Im curious, how do my fellow forum users run their rebel transports? What upgrades do you take, what actions do you use and what ships do you run with it and why?

Im struggling to get to grips with it myself, ive run it in a few games and cant quite get it to be effective. Mostly ive run it with ships using flechette torpedos and tried to use the jam action and slicer tools to cause damage or to spend energy to remove stress etc from friendly ships but, regardless, I cant make it come close to justifying the points.

The most effect ive had is using it to ram badly positioned ships, having managed to takeout two TIEs and Vader in one move in a recent game, of course thats balanced by my last game in when i managed to plough it straight through my Falcon because I misjudged a turn by a fraction of an inch but thats another story.

anyway, im curious as to how others use it, since im the only local player with one so I dont have anyone to compare notes with.

The Rebel Transport is a pretty effective support vessel, just try to keep it cheap and figure out xactly what you want it to do.

Dutyfree & Frequency Jammer is usually enough, maybe Comms Booster or Slicer Tools at a push.

Don't try to kill stuff with it. Let it be what it is, a support ship. Either set it up to jam with duty free title or use comm boosters and toryn farr. Forget slicer tools. Let it be the setup man for you fighters. Double stress those interceptors and let the fun begin. If you have more than 50 points on that thing, you are probably doing it wrong. I would not take any epic ship unless I was fielding at least 200 points. Even at 300, the transport beats the cr90 in bang for the buck. My 2 cents.
