I actually love the vulnerability of this ship. The designers did a great job of representing that fragile, vulnerable spine. Also, now I want to try a list built around all 4 designs you showcased.
I started out just buying Armada for the models, but after watching your channel I am considering playing the game now. Thank you for your advice and guidance. I hope we see more for Armada. I would love to see some First Order Resurgence and New Republic Nebula SD's.
I used to use these as sentry turrets. Get close, basically stop and cycle between movement and firing dials. Basically only fit slaved turrets and just used a wall of them. It was a gimmick fleet but the neb was a fantastic reaction/reponse ship. I used to joke that I was gonna glue 2 of them together and call it a star destroyer.
Never underestimate the power of red dice attacks. At long range a nebulon can be as deadly as an ISD. Since it came out I’ve been stapling auxiliary shields on these guys.
These ship videos are awesome. Thanks so much for making these! Quick off topic question.... Do you have a recommendation for Laser Line for checking firing arcs? Have a great weekend 👍
I don’t run Rena let alone a lot of Nebs but I like this breakdown. I love your idea of ana Akbar fleet with these. I need to do some rethinking. Thanks for the awesome content.
I don't think Heavy Fire Zone gives you increased range it says," While attacking a squadron,before you gather dice,if the defender is not engaged with a friendly squadron,you may replace all of the blue dice in your anti-squadron armament with red dice."In order for you to use these red dice at long range,you would have to change the color of the dice before you judge range.The cards effect takes place after measuring range during the attack step,also this card is way too cheep to give such an advantage. Please everyone make Crabbok aware of this,he needs to know so he doesn't keep teaching it incorrectly to others!
I don’t know if Crabbok will explain, but basically an FAQ for this card clarified it does modify the range of your flak attack. It’s definitely not worded the best, but I believe that’s the official intention of the card: to flak squadrons at long range.
@@MrMightymaxwell Thank you for the clarification I will look into that,I agree with you they shouldn't write it like that if that was the intention.You get used to being very legalistic with the rules then they are just like Google enough."😞
i mean, doesnt Redemption say distance 1 -5 .... the ship itself isnt at distance one of itself... its basicly distance 0. surely it doesnt get it itself, that makes 0 sense.
In Armada Distance 0 doesn't exist. So distance 1 includes yourself and everything within that circle. Look at Toryn Far for example - she also has a range bubble but specifies OTHER friendly ships, such that she can't work for her own ship.
Yavaris is a perfect example of my biggest gripe about this company/game. If a card is considered overpowered why not add a card to counter it rather than changing the card? Changing a card that many people went out of their way to buy is quite frankly disrespectful. Essentially they took the money but didn't give you what you bought. That's a pretty low blow.
Because you'd be creating a rock-paper-scissors type of a situation, except with hundreds of objects. Yavaris already had more than one "card counter" - most notably Slicer Tools. The other reason is that there were quite a few "auto include" cards. They wanted to DECREASE the amount of such cards. Implementing card-counters to what is commonly considered OP would INCREASE the number of "auto include" cards.
@@isthisit781 any nerf is, doesn't matter if direct or by another card. Are you seriously going to argue monetary value loss over a medium-sized nerf? Did you miss the part where flotillas were nerfed by making them limited to two per fleet BECAUSE people used to run six?
@@PetersaberHD I'll always argue ethics, but a card to counter a strategy isn't the same as changing the way a card actually works. A nerf is more like removing a die from a firing arc, it directly weakens the card. A counter strategy doesn't take anything away but rather makes the game more complex. To answer your second question, no I didn't miss the flotilla nerf, I wasn't thrilled with it either. I spent hundreds on this game, as do most players, and had plans of buying yavaris. Thankfully I didn't. I've stopped buying from them due to the lost value. I will still play casually but won't purchase any more.
@@isthisit781 in that case, you just shouldn't play anything competetive. There will always be balance changes, and power creep is the wrong answer, and so are hard counters.

I love that you’re breathing new life into these breakdowns. Keep on keeping on!

I love Nebulons, find it fun when someone thinks there easy to take down and then get a nasty surprise from a 2 crit damage Neb
I think this ship's survivability would increase if it had a wider front arc.
Or longer range.

I'd love to see a reprint or update where the support version has a fleet support slot.
Loving these breakdowns!
Really love those up to date ship breakdown!!
Just buy my second Nebulon! 😛
You have instilled in me a love of the Neb.
Love these breakdowns. Just got Rebellion in the Rim so these videos give me lots of ideas for building fleets.
I always have a Nebulon in my Rebel builds. Very fun ship to play.
I love running the nebulon. I have a fleet (600 points) where I run three of them and an assault frigate
Love this ship, I always put it in my rebel lists
Thank you for the ship analysis. I like the Escort variant as my anti-squadron ship, i keep it sandwiched between 2 ships to protect it.
Nebulon so cool design
These ship videos are awesome. Thanks so much for making these! Quick off topic question.... Do you have a recommendation for Laser Line for checking firing arcs?
Have a great weekend 👍
I wonder when will start to see more big ships like the nebulon as just minor settings not big focal points like Gidion's Cruzer.

More of these!
In case somebody reads this and doesn't know.
Yes fenn rau works GREAT with yavaris. Try it out :p
Nothing wrong with more nebulons, love the ship!
Good ideas to try. The truth is that I never used that ship much.
How many of these should I use in a build also love the armada vids and breakdowns keep up the amazing work 👍
He said from a certain point of view. What a Star Wars fan didn’t even know he did it.
Just got the card pack. Should be able to mod this ship up
If you're only running one Nebulon, I will always suggest that it should be the Yavaris.
Do you remember the iteration of armada on a map with hex bases and depending on size of ship depended on how far it could move
Spinal armament, concentrate fire, comm Sato I think could be dangerous. 4 red die with the option to change to two blacks
Dang.....more I watch, the more i want to play this game. I am thinking 7th fleet with Thrawn.
Epic Ship!
I would love a light saber 🤔
I would like to see you opinion how the space potato is downing now days.

It does.
@@Crabbok Please explain.🤔
The attack is only cancelled if you have no dice after the gather dice step. Same general principle as an ignition attack.
