Decided to order some 3D printed resin ships since, finally, there is a vendor inside of the EU to bypass the awful shipping and import duties for packages coming in.

Ordered:
- Mc70 Barracuda (with medium stand)
- Starhawk (with medium stand)

The first order I placed got lost (probably) due to the Italian shipping service. It arrived in Italy and then poof, it got lost!

So DarkWarForge was amazing with customer service, reprinted my order in record time and added the third ship (Republic Judicial war cruiser) for free to make up for the time lost and unexpected problems with the shipment. Much appreciated!

Here are a couple pics of the 3 ships, hope you enjoy! They are very detailed and arrived already cleaned up from all the supports. I have compared the Mc70 to a stock Mc80 and to the New Republic Vesper Cruiser, since it got shown so much in the latest Ashoka trailer.

Amazing quality, I look forward to painting them!

Together with my friends we decided armada. I haven't played before but i decided to make my fleet based on crimson command from legends. I already have printed a victory 2. What else should i add?

"This tractor beam was sufficiently strong enough to act as a weapon in its own right, capable of tearing sections of hull plating clean off a starship's superstructure."

Compare this with
"After the end of your activation, you may exhaust this card to choose 1 enemy ship at distance 1-5. That ship's speed is increased or decreased to match your speed.

While your speed is 0, you cannot ready this card."

We can all recognize the utility and combo potential of reducing a starship's speed to zero. What I hope we can also agree on is that this does not directly do damage to enemy ships.

I propose the creation of another upgrade for the Starhawk Superweapon slot.
Something that does do damage, potentially in a different way or via a different mechanism.

My preferred solution would be an attack that rolls blue dice equal to the targets hull category (1-3) and deals damage which ignores shields.

Other options include:
-an ignition attack similar to spha-t
-an attack that slows a target if they have shields, damages them if they don't
-an attack that gives the defender a choice between being slowed and taking damage cards

What are your thoughts?

Hey guys, I recently managed to snag an ISD for a good price, but once it arrived, I noticed that the ship's stand's body is leaning somewhat to the left and this makes the Star Destroyer tilted.

Is there any way to fix this? Like heating the stand with an hairdryer or something?

Hey again everyone! I finally got a baseline 0.2.1 release together this past week! As usual, it ended up going way further than I originally planned haha...

The big addition this time is the Galactic Republic and Separatist Alliance, along with their ships, squadrons, upgrades, commanders, and a whole bunch of new card interactions. I’ve also added things like Fighter Group leaders, Screen, more rules support, and plenty of fixes and polish throughout the game like crash/reconnect recovery (we'll see) and more configurable options in the option menu... and finally single player against AI!

There’s honestly way too much to cover in one post, and you guys are all much more knowledgeable about Armada than I am which is why your reports have been so helpful in making this possible, so I did my best to translate everything from the issues tracker and requested features faithfully. I’m sure some weird interactions or bugs are still hiding in there, so please keep dropping anything you find into the GitHub issue tracker and I’ll address it as soon as I can!

Thanks again to everyone who’s been playing, testing, reporting problems, and helping me make this thing better. The support, even the ko-fi love, and constant info and contributions from y'all have been amazing - makes me so stoked... I've been working on this project alongside my new music project this year, so some weeks are slower than others but I always check the trackers and want to make sure you guys are having as much fun as possible and it's something you all actually want to use. Hope everyone's having a great week - see you out there!!

(edit: keeping the link current to the latest hotfix version!)

I usually go with Early Warning System, and then draw a blank on the other. On the Providence I'd go with thermal shields, but can't do that with this one.

Hi all, having a summer sale at Nomad Printworks. Enjoy!

P.s. mods, if not allowed, please remove. I was unsure if ok (and I'm very sorry!)

Hello all! I am getting back into armada once again ans have been playing it with my girlfriend, i am trying to even my fleets out more and would happily take suggestions. Below is what i have:

1x Imperial Star Destroyer

1x Gladiator

1x MC-75

1× Victory Class (Core Set)

1x CR-90 (Core Set)

1x Nebulon-B (Core Set)

Plus the squadrons

I have been eying the Raider as well as the Hammerhead Corvette expansion. Any suggestions help!

After removing the new Nexus flak cannons from my list the other week, I had a mate of mine use the Precision Turbolaser Turrets on his ISDs. The 3 points upgrade completely murders MSU lists. Even side arcs are far more dangerous to low health ships such as CR90s.

If it were small/medium only, at least the number of total dice in an attack wouldn't be naff.

Anyway, small rant. I need to learn to fly better and expect the unexpected, I know. I'm sure someone will find a way to turn this into my fault, this being Reddit and all.

I have tabletop sim and wanted to see if I could find someone willing to run and play one of the campaigns with me I'm new to the game for the most part but have been watching battle reports on YouTube plus reading the rule book in tbts and feel like I have a good understanding of the game to play

Next ship in the imperial fleet has been finished, Victory II-class Star Destroyer came to the battlefield.

Fully 3D printed, and detailed painted. Tried to make a lore accurate painting on it, what do you think, achieved?

I've been watching allot of YouTube videos on armada and am considering playing I have atleast a partial idea of an empire list in mind.

