Let's talk SSD speculation!

By Rune Taq, in Star Wars: Armada

So what else do you think or HOPE will come with the SSD?

I think we will get a little more than just the normal ship expansion components. Maybe new obsticales? Maybe a small scenario like xwing huge and epics had?

What would be awesome is if they anounced that the SSD contains an iteration to the Corellian Conflict Campaign or a new campaign all together. (unlikely but a man can Dream can't he!)

Based on this image by FFG I'm gonna weigh in and say I doubt we'll get much more than what's already been previewed.

Personally, I'd love some new SSD specific objectives, but again, I doubt we're gonna see that here.

Contents are already on display, so no point speculating.

What you see is what you get.

I bet there is 1-2 lbs of packaging material with the SSD.

What about that card that coukd be a ship card but is backwards? First from the left, perhaps a rule cheat sheet covering Huge ships?

All that is left to speculate is rules, mainly deploment what base you put the manuver tool into, how fighters deploy with this ship, will motti work for this ship etc. There is also the wierd circular arrow token, that I am assuming its a pass token but could be something else.

That's Executor II class ship card.
Take a look at: https://starwars-armada.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Star_Destroyer_Expansion_Pack to see what's revealed and what's left.

"At the start of each round, gain "1 pass token", when it is your turn to activate you may instead play this token and pass your activation to your opponent.

You guys are no fun... There has to be some kind of rule sheet included for the new huge size class. I'm still hoping there is a little more they have not spoiled yet.

new rule coming with the SSD:

"If your opponent Green Squadron scores a Crit on any rear arc of SSD, destroy SSD at the end of current squadron phase"

(Well why not...)

I think they might errata PDR - looking at the duplicate cards that come with the SSD and are only found in Rebel expansions; RLB, HIE, PDR - PDR is completely under powered. I think we might see it change to "While attacking a squadron at close-medium range you may reroll one of your #crit icons"

There is a little sheet in every expansion that says what is in it and talks about the new keywords so yes we will have a rules sheet of sorts for this ship, and thats the document I most want to see followed up by the FAQ that will no doubt drop soon after if not right as this guy does.

It would only be worth considering if it just let you reroll regardless of the die face.

The only thing we could speculate about are the special deployment and/or move rules that apply to the SSD.

And possible rules on half-points. And maybe if Konstantine will get fixed to work with Huge ships.

Fun doesn't make it true though.

Ok. So let Konstantine work on large ships. Your SSD then has to have an interdictor, VSD, or ISD with it. Which leaves you at most 107 for a commander, upgrades, and squads.

Been a while, is quasar a medium? Would that work too?

I hope custom sleeves are included for the ship sheets, but I doubt it.

How about speculating on a release date!!!

Was that a typo? Should it have been April 1?

There will be a little bag with lots of fun and excitement. There always is, when I open an Armada box.

May 1

It will bother me if I can’t find sleeves to fit the ship cards.

I'm expecting more than one page of rules to cover the strange circumstances that will arise (Needa, Jerjerrod, and cards that say "large or medium only" for example).
