My statement is Evidence based.

can you present that evidence, because otherwise it's anecdotal based. I get it, your third cousins best friend saw them loading the SSD's in the truck but I'm gonna need a bit more than that.

I'll help you get to 400 btw

Not directly - but look at our KNOWN playtesters.

Their attitudes and statements go a long way.

I mean, let’s face it - it’s unpaid - and you couldn’t pay people enough to keep up this facade for any length of time.

And really... given our precedents of LCG, Conquest, Netrunner et al...

if itvwere dead we’d be told.

but I am soooo drunk right now my auto carrot on my phone csnt keep up.

Giant companies are NEVER your friend. Haha

I do like to bust a bit and say Armada is dead, but there is no way they're just discontinuing it. Given FFG's product load, and penchant for using the same (what appears to be 4 at most) people to develop every game they make, they just did not have the manpower to make another wave at this time. And it makes sense, really. You have to overhaul your biggest game and release a new game to compete with the biggest dog in the room. You can't afford to half *** it.

That being said, they probably shouldn't have done what they did at the Hyperspace report. And they would have been wise to make some kind of comment saying be paitent for the long gap in releases. But honestly, in the 3+ years I've followed FFG, this is pretty much how they roll.

I agree.

It’s interesting, I’ve been bouncing back and fourth between this and the Genesys forums for an idea I’m working on and I noticed they keep track of the number of posts made in each product line’s forum.

The only IP that beats us, or even comes close, is X-Wing.

Considering how much forum traffic we generate, it would be insane to choose to close the game down.

Armada aint dead. Lol

Maybe it is not about the amount rather than de direction of the traffic ?

Correct. In case anyone cares, the longest threads on FFG forums are (In order):

Star Wars: REBELS Disscussion thread (X-wing, 435 pages. Mostly dead)

Carolina Krayts is the Best X-wing podcast (X-wing 408 Pages. Likely going to overtake Rebels thread within a month)

Gunboat Thread (385 pages, growing incredibly slowly, but likely going to spike for a bit after second edition releases)

This Thread.

Other tidbits:

The Carolina Krayts thread shows up twice, because it got briefly moved to off-topic and that messes with the forum.

These 4 thread are each INDIVIDUALLY larger than most of the forums in the community section.

The reason armada seems small its because it is frequently compared to X-wing, which is bonkers huge.

X-wing got an article today, go figure...

I had the chance to play out in the KC store championship at Game Cafe this weekend. It was a great time and I just wanted to say thank you for being an awesome host as always

Runed with Destiny

how? With that face during a HQ meeting is hard to build a rebellion, not even on blasters, armored cruisers and huge armies.

Just stop looking, it's too depressing. I am convinced we won't get anything until Gencon. If we don't get anything AT Gencon THEN its panic time.

Until then... Keep on playing and try and get at least 1 new player into the game.

Unfortunately I think this is what we're going to have to expect. I've become mildly content without anything new...for now. The game is in a healthy place. Depsite Rieekan Aces still being at the top at both Worlds and Euros, I still feel like I can take anything and win. ****, Gink killed two Rieekan lists in the swiss rounds. By most accounts, a single mistake in the elimination round cost him the game to the eventual winner. Or, ya know, keep saying Raddus and Rieekan are OP and force the contrarian in me to take Sato to Nationals... (**** it, I wanted to actually try and win...)

To bring it all back around, I agree we shouldn't be in panic mode quite yet. The developers made some excellent moves for the long term health of the game in the last errata. We'll be fine even if we don't have anything else until the end of this year or the beginning of next. Now if we get snubbed at GENCON again, then it's time to sound the alarm bells.

How? Tons of ship are out of stock... which is good and bad.

Officially, only the Quasar, Arq, and both Squad 1 packs (of which, the Quasar is currently in the process of being reprinted.)

Exactly, It depends a bit on what part of the world you live in but if you look on Amazon in the US almost everything is available. After a quick look the Arq is the only thing I don't see at all, the other 3 listed above are but are 3rd party and mostly sold at a huge mark up. The Squad 1 packs are crazy, FFG just did a reprint of those and they are out again. Either FFG printed a minimal quantity of those not thinking they would sell very fast or they just can't print them fast enough (or both). Those 2 expansions inparticular sell like crazy.

Anyway I think you can find plenty of stuff for a new player to get started with. If your FLGS doesn't have much/any Armada ask if they can order it for you. Most will as they can just add it to an order they already have coming in anyway.

I'm just letting them borrow stuff from me. Just the other night, I got two people interested in the game, one of whom can't afford it, and the other one only has a core set. for now, we are just playing opposite factions and borrowing stuff. It works for now.
