Hello Armada community! Thanks for tuning into our livestream yesterday. I know there wasn't a ton of Armada news for you, so I wanted to share a few upcoming upgrade cards with you today. It's not much, I know, but I hope you enjoy!

THANK YOU FFG!!!

*CRIES* WE ARE LOVED

Thank you. 🙂

Ooh interesting that there is no Commander icon on Kraken or Kenobi...

Thanks so much for sharing these, FFG!

Oh - at least something! Thank you!

That's the same as current Commanders. For whatever reason they all only have the faction icon in the bottom right, not the upgrade card type in the bottom left.

But also, yay for card previews!

What have we learned from this? We need to whine louder! 😉

Interessting effects with lots of interaction.

These are great, thanks.

Thank you FFG!

Very cool. Thanks.

Very cool. Thanks.

These look really neat! I’m digging the artwork.

Side note: Clone only in the gunners card. So obviously there’s some upgrades locked behind droid and clone specific ships...Even if the card is already faction locked. Not sure how they might delineate the crews of ships but I’m excited to find out eventually.

and THANKS again FFG!

Really cool artwork! Thanks FFG!

Great thanks FFG. Looks real good.

Love the art! I could've been miataken for a screaming teen at their favourite groups concert when I saw Obi-Wan.

I see the abusive relationship is in full swing again. FFG forgot about Armada when they got drunk on X-Wing and decided to give us the love we deserve now that it's passed.

Been waiting for this for a long time now. I look forward to spending all my money on way to many models.

Thanks man... you're a legend!!

All of these cards look pretty useful.

I have concerns about Kenobi, but given the victory and arquitens are double redirect ships im hoping the pattern continues. "Readied" is my biggest worry there. You have to be able to spend a readied token, meaning it cant be accuracied or spent. Even on the double redirect ships, accuracy the green one and kenobi is useless. That seems like a lot of conditions on a 28 point commander. But I do like how it appears to stack with expert shield techs

Wow. Thank you so much for the update. Beyond grateful! Super pumped for Clone Wars in Armada!

Kraken seems like he'll get nasty if Separatist MSU is good in order to keep ships close to the enemy to trigger his ability, or just sacrificing a small ship to give dice modification to the big guns.

The bad motivator on the whining Protocol Droid gets the lube bath.

An MSU fleet of the new Separatist faction is, not surprisingly, a big incentive to buy many new small ships to make Kraken's ability work. 😉

For the Galactic Republic, I guess, we all anticipate several reskin versions of ships, e.g. CR90, Pelta/MedicalFrigate, Hammerheads. For the Separatists, small base ships are more likely going to be completely new ones.

Tambor looks really interesting. Even if you don’t have any friendly ships to use it on, you’re essentially moving 2 shields for free + your repair dial. Exciting.

I suspect that we'll actually see a lot bigger smalls or potentially medium ships: the DH-Omni, the Recusant-class, the Munificent, and the C-9979 will all fill that medium/big small niche, with likely a Providence-class (or maybe even the Malevolence) as the flagship.

Obi-Wan's ability will work quite alright with the Venators, which will probably have 2 redirect tokens just like the VSD and ISD.

Btw, how will we abbreviate Venator Star Destroyers?
