Yeah, when you ignore reasoning, I can see how you'd think things change randomly for no reason. But Armada is a different game with different rules, and I was referring to the consistency FFG designers have shown in XWMG. And I didn't say one card aspect was more important than the other, I said one name was more correct than the other name.

Admiral Ackbar

huge ship only

once per round when a friendly ship within rage 1-3 reveals its manoeuvre, you may change its manoeuvre to any green or white move on its dial. then both ships receive a stress

I would make it that the ship he is on must not be stressed to preform this action but i don't know how to say that without it sounding silly

As cool as i think Ackbar would be, i dont think we will see him in Xwing. what ship would he come with?

You might have notice Ackbar is Rebel (first names) not Imperial (Agent), instead you prefer waving your ignorance like a flag, to be funny. Why is it so hard for people to see reasoning and admit when they are wrong? Egos.

Show me the post where you were asking the same thing about Carlist? "Who the **** is Carlist?"

My take would be

•Admiral Ackbar

At the start of the activation phase, announce a maneuver. Once per round, when a friendly ship reveals its maneuver dial, it may rotate its dial to that maneuver.

Cost 6

I tried to make him as close to broken as possible without creating an NPE. Basically, he's like Palpatine, but with maneuvers instead of dice. He is also relatively limited because you have to think about the dials on all your ships. He's sort of like a less conditional Cassian, but without the action requirement. So I tried to cost him appropriately, as being somewhere between the two.

This is more innovative than passing around evade tokens, but epic ships have straight and bank maneuvers that read the same as standard, and "Navigator cannot be equipped to huge ships," so you'd end up with the same restriction as Navigator for Ackbar.

You've made him huge ship only and his ship receives a stress token? - huge ships aren't stressed so I wouldn't worry about the wording. Perhaps an ion token if you need a cost.

I have to disagree with your pessimism about us getting Ackbar because the Rebels have three Generals in the game already, and a space navy Admiral is much more fitting to the XWMG. There are at least three more Star Wars movies on the horizon, and Ackbar is still alive in episode 8, so it just a matter of what ships they put in the movies that you might find him on. If he is prominent in episode 8 then there's a better chance. They add Kylo Ren as a pilot of the shuttle but we never saw him fly it, so we don't actually have to see him in the ship he comes with, it just has to have a crew slot.

"At the start of combat, you may perform a free coordinate action over a friendly ship at any range, even when you are stressed. That ship may perform that action even if it is stressed."

This is him at the Battle of Endor.

Huge Ship Only

When attacking, if you only attack with secondary weapons from your side arcs (include reference card defining side arcs, aka the CR-90's arcs), you may add 2 attack dice.

Hey, why not, it works in Armada.

Admiral Ackbar (3p):

-At the start of the activation phase you guess aloud the bearing and speed of any enemy ship at Range 1-3. For each ship you are wrong, distribute that many Focus tokens to any Friendly ship at Range 1-3 from you. For each ship you are right, distribute that many Focus tokens to any Enemy Ship at Range 1-3 from you.

Because Akbar should give you bonus when the enemy traps you!

My take.

Dual Cards:

• Adaptability
• ARC Caster
• Intensity
• Pivot Wing

Oh, if only U-wings had canon slots, it would be fun making a list with these.

This is giving the coordinate action to any one ship with a crew slot? Squad Leader plus? This has good potential I think. Dodonna's Pride also comes to mind.

Are you asking the ship to give up it's primary weapon attack, for a 2 dice attack bonus? I don't feel the Ackbar in this.

Although I don't play the game, I believe Armada Ackbar is before the combat phase, kind of like Snap Shot .

A Snap Shot like ability for Ackbar would probably be game changing.

I like humor, I think it's funny how you ignore facts and reasoning; people whose egos are so swollen they can't admit wrong are funny to me.

As I said before, when you mock someone you can try to excuse yourself by saying you're funny, but you're just being a f*******g troll.

I was just thinking it was backwards, "you guess wrong your get prizes, you guess right the enemy gets prizes," but being able to exploit that by choosing to guess wrong all the time and having to assume it means one token for one ship, as currently worded doesn't work. I like the complexity though... @Odanan does this inspire anything...

As a thought experiment, say you took the CR90 with the Dodonna's Pride title, then took Cassian Andor...

what might Ackbar bring to better that combination or synergise more?

This has nothing to do with ego*. And it wasn't mocking, either. It was a comparison between a humorous scene in a movie, and another character who most people know by their title rather than their first name. Pretty straightforward. You know what makes a joke not funny? Explaining it. If you didn't see that movie or didn't find the scene or comparison funny, that's perfectly fine. Always playing the defensive ******* card when it is in fact you who are being a troll, is not.

*Except maybe yours, because you're always on a mission to prove you don't find other people funny when they are to themselves and many others. "You are very smart."

I'm thinking somewhere in the mix of those two cards is something really Ackbar like and really good.

Saying "Who the f**k is Gial?" is not a movie quote. Your misquoting me to defend his trolling that's all. You could have just stayed the f**k out instead of adding to the trolling, if you didn't like the trolling. Since you say you care about ideas, how many has he added or have you added for that matter, compared to me? and then ask who's trolling.

5 pts

All friendly ships, anywhere on the board, all defense dice, every time it defends; that'll be much more than 5 points.

I would have all my high agility ships stressed all the time: Tycho Celchu & Gial Ackbar, new BFFs.

For 5 points you might want to make it range 1-3, or must reroll all, or reroll one.

Admiral Ackbar, crew, rebel only, 5 points

At the start of the combat phase, you may discard this card. If you do, all friendly ships at range 1-3 of your ship may reroll up to 2 defense dice when attacked until the end of the round.
