Meh, let the Rebels whine. Their time has finally come to an end.

They're already starting - well, as comments in the (otherwise) happy threads.

Mostly people griping because they were proven wrong, IMO.

I'd only be unhappy if rebels get nothing of something weak.. (Still getting up to speed on the news)

And I'm holding reservations till a full reveal such as ship points and admiral abilities, but we have news and that means Armada is aliveeee

It has already started. "It's too small" or "It shouldn't be in 400-point games." I love our community, but I feel that some of us just don't want to be happy.

Hmm, so are you saying you're open to joining the dark side or that you're an Ewok?

Why not both? Darth Wicket

Well I do think it’s too big and I’m not sure I would ever use it more than once, but I am getting this thing! It’s beautiful!!! ?

I see this as revenge for Ackbar toasting Imperial heavy-medum lists back in wave 2. Took a while, but here it is: Empire is unmatched supremacy of who has the bigger ship guns.

Now let's see if it makes a difference in a universe full of and fighters and kinda flotillas.

I thought I ended that with "Clonisher"

Not as long as we have A-Wing's to throw at your SSD's ?

Your solution didn't save us fans of medium-heavy ship play- we couldn't outgun Ackbar with sheer quantity of battery. Nothing your list did helped those who enjoyed running large batteries to win games, but it was the strategy that was needed to break Ackbar's ascendant dominance. This and Rhymerballs is what turned the tide, but the strategy of bringing bigger batteries to the table was effectively dead.

Fighters and small ships have been kind of dominating the game ever since, up until the latest wave. Now the SSD is going to step in and likely be the last word in largest battery exchanges- as it should be. It didn't make sense to me that the rebels were outgunning the Empire just because Ackbar's ships were broadside.

You realized Rieekan was the solution to all of your "hey I lost that" problems, leaving us where we are today.

My new imperial strat... SSD, moving speed 1, scoring all 3 firelanes at once...

Some of them did. Some of us got too hipster cool to play Rieekan and kept playing Red Fish. And with this announcement, I'm looking forward to running him again

I gotta admit I might be a little scared of Arvel Crynyd. I imagine every Rebel player will want to put him in their list just in case they face an SSD. Fortunately for the Empire he seems to be MIA. so...

Meh, let the Rebels whine. Their time has finally come to an end.
