Arquitens Preview

By connivingmole, in Star Wars: Armada

9 Points for a ECM Floatilla :P Hmm...the potentials for troll.

On a more serious note Imps and going to undergo fundemetal changes based on one cheap upgrade alone! Not to even mention the awesomeness of the ship and what it provides as well.

@undeadguy. Issue is the oppurtunity cost for your ISD I/Interdictor/VSD/smaller ships...but ECM scatter is an ECM scatter :P It think its a funny idea but I don't want to dissmiss it as just a joke either.

-edit- yar beat me too it pt

I so happy overall. I have slacked off the Armada. Everyone has mostly been playing Destiny. With 32 New Squadrons, Amazing expanions and CC? That is a metric ******* worth of content, a few year of interest and discussion right there. Right in time for this which arrived a few days ago.

Which is why we havn't done an episode in a while, amoungst other reasons! It's good to be playing Armada right now.

It's okay. If someone really wants to kill your commander flotilla, they still can, but you'll for sure never die to a random lucky roll

Is Destiny really that good? To be honest with you, what I saw gave me no urge to go out and buy the product.

Same but people keep saying its a good game. The CCG aspect is gonna keep me out of it forever though.

Same, with Armada, Cthulhu Wars, Space Hulk and Eldritch Horror, I got all the games I need...

Yeah, with the ability to now give Imperial-1's and Victory S.D. Defensive retrofits.. I.E. E.C.M.'s They just became a thing now!

I bought the Destiny Starters sets, and yes it's loads of fun and fast paced. Some folks probably wont care for it as much, but I think it's an amazing game personally.

Either or? Not with an ISD II; then you can have both!

Nah sadly you cannot.

Oops. I forgot about the bottom half of Tua.

Me to :P

I feel as if i'm the only, or perhaps a couple of us, who haven't got freebies or bought into Destiny. People are loving it here. Our hub is around the biggest MtG store/scene in Sydney and most of us have played or collected MtG at some time. There is an institutional memory of ccg here. Heck it's all my old EDH decks and original Zendikar that has paid for (and continues to pay for) every Wave :P I don't want to ever go down the ccg rabbit hole every again.

Are Dual Turbos really that good for Imps?

The Empire already has ways to get re-rolls if it needs them.

A swarm of Arquitens commanded by Vader would be pretty impressive.

It's not just rerolls. You are adding a red die in place of another die.

so in short:

You're supposed to have 3 die

You roll the 3 die, exhaust DTL, roll another 1, then remove a die.

wait, can you remove the die you just rolled?

I see a lot of Intel Officers in our future.

Perhaps, but like I stated before in another thread. If we do get Intel Officered It's fine, because being able to use that Brace if even once can turn the course of a battle in your favor, IMO.

Shout out to all the FFG employees popping in to read the thread today!

You guys made my day: off from work so I had the whole day to drool over the article while painting the last of my unfinished squads.

Dual Turbolaser Turrets will work well on ships like the Arquitens, Nebulon, and Assault Frigate.

(If you roll like me)

I like this in an Ozzel fleet with engine techs. Start at speed 1 with a nav token. Reveal nav command and go to effectively speed 4. Hook behind the enemy. Next turn spend your token to slow down to speed 1or 2(with ET) and be behind the enemy or shadowing them and double arcing. It will make for some interesting Ozzel maneuvers.

two clicks on the first yaw on my ISD or VSD1 for one damage card (especially with blast doors)? Yes please!

You don't even need blast doors necessarily since you can choose where to suffer that damage which means you can suffer it on a hull zone that still has shields. No need for a damage card! Makes Jerry even better imho :)

Oh, derp, yeah. For some reason I was reading his card as increasing yaw by 1...IE., 1 to 2 on first movement. Like...I dunno, I forgot for some reason so many ships had ZERO clicks on movement.

Huh, yeah, he's...really good, actually.

Can you rock two blast doors on a ship with two defensive retrofit slots? I'm not sure if there can be any besides the arquitens at this point, but I'm curious.

No.

FAQ Eratta says you cannot equip the same Upgrade Twice.

And there is. Natively.

The MC80 Assault Cruiser has Double Defensive Retrofit slots.

Besides, while Blast Doors are good, as noted, they aren't THAT amazing. Most of the time, ECM is going to be the better choice for that slot.

Now, combining ECM and Blast Doors? Well...there ya go...

My defiance just got tougher.
