FASA Games Press Release - FASA Games to publish next version of Noble Armada

From the FASA Games Website

Fading Suns and Noble Armada together again! We at FASA Games are pleased to announced that we will be working together with HDI on the next version of Noble Armada.

Our vision for the new version of the game is to make a game that is both accessible to new players and familiar to existing players of the game. Fading Suns and Noble Armada have a rich tradition and history and that is something that we would like to maintain as we develop the new version of Noble Armada.

Noble Armada is a game that will stand on its own as a miniatures game but we will also be creating more of a connection with the Fading Suns roleplaying game as well. Crossover dramas and adventures can lead the players into a Noble Armada skirmish, or a Noble Armada campaign can lead to new dramas.

As the development process evolves, blog posts will show you our work. Your questions will be answered in the gaming forums and on social media. Your feedback is always welcome. Todd Bogenrief, the Fading Suns and Noble Armada Line Developer at FASA Games Inc., can be reached at NobleArmada@fasagames.com. The Fading Suns and Noble Armada forums at http://www.fasagames.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=7 await your arrival.

Mongoose Publishing Press Release - Noble Armada End of Line Sale

From the Mongoose Publishing Website

This is a sad day for us but, hopefully, some of you will get a boon out of it.

After discussions with Holistic Design (the ultimate owners of Noble Aramada and Fading Suns), the decision has been made to end the current A Call to Arms: Noble Armada game and miniatures line.

We feel we had a really good swing at this - Nine fleets in all, we explored some of empires/ships that had not really been looked at in great detail before, and we shifted the fleets away from the 'everyone gets a Galliot' feel to one where they started to distinguish themselves and gain their own character.

However, the sales have never really been high or even optimum on the line as a whole. We pulled a few of you ex-Babylon 5 players across, and some original Noble Armada players still out there joined us as well but, regretably, the game never really gained critical mass. And yes, there was some overshadowing by Star Fleet.
