Wave Heaven

By CaribbeanNinja, in Star Wars: Armada

My initial reaction to this wave is extremely positive.

-Looks like one of each will be plenty.

-Many new mechanics (Raid, Chaff, Activation shenanigans from Strategic Adviser and Pryce and Bail.)

-Both "new" ships are solid.

-Lots of new upgrades that need to be played with and honed.

-Anti-Yavaris tech because ****-you Yavaris.

Well Done FFG. Well done.

Armada is dead.

Im confused.

That is a running joke from Wave 3, specifically a user named AdmiralNelson.

Not gonna lie, I'm actually really happy y'all didn't have a clue as to what "Armada is dead" is/was.

It seems like this game has always had the "little brother" to X-Wing moniker. I'm not bashing X-Wing at all (and I don't play it), but I love Star Wars: Armada. I've loved this game since I couldn't see how a rebel could EVER blow up a VSD spamming engineering commands. :) Every time I used the maneuver tool, Star Wars music was ringing in my head. Oh those were the days.

We have a game now that is seven expansions in, and super deep. It will never be X-Wing big due to the size and time requirements. But oh, it is a good game.

Armada is dead. Long live Armada!

The Armada is dead!

Long live the Armada!

Its part of the fun that you have the admiral's icon. Its like your waving a captured flag or something. :ph34r:

I mean, two new ships and great upgrades?

Two guest articles by World champions @JJs Juggernaut and Reinig?

Now a guest article by @Truthiness ?

We're out of it for a little while and now Armada get delusions of grandeur.

All these new cards, I seriously can't even right now.
Like, I want to list build SO many different things. I'll be fleet building for HOURS today.

This wave has done more to shake up the meta than the last two waves combined.

I OnlY don’t like one thing, the same model of isd I would prefer refits on a box like campaing (a better one and with vics refits!!!)

Raddus is insane and really nothing else compares. Call me in Armada 2.0

Hopefully, it won’t choke on its Aspirations.

Armada is a zombie... this wave looks so freaking good... or it could be a dud.
