Wave 5

By Cubanboy, in Star Wars: Armada

Anyone notice that the Pelta has a different ship card than the cardboard showing? Hard to see but it looks like the other version is Pelta-class Assault Ship. Black dice in front instead of the blue and an added black die for anti-squadron?

I think this confirms the thought that Wave 3/4 were supposed to be ONE Wave, but due to production/shipping delays, they had to be pushed to a later date. This would mean that Wave 3 with all 4 ships, if following the ~6 month release schedule, should have been out in ~EoM April (Early Q2), and this one here, Wave 5 is to hit Early Q4. But now with Wave 3/4 hitting 3 months later, they're pushing release of Wave 5 as well.

I'm expecting to see these drop in late November/Early December 2016 then :>

hopefully available to purchase at worlds....not legal for worlds of course.

Well, I know exactly what is going to be under my Xmas tree this year

There is no confirmation on that. It is still likely that they were kept split up to manage product count for the waves.

Oddly enough, Thrawn seems to have been held back for a later release - neither of the face-down cards in the light cruiser preview were commanders. I'm hardly complaining, mind, Jerjerrod is fantastic.

Yep. Thrawn and Piett are still conspicuously missing.

Awesome! I didn't see that you'll be there, too. What day did you get tickets for?

They did it. They finally did it! Hoo boy! Lambs AND the Ghost! Shaw! My day just went into hyperdrive!

Waves 6 and 7 I think for those two.

I hoped for more iconic capital ships and I also hoped for two small and two more larger ships at the same time.

I want more than 2 capital ships per wave release :-)

The new squadrons was great. I will be real fun to have them added to the game.

Fantastic that FFG could get wave 5 to be released so fast even it would hurt my wallet.

I am an Admiral type and not a pilot, so it looks like my X-Wing fleet need to find a new home. I need to finance my ever growing Armada fleet and my wife is breathing down my neck for all the place these games take.

Please FFG do more of the old iconic ships before you throw in more of the ships from the new cartoons and new Star Wars movies.

Anyway thanks for making such a fantastic game and keep em coming....

We are seeing two of Rebel's season 2 ships just now so expect Thrawn this time next year so 7 or 8 maybe even 9 at the latest. I expect Piett then Thrawn in 7 then 8 maybe 6 then 7

I'm actually really glad they're holding Piett and Thrawn back a bit. Traditionally, the later something is released in a game's cycle the more powerful it is, and both of them are supposed to be the apex commanders of the Imperial army. I would have been disappointed if they ended up being Tarkins - situationally useful but largely overcosted and inefficient.

Commander Sato looks insane. Liberty Star cruiser with SW7 and a squad in range 1 is 6 auto damage and one red dice... holy mackeral

And with the appropriate upgrades, 2 auto accuracys. SCARY!!!!!! "Hmmm, I think I will insta-kill your Raider without rolling! Thank you very much!". "NEXT!!!"

Tarkin... Largely overcosted and inefficient...

...

I'm... I'm dying here :D

...

Granted, you're correct with a Wave 1 and 2 mindset.

But I really do feel that evolved with 3 and 4.

Once they actually release we'll see. ;)

Did we get any sort of time frame for the Corellian Conflict? My guess would be that it'll be out before wave 5, so hopefully won't be too long.

time for a new flat. or remove the x-wing stuff to a less prominent location.

Sounds like something schmitty the Bolthan can ask :D

Am I the only one who feels like I can't afford to play both X Wing and Armada with the whiplash level of new crap coming out by the end of the year?

Good thing I only play Armada. It is the cooler game anyways :P I get to fly star destroyers!

I feel your pain between this and Imperial Assault.

Right now, I've basically committed to 2:1 for Armada to X-Wing for $ expenditure. I can't do both, not possible.

Glad I'm not alone here... I mean I'm working like an idiot currently, but I'm not stupid. Things like keeping my car on the road, fixing house things... they take money too and definitely come before a Prack© habit. :lol:
