Are rebel player excited for the Starhawk?

By Noosh, in Star Wars: Armada

The commander seems a bit underwhelming but I've always wanted Starhawks in the game so definitely very excited.

Super excited about Starhawk. Finally a ship thats not Calamari (not that I dont like Calimaries, love them). But the price wtf.

Still im buying one.

Only Rebel player so no Imperial ships for me.

Cant wait to see what it can do on my Raddus or Reikan fleets.

Raddus dropping a Starhawk will be fun to watch and play!!

20 additional points for an MC 75 that can guarantee five braces...

Wait 5 braces? How?

I think he means five brace-uses. Not 5 individual tokens.

I am very much looking forward to it, I really want a large non-mon ship.

Agate makes defense token shenanigans besides sloane very angry, which is very thematic

SSD, rebellion in the rim, and Starhawk/onager are all awesome, but more so than anything I'm looking forward to them flipping the meta on its head with many new modes and methods of winning games.

I have some interest in Starhawk. Agate provides strong "Protect the King" power which I atleast will try out in a MC80H carrier fleet. With Wedge apart the cards in the Starhawk I am currious with its possibilities as carrier. My current guesses put it in the same carrier power range as a MC75 (since its main design is being a brawly Warship).

Im just glad that rebels now have a new ship to look forward to.

Looking carefully at the size of the ship and its base, this thing is BIG. So I feel the price is justified. I am 40% Rebel, so yeah I'll take one.

Not really, hoping it won't have a bunch of must have cards.

My thoughts as well. Maybe I'll become enticed as more is released, but it just feels wrong for the rebels to have something more powerful than an ISD.

I'm really hoping Armada gets card packs like we've seen with some other FFG games.

I'm an Imperial player and I'm excited for the Starhawk! Bring it on!

Yes!!! Cannot wait

Always excited for more rebel ships. I'll take 3 πŸ™‚

Personally I think this new ship is not going to be stronger than an ISD. The upgrade bar is really all we need to see to give a good comparison. I feel like it will lack a defensive retrofit slot.

I look forward to totally dragging Imp players with it.

Get it?! Get it?! Dragging!? Because it has strong tractor beams ...

No?

You might if had more luck with a play on tractor. Like:

I look forward to attracting alot of hate when fielding this ship.

Or

I'm attracted to the painful pounding that this ship will provide to my opponents.

Well if it makes you feel any better, it's technically a New Republic ship, not Rebel Alliance. πŸ˜‰

It’s definitely a ship that can pull its weight in a fleet. I can see the draw.

It was supposed to be a flat joke, that was the joke...

unless your obtuseness was your joke, in which case we could just end up dragging this conversation down to a fiery end.

I mean I really hate to be pushy, but your joke really needed to be grounded.

Yes.

I will enjoy this ship.
