MC30s & IMP Raiders: How many will you buy?

By R22, in Star Wars: Armada

I'm going for two of each type. Usually one is good to try out and start with and then the second is there for when you start trying new fleet builds. Also a second is always good invade your friend doesn't have one and you can loan one out or something like that.

2 MC30s and 4 raiders. I am looking forward to a fleet of raiders with an ISD as its centerpiece.

The raider worries me. It's AS dice are blue and black. . . That means you will either keep it near the cap ships or have it run interference. While at the slow speeds that most rebel ships to at, this means that the raider will either be out of range or it will need to allow down

One of each for starters.

Probably 2 each to start, with at least one more Raider.

I really want 2 of each but I might go for more once we get that preview article. I need those point costs and other info!

I'll have 3 CR90 corvettes by the time the Raiders and MC30 are available. I plan to order 2 MC30 and 3 Raiders so that the Rebels will have 5 corvettes to the Empire's will have 3. I will then see how it plays to determine if I will need more of either one. I'd bet I end up getting a third MC30 so the rebels have a 2 to 1 corvette advantage which seems about right.

I plan on buying 2+ Imperial Raiders. Their agility should allow for more creativity when building Imperial lists. Perhaps choosing intel sweep as an imperial objective may even become a compelling choice.

I will be getting one raider 2 Star Destroyers cuz you know star destroyers

Will probably buy two MC30s as I expect them to replace Neb-Bs entirely. I don't know what FFG was thinking with the lack of upgrade slots on the Neb.

Getting

1 Home One

1 ISD

2 MC30

2 Raiders

to start :)

3 or 4 MC30s by the time I am done

2 or 3 Raiders when I build an Imp fleet maybe more depending on how many Imp designs to my liking come out between now and my building an Imp fleet.

You could just use an Assault Frigate Mk2 B for Squadrons.

lack of what now slots?

the MCA30 seems to have more, but it's not necessarily something that you load up the ass like the far more durable victory

the Neb is running around with an Officer, Support Team, Turbo-Lasers and some wicked Wave 1 titles
