tantrum until it's over. If you have to bounce your back into a wall a time or two you do that, because while no one puts baby in a corner, no one stops daddy from nerding, either.

It is known

Any of you guys play Vassal?

Any of you guys pay Vassal?

Only when I'm ridiculously desperate because it is the WORST medium for Armada. Seriously hate it, but respect the addicts who need their fix and have to suffer through methadone/vassal.

Oh, before I forget: any of you going to GenCon?

I agree- Demo and Rhymer are the only two "auto includes" I see right now. Not much else is a "never include", even the Neb B still finds its way into many lists thanks to yavaris and to a lesser extent Salvation.

B-Wings need some love.

I would argue that Turbo Laser Reroute Circuits belong in the "auto-include" group on the rebel side.

Peanut Butter.... chunky or smooth?

Also, I am pretty sure I miss understood what greeble hauling and it was way darker.

Any plans to try a live show in the future? From a convention or worlds or anything?

Solve for "X"

X = the cosine of Greeblehauls/ total number of times Steve has been on the fence.

I've never been on the fence! Okay maybe once in a while I'm on the fence. You know what? I might be on the fence, I might not be.

the correct answer is "Pi"

When do I get to play one of you guys? LOL

Oh, before I forget: any of you going to GenCon?

I want to. I never been. If there isn't a worthwhile Armada Event to go to, then I will most likely miss yet another year.

That would be awesome! No solid plans though.

TMNT is lame. Hate me. Witness me.

Samoa.

Skyshuffler is right on the chunky pb front.

If Worthington was a smarter risk taker he'd ask us to do a live show at the HQ but I think he fears Easy Machine's mysterious dream boat grey (chartreuse?) eyes.

When do I get to play one of you guys? LOL

We're all trying to go to World's! But, you know, since old Worthington has a ticket cartel going we have no idea if we'll be allowed to purchase.

I'm just glad we're able to help so many people with answers to the important questions like best mustard for fisting (French's Classic Yellow) and whether or not Turbolaser Reroutes make me grind my promo dice (depends).
