The nebulon above the cr 90 - is it me or is the engine block + spine missing?

Dras would be correct.

My money's on the Braha'tok gunship, since it's the most obvious capital ship from the movies that hasn't been seen in the game yet. After the big ships of Wave 7, I'm expecting W8 to be focused on smaller ships, and hopefully a squadron pack as well.

The bill for little plastic ships are printed cardboard!

What about the Raddus (MC85 Star Cruiser) from TLJ, which was know as the "Dawn of Tranquility" while it was in service before Military Disarmament act that occured after the Battle of Jakku, so around the time of the Original Trilogy?

Give me interdictor upgrades!!!

more experimental retrofits.

Ion Vortex - 2 pts - discard to place token within long range. All squadrons at distance 3 must immediately move distance 1 towards the token. Remove token after being resolved.

Shield Damage reflectors - 3 pts - If the hull being attacked by a ship has at least 1 shield exhaust to reduce damage by 2. Select Any ship at close range that immediately takes 2 damage.

So much cool stuff you could do with experimental retrofits.

I agree, the Interdictor really needs some love. It's the only Armada ship I don't own just because it's so overpriced on points.

I like your first idea, the second seems a little undercosted.

I really wish the interdictor was more akin to the EU immobiliser 418.

The issue that most agree with is that the retro fit cost is already built into the base cost of interdictor. So going off of that creates a bit of a development dilemma as its currently the only ship that can take retrofits. So you can use the upgrade as a way of bringing down the cost of the ship by purposely under costing powerful upgrades.

The problem emerges when FFG eventually wants to introduce another ship that can take retrofits. Do you purposely over cost the new ship because the upgrades are already too cheap?

Bottom line is interdictor needs some love. I’m fine either way FFG wants to fix it either by creating cheap powerful upgrades or releasing new ship cards that brings the base point cost of the interdictor down to make it viable.

I'd love to see the Rebels get the CC-7700 (medium base) to add some more retrofits, and the Brahatok (maybe as a combat flotilla?) with the Empire getting the Dreadnought cruiser (medium base, slow, broadside heavy) from Rebels and the Arrestor Cruiser (small base, fast) from Solo.

How about the Acclamator?

The Acc 1 could go a bit heavier on the new raid mechanic as it was primarily a troop carrier.

The assault version could be more of a straight red dice forward arc triangle we all know and love.

In James Luceno's Tarkin (Canon) there is the Secutor-class star destroyer, which looks (on the little information there is about it) like the Acclamator and also functions as a transport and command platform ( Conquest Used by Vice Admiral Rancit). I'd expect to see Venators before something like this though.

Talking of that book, wouldn't it be nice to get a stealth corvette along the lines of Tarkins Carrion spike ?

I wouldn't mind a squadron that can hand out chaff tokens.

Its long shot for me but i would like to see the Arc Hammer. Granted it was only used to make the dark troopers but i think it would look nice on a board.
