Too easy.
Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.

Unrelated Bothan report:
CMoN are doing Song of Ice and Fire miniature game.
Just, y'know, because there's so many GoT Fans around here already 
If you are super lucky, its just going to be like last year. One slide, super blurry, no details.
I WORKED HARD FOR THAT SUPER BLURRY PICTURE!
WHY IS IT NOT APPRECIATED MORE?!
Armada really is the red-headed stepchild of FFG. No love in highlight articles or anything.
You can feel that way if you wish.
I don't ascribe to it.
Anyhow, got a stream to camp out for the Asmodee Keynotes (hopefully), so we're not entirely bothan-reliant there... But chasing up FFG ones later is difficult.

Oh joy.
Does that mean FFG is moving away from that license, or is Martin just Prostituting it even harder?

Neither.
Its always been a Diversified License.
RPG has belonged to Green Ronin.
Dark Sword have been doing Miniatures for a While.
FFG has Card Games.
FFG is really pushing Destiny (despite the disastrous launch and supply issues that are ongoing). And it isn't too far of a reach to see that FFG doesn't see Armada as the money maker that Destiny might become.

Okay, but to take that statement without baseline, I would also argue that FFG doesn't see anything as the money maker that Destiny might become.
This isn't an Armada-Centric issue.

Meh, X-Wing is still the primary driver in the Star Wars license. It makes sense that it would get the most articles and the most PR. We see more articles on LOTR LCG and Game of Thrones CCG than Armada.
Armada players also saw some of the highest price increases this year in actual dollars (even though the % increase was the same across the board.) It would be nice to have some community support to go along with that price increase.
Price Increases?
I'm just sitting here imagining if they don't announce any new content for Armada... how fragile the sky will be.
Keep your out for an Admiral Nelson type response from some if that happens.

We can't. At least, not as Admiral Nelson, as he was banned.
Something Nelson-esque, perhaps.... Perhaps even under a new pseudonym, I don't know how extensive the ban-side of things is.

Given what I have heard of Admiral Nelson, I'd suggest keeping your eye out for Nelson impersonators regardless. . .
Eh? Lack of community support? You mean tourney kits, campaigns etc?
He's messaged my Facebook once or twice, which gave me his real name (or at least a real-ish-facebook-pseudonym)...

Yes. As in the average price people pay for an item increased due to changes in FFG pricing structure. This has been discussed at length. When people have to pay more for a product, the price has gone up.

Dont worry, I claimed number one Admiral Nelson impersonator title ages ago.

As you intimated in the other posting...
Its not truly all comers unless everyone is involved.
Ergo, its hard to argue a position being the one and only truth when it only affects a subset of the people. Which is what was the case.

My local store is still waiting on their Corellian Conflict organized play, despite having put their order in as soon as it was announced.
FAQ's only semi-annually.
It's easier to order Destiny Organized Play than Armada, for example.

Facts are funny things. I said the average price paid by everyone for Armada went up. Do you dispute that the price went up for some people? Therefore. the average cost paid went up.
