Obligatory Rogue One Trailer Thread

By Drasnighta, in Star Wars: Armada

The X-Wing forum is not what it used to be. There is too many toxic members there that made the good members fled or not bother anymore.

Ah! All is right on the Armada forum. Grammatical Errors! ;)

PS I will feel like a total jerk if Red Castle doesn't speak English as his first language.

And you should, I speak french. :P

I'm doing my best but I'm not bilingual.

That forum is full of too many "That Guy" folks. The tournament scene overrode everything else with the members there.

Continuing to discuss it is also irrelevant to how awesome the Trailer is :D

I have high hopes that the Rogue 1 series will be the prequels we actually deserved.

I mean, there is so much elbow room in the rebellion story to come up with or repurpose a ton of characters and events that can touch the main storyline either in a tangential fashion or really none at all after the first film.

So far the trailers and everything I've seen has me very excited!

I do not find the X-Wing forum much different than any other forum TBH. There are still a number of knowledgable, helpful, and productive members over there.

I just take it all with a pinch of salt. It is only a game after all.

Anyway........

You are almost guaranteed that one of those 4 wings Imperial shuttles will be released.

Do you think that Armada will release a Death Star?

A Death Star? No way. If the 19km Executor is too big, there's not going to be a 120km Death Star.

Not gonna lie, I nerd-squealed quite a bit watching that trailer. :)

(Face Palm) Believe me, man, you're doing a great job! Speaking a foreign can be very challenging!

PS: Unless you hate your native language, you should probably capitalize its name. ;)

So I think we're going to see new ships, but they're going to be background items. The imagery indicates to me (in conjunction with Star Wars Battlefront) that Disney has decided that Star Destroyers can and should enter low orbit and even atmosphere as gigantic ominous heralds of doom, which I'm actually quite OK with. However, it further relegates the need for support ships to specialist roles.

However, a small picket force of light cruisers and other ships would be perfect for defending against espionage, guerilla attacks and raiding supply ships.

I think Rebels was doing it before Battlefront: September 2014 as compared to November 2015.

And of course the PT was doing it before that, with Venators in ROTS.

Huh, I was enjoying that X-Wing thread, but I was too late to wade in. Oh well.

I enjoyed the trailer, and am looking forward to a strong female lead.

*bait, bait*

:-D

I feel like I'm the only person who looked at that trailer and went, "eh?? Maybe it'll work. Probably." Nothing looks bad from a basic plot or art direction. But a lot of bad movies looked good in their trailers.

From the standpoint of actually having an engineering and physics background (specifically, astrodynamics and rocket design), there are a few painfully stupid things in the trailer. To be fair, I Say this about virtually every movie taking place in space. The Death Star superlaser installation teaser shot really makes no sense.

That's interesting to know. In French we don't capitalize a language name. We capitalize country, nation or city names, but not language.

True, in Dutch it is the same way as in French. Of course the Germans capitalize all nouns, proper or not. Different languages, different rules.

Star Wars is the language!!!

The rest is a communication code between the different fan that we are :)

P.S. It's usefull to know a the base of a commun language (like english) to join this great family.

While a very interesting discussion, who would have guessed that we would turn this into a talk about language? On the upside, though, now I have some more random facts to impress people with! :)

Tie Strikers have been confirmed space capable although their primary focus is atmospheric combat. So far we have for possible squadrons:

Tie Strikers

Director Krennic's shuttle

Quad Winged Imperial transport

U-Wing

I definitely see the Tie Striker and U Wing types coming to Armada perhaps in a rogues and villains esque Rogue One special pack?
