Any word on Noble Armada?

Any word on what's coming up for Noble Armada? Would love to see more Vau...

 

[MongooseMatt]

You will be seeing an entirely new fleet this year...

Anything beyond that? I know there's a lot of worry amongst Noble Armada players that the game will get the axe due to the fact that the IP is not that popular and Star Trek is so much more popular.

I think this is my concern too. Looking around at this forum, there are at best a trickle of posts about NA, compared to SFB. The big fear is, of course, that sales can't match and the line gets cut (I've been doing MY part, bringing over 5 other gamers to the game!). While I like SFB and have been investing in that as well, I'm a huge long-time Fading Suns fan, long before this game, and would hate to see it disappear...

Perhaps things might change for the setting as and when FASA 2.0 get their own planned version of the original Noble Armada game engine up and running.

One of the key advantages which A Call to Arms: Star Fleet has is that it's one of a number of active game systems in the same ganing universe. Players can jump from SFB to FC to Starmada to ACtA:SF (and soon, to Star Fleet Squadron Strike) and back again, and players of each of those games can still make use of the Starline 2500 line even if they aren't active here.

Once NA3 (or whatever term it'll be given) is ready to go, there'll be two player bases helping to drive the tabletop side of the Fading Suns setting forward, and two groups of players who could make use of Mongoose's ACtA:NA mini line.

But even leaving the FASA 2.0 angle to one side, there are still a number of major factions to consider (the League, the Imperial fleet, and the Symbiots), plus the array of minor realms out in the independent Lost Worlds lying at the crossroads of Imperial, Kurgan, and Vuldrok space.

I wonder which of the above is the one which Matt is referring to...

Another fleet

I know there's a lot of worry amongst Noble Armada players that the game will get the axe due to the fact that the IP is not that popular and Star Trek is so much more popular.

There are no plans to do so at this time.

I seem to recall that the next wave of fleets would be the League, the Symbiotes and Imperial Fleet.

Of the three I'd prefer to see the symbiotes as they are the most different to the existing fleets

Ya know, I've been thinking. Regarding the Symbiots, never try to board their ships. According to Lifeweb, their ships ARE Symbiots themselves. Hence the ship could turn you into another Symbiot. And speaking of turning boarders into Symbiots. They should have rules for Symbiot Marines turning opponents into more Symbiots. I personally can't wait to see Symbiots in NA: ACTA.