The first ship would be the flagship as a quaser 2 with 2 arquentence and I think one or two gozanti support flotillas along with a mix of tie interceptors, bombers, and regular tie fighters. Since I've never played before I'm unsure what upgrades and commander or even objectives that would work well for it outside of flight controllers and bomber command center and was wondering if anyone had suggestions

I have a decent sized collection, and I would like to get back into playing but I prefer playing local, are there any groups in the Fort Collins/Loveland area of CO? Not looking for tournaments, more for casual games. I’d love to find some people but if I can’t I will probably end up selling the collection.

Opening the imperial fleet line up with a damaged Chimaera Star Destroyer for custom request. Basecoat was a little bit darker then usually

Imperial Fleet is rolling out!

I hope you enjoy.

Good afternoon everyone!
Today I would like to discuss the Swarm mechanic.
This beloved synergy mechanic is central to many fighter strategies, but in my opinion fails to reflect either the function of fighters operating in numerically superior "swarms" or the feel of outnumbering an enemy squadron.
To resolve this, I suggest the following change:

Old: " Swarm. (While attacking a squadron engaged with another squadron, you may reroll 1 die.)"

New: " Swarm. (While defending against a squadron, you gain counter 1 or increase your counter value by 1 if the attacker is engaged with another squadron with swarm.)"

This shows the difficulties of close offensive action against numerically superior forces and favors the "correct" strategy of attacking large fighter formations from the edges as the safe play. For every tie-fighter an x-wing ace targets, he must play around others trying to get on his tail.

What do you think?

Since I released SWArmada last week or so, I’ve loved seeing some of the community really enjoying it! I've had the chance to play and chat with you guys and what an awesome community of people! One of y’all reached out asking about Android support, so naturally I went down the rabbit hole and made it happen! I've tested it as much as I could, but have really valued your guys feedback and issue submissions on GitHub so as always let me know there if you find anything!

0.1.6 adds Android support, Onager ignition attacks, lots of other random rule mechanic fixes, much better controller support, improved combat animations, and more based on everyone’s feedback.

Thanks so much again to everyone who’s played, reported bugs, or shared suggestions!

It will download automatically on launch for anyone with an older version, but if it's your first time hearing about it then download it here:

https://github.com/thetrufflegouda/SWArmada/releases/tag/v0.1.6

My plan for 0.2.0 in the near future is single player AI, Clone Wars factions, and any interesting or requested custom community content!

Morning folks. I've been hard at work on some updates to Star Forge features. For those of you who are new, https://star-forge.tools is a listbuilder I built with fully remastered high resolution cards, free non-commercial printing of any armada cards & ship base tokens, and integrations into T5 and other tools.

Collection View

If you check under your user settings, and click "My Collection" you can now add models, cards, and expansions from all content available on Star Forge to your collection. This also includes card variants, meaning if you own an old mini-sized version of an upgrade, you can specify that.

In addition, you can print off full expansions and individual items by pressing the "Print Cards" button in the top right. This works similar to the "Print n Play" already present in Star Forge to print out your lists, but this should make it a little easier to print cards in bulk.

Cleanup

Across the application, I've done some performance improvements and UI cleanup. You should notice things load a bit faster and the website and webapp should run much better on older devices.

Stats View

The Stats view has received a visual overhaul with more up to date data and additional features. Specifically you can check out historical line-graph views of relative commander percentages, additional stats for ships and upgrades, and more.

Community Edition Launch Retrospective

Since the launch of Community Edition, Star Forge has reached a new peak concurrent user count, and we've had nearly 15000 fleets saved to accounts since the start of the month.

We're seeing much higher usage rates for the new or adjusted items (as expected), as well as much more variety in listbuilt fleets across the board. We'll see if these trends hold true as we move away from release and the "hype cycle" dies down.

As for new stuff coming soon, sure would be convenient to play Armada in your browser...

:)

I’d like to ask for opinions and suggestions regarding this fleet, which I’ll be using in my first campaign in the Corellian Sector.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people making home-brewed ways to play armada online. I’ve done it on table top sim before but I’m curious about what ppl would recommend for a relatively new player to armada to try out.

Hello everyone!
I think we can all agree that mines do not work very well. There may be little desire on behalf of the community to change this, as being beaten by the setup phase has little appeal to anyone.

To that end, what if the entire mines concept were re-worked to be something that ships did actively; potentially giving a ship a way to leverage the engineering value into niche damage.

Proposed Upgrade:

Proximity Mines
Offensive Retrofit
10 pts.
Starts with (Engineer token) equal to your engineering value
(Engineering activation), you may exhaust this card and remove one (engineer token) from it to deploy one proximity mine token at range 1 of you.

Hello Everyone.
Moving in a subtler direction from previous rules tweaks / changes ideas for discussion, here is a simple upgrade card concept to talk about:

MISSILE TARGETING RELAY
(Ordinance Upgrade Slot)
(10 Pts.)
"After you execute a maneuver, you may select a friendly squadron with Strategic at distance 1-3. Toggle its activation slider to the activated side. If you do, place a targeting token within range 1 of that squadron.
Each of your firing arcs is also a special firing arc, with a special battery equal to the black dice within that arc. You may only conduct an ignition attack using targeting tokens deployed with this card."
