The missions in the campaign have a peril track with terrible things happening as time goes on, this is thrown out the window in the delve.
Barnes doesn't seem like the type of person to cheese the system like that. I think though it sounds like it could be a problem if you exploit it.

Anyways whilst I won't be in for a product line, i'd pick up an expansion or two.

How long does it take compared to something like TI3?

We picked up a bunch of Armada stuff from CSI when they had their big Halloween sale, and we're just starting to get into it these last few weeks. I really love it. X-Wing is a good game, but I never warmed to it for some reason, and now that there's a million expansions, I feel even less inclined to play it. But Armada, for whatever reason, has got me pretty excited. We haven't even used any of the Wave 2 stuff, and it still provides a pretty rich experience.
I like the Objective system and the whole 1st vs. 2nd player decision that goes into fleet building. The command dial and ship movement mechanics are clever and innovative, and I really like the dynamic between ships and squadrons. And it looks kick-ass on the table.
It does play long, and there's a bit of a learning curve in terms of integrating all the upgrades, but we didn't find it any harder to learn to play than X-Wing.
I hope it takes off. It might be hard--FFG seems to be almost competing against itself in terms of all the different Star Wars releases (RPG, LCG, X-Wing, IA, Armada, Rebellion, etc....) Can't blame them for trying to squeeze every little bit out of that licensing fee, though.
