Someone mentioned now that imps have more admirals....but did they...konstantine...tagge....Tarkin....there is 3 there that are mostly useless. Even Garm has his place and is at least cheap.

Fair point!

I like the idea of FFG just throwing in the towel on Capt K and Tagge and just saying "here, we'll give you 2 fresh ones instead" 😂

So? Cracken and Garm are jokes. Madine, while I've had fun with him, isn't good either.

Don't diss Tarkin, he has a place. He became more useful with Sovereign and he works great with token activated upgrades like Engine Techs and Projection Experts. Krennic will be a great pair with Tarkin now as well with his CF activated effect.

Sorry, I just happen to really like Tarkin, yes he is probably over costed but he is super fun when you build a fleet around his ability.

I almost always use Tarkin, and to great effect. First turn everyone gets a nav token, second turn everyone gets an engineering, then it varies between Nav, ConFire, and Engineering. Just depends on what I need to do extra that turn with a majority of ships.

Did the enemy move in a way that if I used a nav I would have better shots? Have I taken a lot of damage on multiple ships? Do I need to put out more damage? I can double up command dials with a token in a turn if I need to, or I can mix it up.

Tarkin's let me put 10 damage on the rear of an ISD with an Arquitens with EA before. In one shot. It felt good.

Cracken is pretty good actually

He's outclassed by Mon Mothma in my opinion as every ship Cracken affects also has dodge tokens and you don't need to be running around at speed 3 or higher in order to get the effects

Yes and no.

St long range, He’s basically like spending an evade before the enemy has even shot, allowing you to spend “a second” evade for even less damage.

And cracken doesnt care about accuracies

Meanwhile, I like how @Crabbok
must have gotten a, uh, worded email... or something... but a thread on their own forums with all the info isnt shut down and/or deleted. Weird choices.

True. After the video takedown I thought I would soon get a polite, yet firm, request to delete the intel on this post, but, alas, I did not.

It would seem incredibly pointless & churlish to get someone to remove a video on YouTube when the info on here remains. I imagine many more people look at the website.

Instead, they're fixing it while also unbalancing the number of admirals (12 to 10) and the number of faction-specific officers (20 to 14).

1 Ahsoka Tano
2 General Draven
3 Leia Organa
4 Lando Calrissian
5 Walex Blissex
6 Major Derlin
7 Raymus Antilles
8 Toryn Farr
9 Adar Tallon
10 Bail Organa

Who are the 4 rebel officers, that I miss?

If you count faction specific upgrade cards (without commander but not only officers), then:
11 Caitken and Shollan
12 Jyn Erso
13 Cham Syndulla

But then you have to count Darth Vader Boarding Team for Imperials, so it would be
13:21, wouldn't it?

To be fair, it may have something to do with the level of visibility that Youtube has. I don't know how many of us have experience dealing with licensing, and launching products.... but I must assume it's a process that can be complicated and even delicate at times. I don't want us to forget just how cool it is that we are...in fact... GETTING a SSD in Armada! And that is a really cool fact!

But seriously if we don't get some "Official" new soon I may have to start digging through more 80's tunes....

Oh, it can be. I've dealt with mass media production for the Army for years now, and anytime we send out a new product its a nightmare. Doesnt matter if that product is a new facebook ad for recruiting, a short youtube clip, or if we are printing millions of leaflets to drop on some poor guy's farm over in the middle east.

Everything, and I mean everything, seems to go wrong. Printers go down, boxes of product get messed up, someone shreds 200k of the item 12 hours before the plane shows up... something alway goes wrong.

My local store says they didn't receive any Armada ssd promo material.

That's why I play Vader. And I will keep doing it, in one version or another.

You're right. I must have been counting Lobot, Ice Cream Machine guy, the Ewok Sergeant and Stanley from accounting 😛 OR, I just happen to have confused the number of currently released Imperial officers with the Rebel ones. Pick whichever option you like most :)

God- D***** Stanley!

Stanley from Accounting

3pts Officer

Once per round, you may exhaust this card. If you do you may loudly proclaim how much $$ you've spent on FFG products, how it has impacted your budget/life, and you gain either one Concentrate Fire token or a Navigate Token.

Not even an Engineering token to help you fix the problem?? That is cold.

FFG not rushing on an official article it seems...

They will probably punish the leak by releasing 5 Keyforge designer blogs instead.

Nothing for this game seems to be rushed. For better or worse.
