Could it be a Last Jedi tie in?

I hope not.

Am I the only one not interested in the sequel stuff?

I did love the The Force Awakens , and I'm eagerly anticipating The Last Jedi . However, I don't want to mix and match in the games. I want to play just one era - the original.

I stayed for the q and a and did get a question in asking if there would be another campaign coming. They said they were really pleased with how corellia did but are NOT working on anything at this time. He also apologized as it was not what I probably wanted to hear


I assume you Force choked the fellow for his failure.

Let's just hope they're lying about it (but I imagine they're not).

Seriously, didn't you see what happened to the last guy?

Mesaa sorry Annie! :lol: (im crying inside at the lack of release info :( )

Something big is coming alright. It's the massive **** FFG just took all over Armada.

I'm actually ok with not getting any info. I got Legion to look at now. Sucks for the rest of you if you don't like Legion. Sorry you didn't get any news guys :(

I am kinda reminded of FFG's stance before the the new X-Wing core hit during the first Force Friday.

Maybe there are a bunch of new ships coming in The Last Jedi.

Im not saying it's highly likely, but Force Friday II is on September 1st of this year. If the next Armada release is secretive, it could slip around then.

I have heard rumors of Finn sneaking into an Imperial fleet and aboard a mega Destroyer; as well as a New Republic Admiral played by Laura Dern.

I like that they added sequel era ships to XWing, but I personally dislike seeing them in the same list as original era ships. That problem would only be magnified in Armada, with fewer ships for potential new sub-factions to use.

I dunno, the sequel era stuff has a pretty similar aesthetic. I wouldn't mind that nearly as much as I would clone wars seperatist stuff. Venators are cool tho.

Nuetral factions. Corellian Defense force etc.

Okay, so, take what was said there.

Then realise that they were asked about a Star Wars ground combat game just like Star Wars: Legion at SDCC, and they flat out said they were not planning anything on that.

... mere weeks ago...

Well, sure, they weren't planning on it. The planning was done. 100% accurate statement.

;)

I have to be the ONLY person in the world that likes them. having said that I've never read any of the novels they were in, I'm just familiar of their existence as a base.

I'm with you. I was reading those books while they were coming out, and got too busy to keep up about halfway through, but I really liked the YV.

I'm going to throw this one out. If not the SSD, what if they introduced a Scum faction?

Nope, don't want or need.

I agree, I'm just throwing out ideas trying to figure out what "something big" is.

The one thing that nearly everyone I speak to agrees on is the need for a cheaper starter set to get more people into the game.

Couldn't be "Scum", in the way X-Wing has done it, as those groups never had ships large enough to fight capital ships.

IF they did a third faction, it would be something more like 'non-aligned systems', and be things like the Corellian Sector, Corporate Sector Authority, Mining Guild, etc. Presumably along the lines of the initial S&V pack, it would include re-basing templates for existing Victory-class ships and Z-95s (used by the Corporate Sector Authority for example), Y-Wings/YT-1300s/YT-2400s/HWK-290s, and Nebulon-B and CR-90s. I'd assume, like 'Most Wanted', it would also have to include some actual miniatures, but...kinda at a loss, there. 'Armada' hasn't done repaint releases like 'X-Wing' did, so I sort of doubt that. I dunno, maybe some Clone Wars-era leftover? A Recusant- or Providence- class ship? Or, heck, one of the old EU Rendili Stardrive-type 'Dreadnoughts' ? I mean, sure, COMPLETELY rejected by current canon, but...dang, those would be cool to see...

Calling it now: the "big" thing is a supernova. We're getting the Suncrusher, not the Executor.

Trust.

Those will be the first two expansions for Legion :-P

"Big" in the ffg's scale of efforts seems a two lines clarification about Quad Battery Turrets in the next FAQ to me. :D

I want a 6x3 playmat of the Executor.

Come on fools, we all know gungans dont have ships! Gungan are the expansion for star wars legion, you know what id actually main Gungan in a game just to troll people, my god would it be ******* amazing. Just like if Star Wars battlefront had jarjar binks as a hero for naboo maps battles, id probably pick him lol.

Honestly I wouldn't mind a Hutt or Black Sun fleet, but I still live on the expectation of it being the SSD
