What Ship/Class do you want to see most next wave?

By DScipio, in Star Wars: Armada

So the title is the topic. :)

Just write a ship class (no matter the faction) or Squadron with nothing else in a comment.

If you favorite ship is already mentioned just like that comment.

Would be cool if we got the Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier seen in Star Wars Rebels

Going to break my dirty secret to you here; I don't actually like Star Wars all that much... I know, I know "then why are you playing a Star Wars game?!" is the usual response. Here's the thing though: I like the game way more than the theme, and I like how the style of play evokes WW2 style naval battles. As a result, however, I know smeg all about the EU/lore ships.

With that said, and with the advent of Flechette Torpedoes, I'd love something small with dual ordnance slots in exchange for it's turbolaser slot. A true, nippy little missile carrier, as a PT boat style option. Nothing but black dice, but plenty of them on all sides.

I'm not sure if anything in the SW universe actually fits that ideal, but I do hope so.

Also, some kind of assault boarding ship. A flotilla base style ship that, you can use to execute boarding raids on medium/large ships. Something like a black crit effect that cancels all attack dice and allows you to search through your opponents damage deck, select a crew critical effect, and deal that face up. We've all seen boarding raids in the movies, so it's thematic enough to boot.

Supeeeer star destroyeeeeeeer and the mc viscount

Medium class ships.....not sure what though

mc-75 with the ability to launch a CR-90 if the ship is destroyed.

mc-75 with the ability to launch a CR-90 if the ship is destroyed.

Only if we get an ability to swallow a Cr-90 for the ISD.

Imperial Lancer Frigate....dedicated anti-squadron ship.

Bolding my own for emphasis.

This is the only good idea for a boarding style effect I have seen on this forum. No new messy rules, just a flavorful upgrade. Very clever. Call it Breaching Charges or something like that. Maybe limit it to being in range 1 of the target.

Rebels - Hammerhead Corvette. With a special rule for ramming

Bring the all migthy SSD and the Viscount with two large bases. I don't really care about the fact that it will not respect the scalling!!!

Assault Frigate Mk I - Rebel medium base ship

The Rebels need another medium ship.

The Empire needs another large ship.

I have no idea what they are.

What is amazing to me is how they could possibly add any more squadrons. The mix is so good and diverse that I do not envy their position. They need to sell more but I don't see how to add more.

For something more playable, Lancer-Class Frigate and Corellian Gunship for the AA role. The Quasar carrier and the Ton-Falk carrier who could be really good with RLB. The dreadnought-Class for both side and why not the CC-7700. It could be fun for the Rebels to have this too (gravity well projector) for the Corellian Conflict. But for that last one, because there is only one well inside that ship, it could cancel hyperspace jump only to ship that are at 1-3 distance.

I agree with Felswrath with the AF Mark 1 with a medium base.

This could be a good start :)

P.S. Enough squadron for now. ;)

Both sides should each have at least 2x Large ships, 4x medium ships and 8 small/flotilla ships.

That would create enough diversity for years of game play. (We have alot of diversity now but I want more :P )

Brahatok flotilla!!!!

Two legends titles available.

Give it gunnery team and off retro. Hope for an ordn on one version instead of retro

Evade brace

2 shields front 1 everywhere else.

Blue and a black out the front. Single blues out the rest.

Double black AA on one version single blue on the other.

3 hull.

Speed 3.

33ish points

I would love to see the Marauder and DP20 frigate from Empire at war along with the Quasar Carrier from Rebels.

You lost me (and probably everyone else) at "I don't actually like Star Wars"...

For the Imps:

Just some artwork that we already know FFG has.

And of course, the almighty Executor

Id Love to also see more ace Pilots for the fighters we already have, allowing for more unique fighter lists and would allow me to have an excuse to buy more fighter packs rofl

A flotilla of Raiders on a medium base.

I'd honestly like to see one of the smaller Star dreadnaughts. There are several in ffg age of rebellion supplements. I'm sure at least one would be about right on a double stand when out next to an ISD.
