This is why I abhor exclusive anything, I don't mind alt art cards as prizes ( as they are relatively widely available, and you can always use the original) but an actual model with different stats would be a terrible decision by FFG, and would alienate a large portion of the player base, I think.

In that case Legion & xwing sales should be taking a dive soon then. šŸ˜‚

Isn't the Eclipse far larger than a SSD?

I’d love an Eclipse class. One of my fav designs. But given the attention Armada gets I’m giving this odds of 3720 to1.

It's not as long, but much deeper/taller. So mass wise I believe yes it is larger

I abhor event exclusive stuff, so I devoutly hope nothing like this ever happens to Armada.

Lol well, the good news is the game likely won't get any event exclusive stuff.

Absolutely not. The new Legion Vader is bad enough, but at least it's the same stats, meaning you can just use the regular one, no problem.

An exclusive model, with improved stats, that could only be gotten at a particular event, would be awful. Scalpels would buy bunches at the event and it would be on eBay for ridiculous prices, and players who either had the time or the money, or both, to get it would have a huge unfair advantage.

This is why I abhor exclusive anything, I don't mind alt art cards as prizes ( as they are relatively widely available, and you can always use the original) but an actual model with different stats would be a terrible decision by FFG, and would alienate a large portion of the player base, I think.

I didn't think about that, and I agree with you on the ship card part. However, I still think that having a giant home one model would peak interest in armada from outside the fan base. The eclipse would definitely do that, especially since it is supposed to have a lot less firepower than an executor not counting the superlaser. That does explain the lack of truly ludicrous dice counts.

Oh yea. Where can I get that giant home one model? "Uhhhh. It was an event exclusive you can't get anymore." That will totally generate interest!

Shapeways, among many other places. Enjoy!

Except that what Xwing and Legion are getting is an alt model with alt art, but same stats. So you can use your regular models just fine still.

My issue is if they start doing event exclusive models with 'different' stats.

Despite their many stumbles in the past few years since the AsmodeeNA merger, I'm perfectly confident saying that FFG will never do such a thing.

They are not WizKids, afterall.

Knowing FFG, it would be an alternate paint job ISD. It would sell amazing and the forums would have multiple players saying how they now have bought their 6th+ ISD.

I forget who, but some company had a con exclusive model/figure/unit that you could also order off their website for the duration of the con. Once the con ended it was taken off the site.

ttcombat does that, i think they do rotate them out after a year or two though. prodos may as well, or at least things that were once con exclusive are now on their site.

Perfect timing considering they just released their larger sector fleets format!

Honestly instead of handing a new limited painted ship, I would very happy if they handed out revised cards for the game.

Thinks he means cards with the current, errated text on them, Dras.
