Pelta or ArKittens - In previews, who do you think "won"?

By IceQube MkII, in Star Wars: Armada

My vote is Pelta.

I wonder if ArKittens with Vader will find Ackbar Gunlines coming back? Let's all roll red dice!

I think the Arquitens won. It helps fix other ships. It can clearly punch above it's own weight class with the right upgrades. It provides a different way to play for Imps who have been lacking in the long range conga department.

The Pelta is great but it exaggerates already existing styles of play like the B-Wing, Flight Commander, Fighter Coordination combo.

Definitely Arquitens. This gives the Imps access to a completely new playstyle.

Me. I won. I love both ships.

Arq won, but that makes it a wash with Wave3/4 clearly favoring rebels. The imps needed this. A cheapish long range side-shooter with static damage to counterbalance the CR90, and Minister Tua offers so much flexibility to an imperial fleet.

FFG Won. We will buy many copies of this wave. LOL!

Well, lets keep in mind that we don't know everything about that ArKitten yet.

Yeah we still haven't seen the titles, which are often a pretty signifcanf factor in how a ship is used.

I think both are going to see a lot of play, although I think the Arq filled several gaps in the imperial toolkit. The pelta added good options for the rebels though. I don't know that I'm sure who won yet.

I will say that between the Pelta and the Interdictor, I like the Pelta far more. Which is sad cuz I love the Interdictor model.

I also vote that ArKittens becomes common vernacular for this forum.

As far as I'm concerned - no one this far.

This is because Three of the Most Important cards are still unspoiled....

Rapid Launch

Fletchette Torps
Damage Control.

Honestly, I could still see Rapid Launch and Fletchettes as part of the Squadron Article.... But Damage control is a stretch there

I agree with Dras, those three cards are going to be huge.

And, yeah, titles.

Arquitens. Naked with Vader FTW.

Yeah but i feel like for two of those cards we already know what they do, just not what they cost.

Both are good I think imps have the edge but rebs had the edge in wave 3/4

Add in EA and ur golden shooting 4 rerollable reds at range

Tie. Neither are super great but both have their place in fleets. I think the Empire needed a long range cheaper sniper than the Rebels needed a fleet support ship, so I think the Empire made out slightly better.

I dunno, I can't decide who won anymore without a rap battle.

Too expensive. I would go with def liason trick and just spam CF for the same effect.

Or do both and have 5 rerollable reds at range! Take that Ackbar!

Arquitens. Naked with Vader FTW.

*Wakka chukka wow wow"

Vader: "hello Arquitens, come in. I've been expecting you. Don't mind me, I was just buffing my helmet..."

Whoever Wins - We Lose!

Whoops sorry sorry that was the tagline to Aliens Vs Predator. Wrong franchise. Carry on.

Another way to rephrase the OPs question:

Arquitens + Interdictor OR Pelta + Liberty?

Both sides got a nice support ship and another ship that goes against the trend of the faction for new tactical options.

I'm way more excited to get the Arquitens on the table, so that's the winner for me

Man all I've seen so far (on FB and reddit) is people complaining about the Arkittens...
