Cannot Get Your Seeds Out Vegetable Gardening Special Episode!

So there comes a time when you need to let your plastic spaceships rest at port until the next game and direct your energies elsewhere. Perhaps something... peaceful.

Yes, we can use the same gif in two different articles.

The (Jedi) Knight's (Re)-Watch: Return of the Jedi

One last movie, one last source of inspiration.

Lando is all of us.  Or me, one of the two.

The (Jedi) Knight's (Re)-Watch: The Empire Strikes Back

It's like you can guess the next article as I write it!  We continue with the Empire Strikes Back, the one I never actually saw in theaters.  Is this just a bunch of Yoda quotes?  Are you too afraid to look?  Because I'm not!
Look, it's me.  Not expecting the stupid puns is on you.

The (Jedi) Knight's (Re)-Watch: A New Hope

We continue our travels through the OG.  Well, the new O.G.  I'm watching the Special Edition of A New Hope from 1997.  Why the Special Editions? We'll get there in the last of these, but I have my reasons.
I really love space giraffes, that's why

Hit the jump and let's see how we can take our first step into a larger world!

The (Jedi) Knight's (Re)-Watch: Rogue One

In the spirit of Worlds Prep 2019, I figured that the best way to prepare BESIDES having your very own montage (truly the most important part of preparations) would be to go back to the original sources of inspiration, see what we can learn from them all.
I'd love to disagree with Luke's assessment here, but well.... I run a Star Wars blog, guys

Because I'm stealing title ideas from my girlfriend, who still as of this writing has never seen one of these movies, join me below and see what you can learn from the Knight's Rewatch.  Today: Rogue One.  Read on below, and see how you can make ten men feel like a hundred!

2/2 Atlanta Regional recap: GiledPallaeon

This is our second Atlanta Regional recap, this time from GiledPallaeon, who took 5th place. John and I have collaborated with GP for some time about various Armada topics, especially fleet builds and the like, and I'm pleased to host him on the blog, sharing his experience at the Atlanta Regionals. Get comfy, because it's a long read! /Eric

Tips and tricks: forking

Mentioned briefly in the swatting swarms article, let's talk a bit more about forking.

NO!

YES!

2/2 Atlanta Regional Recap: Jack Otto

Quick Eric/editor note here: I extended the offer to some of my closer Armada acquaintances to share their Regionals experiences here on the blog. This is the first of them, from Jack Otto, one of our Fair Gamers who got into Armada as his first minis game ever about 2 years ago and has been plugging away at it ever since. He took 6th at the Atlanta Regional (out of 38 players) and I'm hecking proud of him. Good job, Jack! Back to Jack:

Eric updates 2/3/2019

Quick updates to the Thrawn article (in light of the success of two ship), the VSD article (added discussion of the titles and some more hyperlinks, including the super-fun VSD-I flak boat build), and removed the flotillas section from the basic fleet building article in light of the flotilla nerf making flotilla removal no longer an extremely high priority.

Armada 2.0 Too! AKA John's Thoughts and Feelings

I want to do a thing, too!
Screaming into a void about how I want a thing? This seemed appropriate

2 year anniversary, where Armada is at, and 2.0 thoughts on ace squadrons

So first and foremost, Cannot Get Your Ship Out turns 2 years old today, January 25th! We've grown a fair bit in the last two years to over a million page views (1,150,000 or thereabout as of the writing of this article) and it's been fun. Thanks to John in particular for agreeing to join this silly project with me and thanks to our readers for sticking with us and recommending us. We're going to be covering a bit of ground in this article, so please bear with me!

The original cannot get your ship out!

DEAD LINK

We tried doing an all-new article for John's big revision on the Small Fighter Coverage article and it created a hyperlinks nightmare, so this is a dead URL now. If you were sent here by a hyperlink on the site, please respond to this article telling me how you got here and I'll go fix it to point it to the right article.

The up-to-date (and original) version of this article can be found here. Thanks!

XI7 Turbolasers: yours is the drill that will pierce the hull points

Let's talk a bit more about one of the most ubiquitous turbolaser upgrades in the game going all the way back to wave one: XI7 Turbolasers.

Wanted for many many crimes against poor VSDs since the game hatched from a stone egg.

John Updates 12/28

Minor notes: I updated the CR90 article with some basic bits about the Ion upgrades, and I updated very barely the Squadrons Encyclopedia 1 article with terminology and such in there.  More to come on that all, of course.  But for now, hey look, updates!

I also hit the MC75 (some Caitken and Shollan improvements and shamelessly stealing JJ's Vassal World Cup MC75 build), and I added in C&S to the AF and the MC30 articles

Fighting Fleets: Tackling Two-Ship!

As I'm sure several people are aware, it's Regionals season.  And so many of you are trekking towards your stores, getting ready to play games and win you some shiny new stuff.  Nebs, candy dice, or even a fancy pants trophy medal thing.
I must have it, no matter WHAT Nathan Coda plans on doing to stop me (jokes 7 people in my local meta will get)!
But if there's one thing that all of our readers should be aware of and what it can do, it's the new hotness that is Imperial 2-ship.  Take a look with me as I do a quick dive into this list so you don't immediately lose to it.
