Hate to break it to you bud but there's a few overloaded ships in this list. Keyan and Etahn, I'm looking at you. Corvette looks good, double check the y-wings math/load and drop their Astros maybe. Keep Etahn by all means but try using sensor jammer and other defensive gear. Keyan isn't a bad choice but I would advise shirking some points off him to squeeze in more ordnance or more z-95 love. And definitely find a way to bring an assault missile

your list looks good but i think it need more ships and as ForceSenstive said you need Assault Missiles

this is how i would change it

CR90 Corvette (Fore) (50)
Han Solo (2)
Quad Laser Cannons (6)
Quad Laser Cannons (6)

CR90 Corvette (Aft) (40)
Weapons Engineer (3)
Quad Laser Cannons (6)
Engineering Team (4)
Tibanna Gas Supplies (4)

Roark Garnet (19)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Keyan Farlander (29)
Push the Limit (3)

Etahn A'baht (32)
Predator (3)

Tarn Mison (23)
R7 Astromech (2)

Lieutenant Blount (17)
Assault Missiles (5)

Airen Cracken (19)

Gray Squadron Pilot (20)
R2-D6 (1)
Draw Their Fire (1)

Total: 300

hope it helps

your first problem is formatting. use a builder. its confusing and irritating to read.

second: have some sort of organization for the order of ships. why is keyan on top separated from the rest of the small ships? a formation consideration? write it out.

I'm not big on the Grey ICTs. Not enough firepower and ICT will cancel dice results, meaning anti-synergy with Etahn.

Other than that, looks fine.

I actually used http://xwing-builder.co.uk/ and copy pastad. so yeah that's the formatting. I might switch to yet another. You're right about the assault missiles, i should have mixed some in for anti swarm.

My big critique of your list is that it is Rebel Scum :P

I would want more fighters in there though.

I like to see people thought on 300 and 400 point Imperial builds. Does anyone have builds they'd like to share?

Hothie had a good run with the Corvette a while back. Here's what he did.

I would take that list as a starting point, and adjust carefully from there. Weapons engineer is very good on the corvette, definitely include him. I would also drop the repair droid (never found a chance to trigger him myself; too busy doing other actions to take energy to regenerate one or two damage).

Consider including Dutch, so that you can get a free target lock with the corvette (or other ships). Etahn is generally good in epic but he may be a little wasted here because of so many Ion weapons. I would also think about swapping some of the ion carriers out for cheap generic damage-dealers like B-wings. Movement control is good for small dogfights; in epic battles it's a lot harder to use the restricted movement from ion tokens to your advantage because there are ships everywhere. I think you're mainly interested in ionizing ships and running them over with the corvette; consider instead including horton salm with an Ion torpedo. It's one shot but Salm is pretty good at landing it, and it could Ion a whole swath of ships for you to run over in that first pass.

Me and the gang have a pretty standard go to imp list. For 300 I have an 8 tie swarm, a quad of saber squad, and a pair of royal guard skirmishers. For 400 we add target lock magnet shuttle and defender anti capital role or another quad of ties. For a full list should I start a new thread or post here? I'm guessing new thread. I think we've actually resolved this one to some consensus.

In my last epic game as the empire I used this and it seemed to work well:

Bounty Hunter + Gunner + Stealth Device

That could hurt. I need more assault missiles

@Elkerlyc Try this as your Transport

Dutyfree, Frequency Jammer, Ionization Reactor.

Treat it as a flying bomb. Remember front towards enemy and guarding one flank. let her rip. :)
