Now that X Wing 2.0 is coming, could the "something big" be Armada 2.0? or maybe third trilogy core set? Thoughts?

maybe but are we there yet?

Theory: When they said "something big is coming" they really meant "something bIG" is comming, with bIG standing for better IGs. That's right, Wave 8 is actually Wave IG-88. We'll get IG-88 admiral, IG-88 officer, IG-88 crew, and more IG-88 squads. Like in X-Wing they'll share abilities. The combo-jank will be ridiculous.

I for one welcome our new robot overlords.

Disclaimer: my theory is just as legitimate as anyone else's and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise

Ahem.

Cough.

"Otherwise."

they only said something big was coming to make us throw out ideas as to what we would consider something big! like someone asking so where do you want to go out to eat and them saying: Guess!

it's going to be an SSD combat flotilla in a clone wars expanson box. it's be exactly what we asked and also terrible because it is 3 ideas in one!!!!!

I wonder if they messed up like the hyperspace report and that the big thing they were talking about was really XW 2.0.

"something big is coming for armada"

"it's a dissapointment, a big dissapointment!"

big dissapointment would be the arrestor Cruiser... this ship is plain ugly

Way too early for a 2nd edition, and it would need to be at least as good, and need to be able to use my existing models, would need something extra to justify rebuying. Otherwise, I will most likely stick with what I have.

There wouldn't be a point of making an Armada 2.0. Not only because it's much better balanced than X-Wing ever was but also because FFG invests as little into Armada as possible. 2.0 would require as much material and work as 2 or 3 waves. Ar this point I' m not sure they are willing to keep the game alive that long.

anazing how often we restart the same discussion, just below a new thread. again and again.

its almost as we have nothing else to talk about.

it's more fun this way!

At this point I think it was just a hint at a new fan-written article focused on tactics involving BIG GS DARKLIGHTER

Big as in the Executor

I hope the "something big" is a tournament/scenario squadbuilder app for Armada somewhat like they announced for XWing. The game is balanced enough that we don't need big changes nor a reprint, but I think it would be a big thing if certain combos are either encouraged (points reduction) or tougher to pull off (new requirements or increased points cost). For example, after many little nerfs to the Rieekan + Yavaris + rebel bombers list, we had yet another worlds where it was on the top tables... if FFG thinks that isn't good for the game then some sort of criteria that defines that list could cost an extra 10 points or something, making it less viable without nerfing the cards again. On the other hand, FFG could have seasonal themed events where some lists get a points discount for including certain cards.

I think if Armada games were more thematic, it would be a great thing for the game, and would make it stand apart from their other minis games a bit more...
