GenCon Online

By shmitty, in Star Wars: Armada

Man, I'd love Falcon Rey and Finn boarding team. Probably has the ability to make one ship unable to fire its guns out of an arc for a turn. That'd be pretty cool.

Or how about Millennium Falcon Rey? Lando and Han are so overrated anyway.

Yea as a scavenger of spacers for years it’s awesome she taught herself to fly the ships while she was taking them apart

I'm just excited about the prospect of Vice Admiral Holdo as an Armada commander, who rightfully warry of FO infiltration of the fleet (how else would they be tracked through hyperspace?) was able to make the difficult choice to keep her plan out of the ears of ANYONE who wasn't need to know.

Thank you.

YES!

I would want a new model with the escape pod , though.

It's pretty clear that what this game is missing more Millennial Falcons - we could have one piloted by Rey, and then two more Prequel-era Millienial Falcons piloted by Han and Lamdo, respectively.

What about the Rose Tico Officer Card?

"If an enemy ship is making an ignition attack, discard this card to negate Sunder's ability to discard an upgrade card for the remainder of the round. The enemy ship still gets to make the ignition attack."

How about “At the beginning of the ship phase you may discard this card. If you do, you cannot be declared the target of an attack, and you cannot declare any attacks.”

Nothing but love for the best quote of the movie.

Why not three? We need more droid pilots and L3-37 doesn’t get NEARLY enough love.

It’s not my problem that you’re functionally illiterate and can’t handle reading anything longer than a tweet.

Well, you struggled to read through my post while others didn't. I guess you're not skilled person either.

@shmitty you must feel like a proud papa for creating a thread with so many good ideas and varied discourse on how awesome Disney Star Wars is. If I knew how to link pictures on this forum I’d attach one of Gatsby cheersing you

I watched TFA (again) yesterday I while I still think it's not too plausible, the fact that the Millennium Falcon was almost uncontrollable being piloted by just one person was something I liked.

I feel like this part of the movie was very missunderstood.


Maybe Commander Holdo could make your fleet immune to dial-altering effects? No Slicers, Raid, etc?

Also, Mandator Class! Imagine a Huge Ship with an Ignition arc!

I'm so hyped. Can't wait for this announcement now!

Oh boy that was nasty.

I remember adding it somehow to my episode III thread. Was it the order 66 scene?

That worlds non-announcement was a definite low point for Armada.

I’ve been to every GenCon since Armada was released except 2017. Each time I’ve been they’ve released, announced, or revealed something new and fun. The devs have usually been happy to get to show off whatever new toys they’ve been working on.

I’m not sure what to expect for Virtual GenCon. Inflight Report for announcements seems like a no-brainer. If more Clone Wars info is given I would expect maybe a streamed game showing off the new models.

I love how people use that picture to congratulate themselves or someone else. It’s great to see that even though the “Great” Gatsby was a super selfish and fake d-bag, in a book about how fake people’s outward appearances can be, we can overcome that perception to promote ourselves.

Hah!

Gencon is like one of my favorite thing’s to do each year I can make it. While I’m bummed to not be there this year, I’m curious to see what FFG has planned. The access to FFG employees is great. I’d been hoping for an interview on the podcast, but maybe we can still do that as part of Virtual GenCon.

What do you think they’ll do @MandalorianMoose ?

@shmitty I can check in with a few of my contacts. I would be very surprised if they didn't do an in-flight report over digital GenCon.

Also I may actually play GenCon this year since if we have an Armada Vassal event.

Here I would place the Sloane's **** Yes! Pic that granted me my warning point in this forum. xD

It's being a while. Maybe I could risk myself just a bit.

TBH I’m expecting a reveal of the ships and models, followed by a game with said models by the devs with no fewer than 4 rules/card mistakes

That last bit is probably the most important part for them to stay on brand.

This would be awesome

I just want that classic FFG commentary.

"Now why do you think he didn't take gunnery teams on that pickle?"

“Add a black from Romodi”

”Ummmmmmm what?”- everyone watching the stream
