I had to make the thread so I'm shilling for Armada. What're you most looking forward to about Chimaera/Profundity?

>legends says ISDs always accompanied by huge fleets of lesser craft and support ships >movies and rebels always show ISDs working alone or in small ISD packs, or with only a few support ships for specialized purposes
the former seems to be the one /swg/ prefer, but i think the latter makes their fleet look distinct from the motely crew of the rebel fleet
Jonathan Cruz
In Chimaera I'm most excited about the new squadrons. Not sure I will buy this expansion.
The Profundity is such a cool ship, I'm mostly looking forward to having the model in my collection.
Aaron Miller
Dunno, I prefer the first because variety and I love lotes of the models they used in legends. Arquitens and Gozanti are cool and all, but the Lancer, Carrack, Dreadnaughts, Marauders, Tartans etc make the ISD feel more important, and not a star jober like they are in Rebels (how many have the Ghost crew killed already? 3 or 4?)
Nathaniel Smith
Some things just aren't easy to show.
I mean, I like the CONCEPT of an Imperial Army. But let's be honest here, those were just Stormtroopers in the films.
Daniel Turner
The SD has usually been shown as a single 'squadron' with its on-board TIE's and shuttles as escorts, about the only time I can remember them being with other ships is in Rebels where you'll sometimes see them with a shitbox like the old Aquitens or a specialist vessel like the Interdictor. Actual 'fleets' of SD's aren't all that uncommon either in the movies and cartoons. I've always had an interest into the support mechanisms behind the Imperial navy, their fleet oilers, supply ships and so on. It would be nice to see more of the other line vessels as well, though the SD is something the Imperials can guarantee to get somewhere fast and more than likely handle whatever is on the other end in a call for help. So maybe that's why there's a bit of a bias to them because the characters are usually that much of a threat or have something of vital importance that means nothing less than a battleship turning up
Hunter Cruz
Part of that might be because /swg/ also prefers a larger Rebel fleet and GCW in general than depicted in the films.
Daniel Johnson
i think that even scaled up to the battle of endor, having the empire spam a single big ship command and conquer style while the rebels use hundreds of diverse craft would be more visually distinct in showing off the opposing strategic philosophies of the forces
imperial are uniform, homogenous, and wave the big stick rebels are diverse, colorful, and use guille

Fuck off Traya; you know how it's end. And it's not well.
