[MINOR SPOILERS] New ships in Rogue One

By DiabloAzul, in Star Wars: Armada

Everything that can happen in Armada, literally happened in Rogue One. That just feels me with so much fanboy glee! Almost as if Gareth Edwards plays the game.

We lack Ion bomb-torp-thingies.

And ramming Hammerheads!

If he played the game he would have put the Demolisher in there! :) but yeah you could recreate this battle with armada once we have shiny new ships.

Rules for hammerhead? You get to push one notch on opponents next move, the opponent can negate using a defense token. So you would have to 'ion' them first.

Clever application there!

Is it heresy to say that I wish they would go back and digitally redo parts of the OT space battles to make them better? I wouldnt change actors or general plot points or anything...but like, lets add lasers actually firing between the fleets at Endor for example...

Nope, if it's there it's in the background. No Rebels characters were spotted either.

When they are on Yavin IV an in the hanger of the Rebel base over the intercom you hear them call for General Syndulla. So while you don't see any Rebels characters its safe to assume they were there and that its the Ghost.

*** Is early morning here and have since seen this has been mentioned several times by others. ***

Saw Rogue One late last night after booking tickets only to find that the cinema was having a power cut. Last minute booking to get a seat on the other side of town at the last showing of the day. It was the 3D version. Anyone else find it a bit blurry?

Did you wear the glasses? :D

As soon as the X-Wing pilot identified as "Red 5" I grimaced for the poor chap.

I saw some ships that looked like a CR-90, but wayy more heavily loaded.... like a gunship version. something totally new.

Notice the VCX made it out at the end?

Disney isn't stupid. :D

That's why they call it the Ghost :P

Wave 6 is gonna be dope.

Yeah, Hammerheads and that capital Rebel ship need to happen. Willing to let the Imperials keep the Quasar carrier. :lol:

As long as a ramming upgrade or title are also created. (Plus the ability to create a corvette if the flagship is destroyed).

I only saw the "Ghost" for one scene but that was about it. Didn't notice it pulling away or blasting stuff. Did notice two twi'leks in the movie. Both female.

A VCX was parked to the side at Yavin when they first arrive there after Jedha. Coloring matched the Ghost.

And that rebel transport vs ISD... :o :P

It's confirmed: flotillas do not deal damage to other ships when overlapping :P

It's also confirmed that a Large ship does 3 dmg to a flotilla when ramming. So they need to change that rule.

Only when the large ship has just emerged from hyperspace, tyvm :P

The Star Wars Visual Guide has given us a name and model for the new Rebel craft.

R1>>>>>>force awakens. The later pushes everything in your face for nostalgia: Look, at-at, look, isd. An x-wing copy. Etc. R1 wasnt that direct, and you got a New story...

Vader in bacta-tank, Digital Tarkin face: Brilliant. Some logical flaws, like 2 storm troopes, an officer, and an inspector enters the tansports, and the troopers dont Come out 5 minutes later but a droid, and no One bats an eye... Also, leia just lost a ton of pals, barely made It out of the battle, but She has ear to ear smile on that rather disturbing Digital face. She looked a dunderhead fat Little bird...

Also, did you notice being a fat pilot slows don your figther? That must be the Case, yet again the fat dude died among the First ones.

That pilot that died was Red 5. Think about it.

It means they have a job opening! Totally gonna submit an application....

What was that ring thing that we saw in the trailers? Some kind of base or something? Would that be appropriate to have in the game at all, or was it specific to the plot of the movie/Death Star itself?

Without spoiling anything, it's a heavily armed space station and can probably be easily represented with minimal modification.

I'm sorry sir, but that position has already been filled .... 40 years ago.

Yeah, Hammerheads and that capital Rebel ship need to happen.

While Wookieepedia puts it as comparable to the databank's figure for an MC80, I would fudge it down a little as a model, and make it Medium instead of Large - since it's a lower MC number, implying a less advanced and less powerful ship, and the Rebels only have 1 Medium to the Empire's 2, anyway.

I'd give the Empire another Large as well.

However many Botha... I mean pilots died.

If we ever get hammer heads that tactic had better work

I want a fleet of hammerheads!

Hello good sir, may I introduce myself?
