Topic: Distant Armada at Origins?

I am pretty excited about this product.

I will be at Origins.

If you would like to play, please post here and we will work out a time.  (It is not currently a scheduled event.)

If you would like to have this game demoed, feel free to ask.  If you'd like to play a few serious, competitive games, that's great, too.

Let's do this!

Re: Distant Armada at Origins?

I won't be there (wrong continent), but I'm too very interested about them. I love Hydrans!
And we could at least see some fighters. And I wonder how hellbores and ESG will be treated.
But are you sure this book will be available soon?

Re: Distant Armada at Origins?

According to ADB's Facebook... they "should" have a few copies at Origins in a  few weeks.  The main print run is scheduled for July, though.

Oh yeah, I love the Hydrans and Lyrans.  My favorite SFU ships, to be sure.

Re: Distant Armada at Origins?

I saw that too!  Really excited to get that book and I'll more than likely pick it up.  Man, do I really need to get Starmada to the table more.

Can't wait until Origins!

Re: Distant Armada at Origins?

I can leak a detail or two... Hellbores hit the weakest shield facet (and are highly accurate), pretty much just like SFB/FC. ESGs are a defensive system that reduce the effects of drones, fighters and Hellbores (just like SFB/FC). From what I have seen of Stingers, I think they'll be pretty deadly... but they are deadly in SFB/FC.

I hope they don't disappoint...

Re: Distant Armada at Origins?

Copies of DA destined for sale at Origins have been printed!

Re: Distant Armada at Origins?

The rundown on the ADB forum lists a whole bunch of Fusion-armed Hydran ships showing up in DA.  Does this mean that we'll finally get fighter rules?  (Impatient Kzinti player is impatient... and no comments about female Kzinti, please. smile )

Re: Distant Armada at Origins?

Stingers were listed on the Ship Cards I saw.

Didn't see stats for them, but a Hydran ship should have the same number of Stingers as it carries in FC.

Re: Distant Armada at Origins?

w00t!  Hopefully, this means that Kzinti/Klingon/Fred/Romulan ones won't be too far behind.  Or is that too much to hope?

Re: Distant Armada at Origins?

I thought one of the major ideas in FC was that only the Hydrans had fighters to keep it simpler/faster than SFB.
