Holy gently caress, when did Plano boxes start looking like Transformers playsets? Some part of my brain just started twitching with an urge to collect the boxes themselves...

Is there really a need to sleeve cards in this game? It's not like you shuffle/handle them constantly.

But I'm a savage... I don't even sleeve my Netrunner cards...

Secret reveal for Scum faction will be that they are led by Porkins.

This actually happened last night. I am a nerd. (that TIE didn't get to celebrate his escape for very long)

Why do Advanced and Inteeceptors just get straight up fixes but X-Wings have to get hilarious drawbacks to use boost or barrel roll
What was the interceptor fix?

The X-Wing upgrade is going to be whatever the Episode 7 updated X-Wing pack will be. Also blingier TIEs.

The K-Wing looks like a large ship on a small ship base.

If Fantasy Flight has any sense at all this will be released sooner rather than later.


I didn't realize the thing on the left was a gun at first. I was imagining two TIE cockpits, but someone put one on backwards, and all it can do is spin in place superfast.

Armada isn't really a roleplaying game. Unless you are roleplaying a grand moff eradicating rebel scum.
Tarkin does come in the core set, doesn't he?

Autothrusters are useful, but I'm not so sure about Stealth Device. The extra green die is nice and all, but it pops off too easily with a little bad luck. I'm terrible about luck.
I find autothrusters + targeting computers to be pretty drat nice on interceptors, if your opponent is using tanky ships.

At a cost of 6, that seems a little expensive. But I guess any turret upgrade that can shoot to range 3, especially if it doesn't need a focus or target lock will have its uses.
It would certainly be good at stripping off stealth devices.

How good in real games is Oicunn + Decimator Title + Engine Upgrade? It sounds solid in theory, but so do a lot of things...

What is the engine upgrade for? Are you trying to boost away from the guy you overlapped so you can shoot them? That seems like it won't work very often. You know that you can't boost into an overlap, right?
You can boost through a guy though, as long as you don't overlap at the end. It seems like small-base ships could be boosted past most of the time, using the bank options.
