Just noticed this - Black Squadron

By TheEldarGuy, in Star Wars: Armada

I was cruising throught he Correllian Campaign screen, drooling over what might be, when I noticed the Black Squadron card art.

They've used Obsidian Squadron artwork. A small thing to be sure, and different art means nothing, right? Still, I feel that since Black was the Death Star I, and Obsidian did the Hoth Asteroid thing... they got it right everywhere else.

I do hope they'll change the art - just for the sake of the sake. Did anyone else notice it?

They've been picking and choosing at from the X-Wing game for a bit now. For example, the generic Firespray-31 is the X-Wing Boba Fett art. I think this is to better distinguish the character artwork which isn't typically present in X-Wing.

Personally, I like it and it's letting us get some of the best looking artwork for each squadron.

Definitely not going to change

X-Wing has this issue too. Academy squadron promo cards actually center their image on one of Vader's wingmen... definitely NOT an academy pilot

Why not? He definitely must've gone through the academy before. :)

FFG routinely uses the same artwork in their SW RPGs, the Card Game, XWing, Armada, and Imperial Assault.

I imagine it's cost effective.
