cargo transports and/or bulk freighters would make great alternatives to flotillas for fleet support. Heavy shields (think 4/3/3/2) and 5 hull but little to no offensive capability, and speed 2. Double brace, redirect and contain as defense tokens. No squadron command ability, but engineering 4 and command 2.
That should clock in about the same cost as a flotilla and be a tanky support alternative. You can even put your admiral on one if you're brave.
I just watched the latest episode of Rebels, if we do get an ISD I repaint, please let it be Thrawn's personal Star Destroyer.
Making the Imperial Supply Vessel a Q ship would be crazy cool.
Imagine if its allowed to hide all of it's upgrades with the cards face down. One upgrade track could be about repairing squadrons and the other could be about close range combat. Such as if the ship is destroyed at close range the explosion results in one face damage card.
The opponent wouldn't know which is which. Will they send resources to deal with the supply vessel or will they only engage it when convenient? Its strange but the ship has a LOT of potential for some cool game mechanics. It couldn't be a spectacular ship for balance reasons, maybe a raider level flotilla.

The Chimaera is canon again. Along with the Executrix, Thrawn, Director Krennic, and Captain Shaef Corssin we have plenty enough ISD I specific titles and officers/admiral to warrant an expansion. I would only want it to be a model variant however and expand the abilities of the current ISD.
If the Empire is going to have fewer ships, especially large base, we might as well make the two options for the current star destroyer more versatile considering its the versatile ship of the Empire. There are plenty of reasons for FFG to do this and it would only change the game subtley. It would be nice to see more ISD-I's on the field.

A thousand times yes. It'd be nice to see a subtle change to the ISD I. So instead of just a reprint with different sculpt and a few new titles, maybe 2 new unit cards that are additional variants of the ISD I. Making the original ISD still relevant and adding some new options for the Empire.
Maybe one is an ISD I flagship and an ISD I Intel vessel, or something like that. They could be slightly weaker in pure offense (just through different upgrade options) but have a new upgrade slot or ISD command ship only upgrades.
I want a stencil of that design.

I have like, 6 right now. But none are on a decent enough material yet.
The only sadness would be that I'm hardly ever looking at the bottom of my ISDs.
You can kinda do Q ships with the GR75/Gozanti with Flight Commander, Bomber Command Center, and Rapid Launch Bays - move then use squad command to drop 2 bombers on something.
I was actually expecting some more interesting upgrade selections for the GR75 and was kinda dissapointed we didnt get a new cargo slot or something for discard prevention or defense token refresh.

I'd love to see and ISD command ship, give it the fleet support slot and two offensive retrofit slots but no turbolaser or ion cannon slots.

If you manage to make one work, drop me a pm and maybe we can work out a trade. Like I send you a ship or some alt arts or what have you.

I've got one waiting on delivery as a full-sized decal sheet, for one...
But I'm having to re-draw it before I can get it cut into a flexi-sheet that will take more punishment than the layered (and attempted sealed) papers I've been using.
I found they used today this image in the web of the Spanish publisher of Armada, EDGE, on the article announcing the CC and wave 5 release.
A mistake?

Edited by EllIt really seems the only things still canon left are quasar, hammerhead, tector, and the star jammer or whatever they are called from the new EU.
Edit just remembered lancers, carracks and immobilizers are canon again
Brahatok!!!! They would make great flotillas!
And since Pablo spoiled that the Brahatok will appear in Rebels it is more likely that we will geht it for Armada.
Minute 4:01 on.
What about the new mc75 from rouge one, the profundity?
Nvm found it earlier on in the forum
Edited by Zach1996My prediction:
ROGUE ONE
MC75
White Imperial Star Destroyer
REBELS
Hammerhead
Quasar

The artwork looks FFG enough. Hopefully the ship is Imperial only.

Imperial makes sense (and I'd loathe giving Rebels more squadron help at the moment), but I'd really feel a bit sad if we couldn't use it for Rebels, and keep piecing together Phoenix Squadron from the cartoon.
Limiting the Quasar to Rebels would make no sense. It is an Imperial desing and only one was hijacked. Maybe it could be a cross faction ship like... Dun-dun-DUNNN.... Dreadnoughts!

Would anyone mind pointing me to approximately when in which episode we can see this pattern? I'm thinking about die-cutting a stencil and putting this on one of my ISD's!

You can find the clip on youtube. Its the last scene in "Warhead" right before Thrawn gives his evil speech. Good for reference of how it looks on the geometry of a Deatroyer, but not mearly as clear as the above pictures.
Imperial:
Venator class Star Destroyer
Quasar Carrier - 2 waves from now the rebel version
Rebels:
MC75 Cruiser (Profundity)
Hammer head Cruiser
They will eventually have to get Fenn Rau and his Fang Fighter but not in this wave.
Alright everyone. When do you predict FFG will announce the next wave? I say March.

As I said here:
https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/229045-article-predictions/page-161#entry2581551
GAMA Trade Show is March 13th... And Wave 3 was previewed their last year, so if we get nothing beforehand - THAT is where it is going to be Shown.
Cool. I would like to hear sooner but I think March is a realistic timeframe.
