I feel like I am finally busy again with writing articles.

Did I mention that I started up a Facebook page so that you can "Like" the page and then you get the new articles in your Facebook news feed and don't have to bother looking for this wonderful monthly thread?

Let's look back at what we wrote in August:

Commander's Guide: Interdictor Cruiser

Commander's Guide: MC-80 Liberty Class

Grudge-Match of the Week: HERO vs Lyraeus - Lyraeus Wins!

New Player Resource: Armada Lingo - Now Updated with Triple Tap!

Wave 3 & 4 After Action Report

Wave 4 Officer Upgrades

Wave 4 Weapon Team Upgrades

Wave 4 Support Team Upgrades

Wave 3 Fleet Support Upgrades - Bomber Command Center was written earlier.

Wave 4 Experimental Retrofit Upgrades

I think you can guess what is going to be published this Friday and Monday.

Wave 4 Ion Cannon Upgrades (Friday 5/2/16)

Wave 4 Turbolaser Upgrades (Monday 5/5/16)

I have other stuff in the pipeline to be excited about as well, namely an article about Tanking and Healing damage that may be interesting to somebody...

Well, that is it. Experimental Retrofits just came out less than 24 hours ago, so you don't get anything "new" with the new thread. Sorry.

Well, one thing new we are going to see pretty soon is another automatic qualifier for the Armada World Cup, so that is something I guess.

Oh what the heck, I'm up late anyway because I have to get ready to work nights the next two weeks. Might as well throw in a bonus article.

Do Gozanti Wolfpacks, with Vader as your Commander, work? The answer might surprise you.

Hey, Biggs,can you give us the wave 3/4 FAQ?

Posted at

Sure. Ask me some questions more frequently and I'll answer them.

... maybe I can hire Dras for a special article.

Could add Redundant Shields to a CR90 projection experts for more shields.

On May 22nd, 2015 I decided to focus on Armada instead of X-Wing, writing the Armada Objectives articles since, quite simply, I didn't see anyone really talking about them anywhere.


Since then, there have been over 170 articles written on everything from upgrades, community, strategy, and the ships themselves. Today, just now, we have passed a quarter million pages read.


Along the way I've met friends who I probably wouldn't have made if I hadn't been writing. I have been an active part of an amazing community that continues to grow. On this milestone I have to ask, where do we go from here?



The answer is that we need to become bigger, better, and continue to be the best community in gaming. And I need to keep doing my part to provide you folks with moderately well put together articles that you can pick apart within minutes after I post to point out all the things that I got wrong.


Have fun out there, everyone. I'll see you at worlds for breakfast!

Haha. I'm the best at ranking.

Edit: Oh, hey, BoLS actually wrote an armada article!

Further Edit: And I disagree with pretty much the entire order.
