So, with S&V fighters, I am guessing it's a hint there will be S&V capital ships correct? What could they be?

I assumed they would be "mercenaries" usable for either fleet. You can't have a fleet without caps, so that would be crappy if they aren't usable out of the box...

I can't really think of any big enough non aligned "scum" ships. The poor hapans aren't scum you dicks!!!!

Maybe the Errant Venture?

So, just guessing here, but I expect to see an escort carrier in Armada eventually, with it havinga special rul that increases the fighter squadron limit to 50% instead of 33%. Thoughts?

The Gate posted:

Most imperial ships carried a number of squadrons. A carrier ship could have dropped them off the jumped a short distance away until the fight was over as well. Retreat options are generally abusable and I'm honestly glad to not need to add that to the mix.

Also, all Rebel ships have hyperdrives, and most of the Imperial ones do too. Maybe if there's a deci on the table assume it was modified to have exterior tie racks like a carrack?

Yeah I've played rebellion a bunch. It got a *few* new designs that work out okay, but many do also suffer from the graphics of the time (As do anything out of the various X-Wing and TIE fighter games).

I'd like it if someone professional would do some takes on bigger Corellian ships while still sticking to that sorta aesthetic they got going. Big rear end Engines, stumpy mid "wings", some sort of hammerhead and all those cool little details. Anything in the 200-700 meters class size could look interesting, more bulk but keeping that focus on speed and firepower (Battlecruiser/The Hoods of the Rebellion) vis-a-vis Mon Calamari bubbly shielded luxury liners.

I still play Rebellion. The unique designs for the game IIRC were the assualt transport and galleon for the imps, The bulwark (SSD equivalent), cc770(Interdictor), CC9600, Dauntless and aforementioned liberator for the rebels.

The Imp ships do fit the design ascetic pretty well already. However, only the Dauntless really looks rebel, and it looks like an upgunned moncal to me. (The cc7700 looks like a blocky piece of poo poo without even having noticable gravity well projectors. Would be a good imperial transport)

It opens with the ewok village being massacred and the cute little girl protagonist watching her entire family gunned down in front of her....

It also features Wilford Brimley!

EDIT: This isn't the EU thing that makes you cringe thread.....


So, Armada, if I wanna start and not be super poor, after the starter set what should I get for the ole rebs?

GOG are apparently working on it for Armada and Armada 2. I assume the delay there is technical and not related to rights or anything (since there are several other Trek games from the Activision era that they're selling)

I'd buy in hard on a proper (and good) official Star Trek: Armada a la the FFG Star Wars stuff but CBS's incompetence doesn't end with making bad shows, it apparently also extends to managing the IP's licensing deals.

God that was such a fun game.


Also on the whole non-Star Wars models for Armada, Mel's miniatures has BSG at least for armada

I also feel the Victory to Republic might have been because the Venator sold out so fast, and they aren't printing anymore, so new Republic players needed an alternative, and they decided to snowball from there. Like the emp doesn't really need another SD in their niche, but the republics do.


Speaking of, anyone know where a Venator is in stock? I want one and don't have one.
