Thank you FFG

By Johnnyreb, in Star Wars: Armada

So now we know we are getting multiples of all the good cards in the new wave, I just wanted to say thankyou FFG for not making me buy more than one of each pack......

$70 for the Hamerheads we are paying twice.

But not on the carrier that's getting doubles as well

I just checked the preview articles again... Isn't it kinda stupid to only include 1 of each of the non-unique titles? I mean they do rely on another ship having that title as well, right?

You're saying there is more than 1 Disposable Capacitor in the Quasar? Cuz I already know I'm getting at least 3 Quad Turrets with 1 Quasar and 2 HH.

Well my preorder won't be coming on time so I'm going to buy one tomorrow for the tournament on Saturday. So I might end up with 4 or more of all the good upgrades which really wasn't the plan.

I've seen pictures of an opened box and it's 2 capacitors and 2 boarders cards in the quasar

I'd consider taking the models and cards off your hands....

I can confirm there are 2 DCaps in the Quasar. I got mine today.

Okay, but do the Hammerheads come with two of each title and two if each card like the quads?

Mmmm with double copies of DCaps, external racks, and the TF titles, it seems like FFG really does care...

The only thing I could use more of is maybe a flight commander or flight controllers. BOTH of which would've been easy additions to the QF....but I'm not picky.

They're already only found in Imperial Upgrade Packs.

Next round should come in a Rebel Expansion.

Yeah Wave Sax is really looking like it might be the players Wave...(let's hope :) )

- New FAQing to unravel...

-With One of Each box you are getting a lot of value with three models ( 3 QBTs, 2 DCaps, 2 Boarding Troopers, 2 Boarding Engineers, 2 External Racks, etc.)...

-Hondo for everyone!

That's what the Picture says :D

I decided to downsize my initial HH purchase from 4 packs to 3, though I might get the fourth if it becomes necessary. Still planning to get 3 QF's. I'm really not pleased with a single unique title for the HH's. That is my only issue with this release currently.

The conspicuous absense of "Lightbringer" really does point to the potential of further Titles being available for things in the future (Wether that's through an upgrades pack, expansion, or campaign, I don't know...)

I mean, we got away with it with Interdictor because it was, at the time, stated to be a Unique Prototype, and Phoenix Home as, as far as I know, its the only specific one mentioned outside of the Clone Wars...

But I figure that, with the Task Forces, and the fact that Hammerheads and ramming makes them eminently disposable, most people are reluctant to get too attached by naming them :D

I really look forward to people throwing hammer heads at me with the garel title. I hope 1 crit on my isd was worth the cost of that ship

@Drasnighta

I'm hopeful that FFG will eventually release additional title cards for all existing ships either in an expansion pack or as part of a campaign. I'm a thematic guy so I can't fly a ship without a name. Home One , Avenger , Phoenix Home ...they're a living part of the narrative, like Titanic , Enterprise , or the Black Pearl is to those stories. A ship without a name seems sacrilegious, but that's just my point of view.

I don't know why FFG did what they did with the Interdictor . Its not a name that appears in Canon or Legends associated with an Immobilizer 418 Cruiser. They could have chosen from among several names including Claw , Grappler or Talon . And, with any class of ship where the class name is italicised, the class is named after the first ship produced of that class. Imperial class... Imperial . So, a sister ship of the Phoenix Home would have been the Pelta . You're right, there haven't been any Pelta's named outside the Clone Wars other than Sato's ship. Maybe we'll get lucky with Rebels season 4. I would like to see more of them.

This one has been answered:

Its because the Interdictor in Armada is not an Immobilizer 418 Cruiser.

It is an "Interdictor".

Star Wars: Rebels were tasked with presenting a new take on the Interdictor for Canonicity's Sake. They took inspiration from the Immobilizer and the Imperial Interdictor, and created what is essentially a Hybrid, with classic Immobilizer Looks, but a Size that was more befitting with the Imperial.

Then, it was presented in Rebels, initially, as a prototype . That Prototype - the First ship of the Line - carries the name of the Ship.

The Interdictor .

It wasn't until the end of the Season 3 that we were shown that there are more Interdictors in production with the Empire.

On the Narrative - I'm the opposite. I feel bad every time the Yavaris takes a hit and explodes, because, well, there goes Yavaris...

Which is why I concoct my own personal name for these things... No-one cares when the Nebulon-B "Cleansing Fire" takes a few hits... Or Admiral Belaris, who once trained under Senator Bel Iblis as part of the Corellian Navy, elects to lead a force into battle... It makes more sense for me :D
