Should all Small Ships come in 2-packs?

Do you have the data on the volume of empty space in two single blisters vs the single larger double pack?

Well, the area taken up by the blisters is also complicated by the long fin area. I've seen some packages where they're placed to utilize that space, and I've also seen it just wasted within the larger box of product shipment.

However, if I do recall, the HH box is larger than 2 CR90 blisters.

I believe the amount of packaging cardboard and plastic difference is basically negligible.

The HH pack is the largest pack for Armada. The other large ships came in it.

Exactly. Though I think the Chimaera is larger

When or If? - what do you know, Crabbok?

I know nothing for certain other than the fact that we STILL don't have Piett.

So dude...... honestly. Cmon. We STILL don't have PIETT!

ISDs are biggest.

As long as they don't release two repainted nebulons in one pack with taskforce titles I will buy. If they do, I will buy reluctantly.

Man, have you seen how much it costs to try to compete at a high chess level?

... the further one goes into it, the more expensive it gets.

Wait what?!? Are you saying there's a version of chess out there where you have to buy booster packs? Or (this is clearly the more reasonable option here) that the fees for competing in the *whatever the international organization for chess is called* (i whish it was named battle chess) events and ranking get progressively more and more expensive. If so let us ensure that they do not learn of games workshop.

I never understood why super fancy chess boards didnt come with expansions that were basically the pieces in various colors.

As someone who once made a chess set out of Ral Partha and IWM battle mech miniatures at $20-35 each....

... that got expensive as a gift...

just in materials before I even add time and effort to paint it...

I would prefer that they stick with one ship per package. I have built — but not flown — several fleets with three Hammerheads but none with four. I really want to buy a third Hammerhead, but I have been reluctant to because I don't feel like I need four.

And... the day after I wrote this I bought another pair of Hammerheads and flew all four last night. lol

Nebulons could be great - they are very close to excellence as-is.

Weapons teams would make them superb. Redirect would be nice too. Imagine if they had the ability to move backwards one?

I'd actually be ok with a Nebulon pack if it included a ton of cool new stuff. I'm always looking for ways to make them into a beastmode build.

You are gonna be so unhappy when the Executor comes out....

I will never understand how much hope can be maintained in people. /Orders the bombardment of Lothal. /is attacked by space whales.

If they made Neb B taskforce titles along the lines of 7th Fleet, exhaust one on another Neb B to be able to redirect but disables Engi if exhausted.

Edited by Karneck

how about one for Victories & kittens... called clone wars tech... exhaust to make a speed 1 move backwards ... unable to use Nav command is used

:P

Nah, but it works with ships that cost around 40 points.

I rather see big packs with z-95 squadrons and e-wings. I dont need 6-8 ghosts
