Armada wishlist: What do you think is missing?

By dominosfleet, in Star Wars: Armada

I still don't have my F***ing Dreadnought class heavy cruiser, Corellian Gunship, Carrack cruiser, Lancer Frigate, K wing squadron, TIE Punisher squadron, Skipray blast boat and no scenario book.

Most of what I'd like to see are new squadrons:

  • ARC-170s
  • K-Wings (with a SLAM ability)
  • Assault Gunboats (also with a SLAM)
  • U-Wings
  • TIE Advanced Prototypes
  • Imperial Cargo Shuttle

That and more campaigns, especially a REBELS-era campaign.

I post this in every thread such as this:

Dual-faction Dreadnoughts!

And more Legends stuff.

SSD

Well this thread went off the rails fast.

Token-based guided weapons.

More variations in weapon dice than red, black, and blue.

More room in the sliding scale on the top end to allow for larger ships.

I had an idea for long range Green Dice. Maybe add a new range ruler, and the range on the green die is red dice range plus blue dice range added on to the end, so its even longer range than red dice, but it can't be used in close/medium range. Or maybe Its only restricted in close range. I thought this long range strength, close range weakness on large ships would tie in to the battle of endor where smaller rebel ships closed in to point blank range with the Imperial Star Destroyers, and perhaps by doing that they were able to avoid some of their most powerful armaments.

Squadron Upgrades (conservatively, I don’t want X-wing within Armada.)

Combative flotillas like the Braha’tok gunship

Task Force titles for older ships, including task forces that work accross more than one ship type.

Actual minefields, not just the objective.

A reverse version of Rapid Launchbays to dock squadrons already on the field. Maybe take it further to fix docked squadrons with a repair command and launch them again later with a squadron command.

Dual Cards: I don’t care what they do, I just think they’re cool. Maybe something that buffs different commands depending on the faceup side of the card.

An upgrade that allows you move shields above the shield value for a hull zone, with the caveat that the zone you take the shields from must be reduced to zero shields.

I could do this all day, but I have to get my kid from school. Adulting is hard. :D

+1 for squadron upgrades. Also some could have negative value and remove keyword(looking at you, escort, rogue[removing rogue might cause some troubles with sloane though]), or for a minimal cost removing heavy, etc...

Also I like the idea to be able to spend engineering Points to repair squads lets say within r1, but Max 1/turn.

Also, maybe its Just me, but imps could use a cheap small 'worth to spam' ship, something like trc90(ofc different, Just something in that range of usefullness/quality), while rebs could use a Solid medium ship more kitted towards figthiness than being Jack of all trades like the af.

More Errata! :)

What I think I want most is more objectives. After that I want more campaigns and more variants for the ships already in the game.

Dedicated Anti-Squad flotillas. Braha'tok was my first thought.

Squadron bonuses, specifically for taking certain squadron compositions. Ex: Take 4 X-Wing squadrons and 2 Y-Wing Squadrons and you get a free reroll on ship attacks. That idea.

Plus make it so that Most Wanted isn't the only red objective...

There are SOME exceptions, but really, Most Wanted is nearly ubiquitous.

Not in my Meta.

I've built some good Hammerhead ones with Opening Salvo, and I've been running squad heavy recently, so Precision Strike (with Dodonna? Yeah please) is my usual go-to there.

I will agree with the unstated point that there's a lot of red objective chaff. Looking at YOU, Close Range Intel Scan. I've heard good uses of Targeting Beacons, but I usually found that when I built that the obvious was that Most Wanted worked better in my cases. Station Assault just doesn't seem good to me. I have heard of several fighter lists that have run Blockade Run just to bring everything in close and better able to jump stuff with fighters, using the Blockade Run points as just extra bonus on top of blowing ships up with fighters. Not sure if it's worth it or not, though.

Massed Arquitens + Jonus. That's really about the only scenario I've been able to come up with, and it's still kind of an edge case, but it's definitely worthwhile in that list. I faced it with MC30s the other day and it was by far his strongest objective in the matchup.

edit: not that I disagree in general that MW needs a vigorous nerfening or the rest of them need some serious help. Probably just a no-flotilla-target rule would help immensely with this.

To be fair to you, you laid out some ground rules.

They were promptly ignored in the rush to be the first to yell out I WANT A PONY AND I WANT HIM NAME TO BE TARKIN AND ALSO I WANT A DREADNOUGHT, but you did lay them out.

Task force title cards for fleet compositions. For example:

Alderaan Survivors Convoy (3 titles, 3pts each: each title must be on 1 large base, 1 medium base, and 1 small base)

"During your activation, you may discard this card to obtain a Repair token, this token can be given to any ship with this title"

SpecOps Task Force (3 titles, 6pts each: each title must be on small base ships)

"Each ship with this title may exhaust this card add one red die to their anti-squadron armament"

Enforcers (2 titles, 9pts each: each title must be on a large base ship)

"Each ship with this title may exhaust this card to add one die of a color that is already in the attack pool"

I dunno, I just brain-shat these out, but I like the concept.

Ohhh, practical stuff?

I would love to see an official 6x3 mat produced, and MSRP under $80 please and thanks.

Squadron health markers - the bases are great way to do it but annoying sometimes.

450 fleet cap increase, along with "short" game rules.

Now see this is the kind of thing I can get behind!

My Han Solo pony can beat up your Tarkin pony.

I would love squadron health markers. Perhaps an Etsy seller with a 3D printer can come up with something. That really is a good idea though. I would be in for that as well as a 6 by 3 mat.
