2024 State of Armada Survey Results
Greetings Admirals, Moffs, Jedi, and Tactical Droids! Welcome to the results of the second annual State of Armada Survey.
This year, a total of 710 players from 31 different countries answered the call to complete the survey. Truly, thank you to each and every one of you for taking the time to share your opinions, preferences, and experiences.
Below, you'll find the responses to each survey question, along with a comparison to last year's results. The entire dataset is again available to download as a CSV file.
Since the first survey in 2023, the Armada community enjoyed another year of continued Organized Play support in the form of Store Championships and World Open Qualifiers. We watched the rise and fall of Commander Anakin and we adapted to the last round of errata and points changes. Sadly, however, all good things come to an end.
During the survey period, we received the unfortunate news of Armada's discontinuation. Despite this, the community's passion remains strong and vibrant. The path ahead may be unclear, but the game is far from dead. So keep rolling those dice and setting your dials. See you in 2025 for next year's survey, but for now, on to the results!
