What would you consider to be the deadliest Imperial ship?

By devotedknight, in X-Wing

isn't a space station a different designation than "ship" :wacko: ?

this, I'd contest with jonus

I wish there was a Jonus for the M3-A. That would just be Syck.

I myself am jonsing for some offensive re-rolls in scum, but they Serissly dropped the ball there

Speaking serissly for a mo here, those defensive re-rolls will make Mux rather hard Torkil, making him a threat Laetin the game.

What about this.

Omicron Group Pilot — Lambda-Class Shuttle 21

Accuracy Corrector 3

Darth Vader 3

Gunner 5

Ship Total: 32

Guaranteed to die in at most 2.5 turns.

Flown well, Phantom all the way.

For sheer tanking it has to be Decimator though

In the right hands, a Phantom or a Defender. Brutal ships, from the named to the generics, when kitted out properly.

Lore-wise it's supposed to be the TIE Defender. It was literally the best starfighter of its time, in every way. I think I read somewhere that it cost almost the same as a full squadron of regular TIE Fighters though, and it mass-production was halted by Rebel strikes and the collapse of the Empire.

Buzzsaw doom shuttle

Absolutely!!! 100% dead on.

Every time I try flying that death trap... I am dead and the game lost.

But that is what I get for bringing a shuttle to a dog fight. It's like showing up to a rapier duel with a shovel.

Yep, the cost part is definitely the best one implemented to the model... Lore-wise.

A waste of points. Adding gunner onto a doom shuttle is 5 wasted points.

I'm disappointed that this wasn't the first reply. You have failed me, fellow Star Wars fans!

Page one will do. After all it is the Ultimate power in the Universe

truly, the pun is mightier than the star

Edited by ficklegreendice

I disagree with the deathstar being most deadly, it took a single crit to blow it the hell up. 300 attack dice, 1 hull, no shields, talk about glass cannon.

edit: They did learn their lesson in Jedi but still it was an off station shield from Endor so not standard in the DS.

Buzzsaw doom shuttle

What is a Buzzsaw Doom Shuttle?

Buzzsaw= Anything with Fire Control System and Gunner

Doom Shuttle+ Omicron Group Pilot with Vader

Generally not combined because Vader chews through his own ship's hull very quickly, but if you wanted to put a lot of hurt on a single ship, it's a contender for that title.

I figured if we're going all in we could take heavy laser cannon too

Lets be honest if we're talking EU. The deadliest weapon in the empires arsenal is anything that can avoid Wedge Antilles

Actually the DS has 2 hull.

They got a crit. and direct hit.

With no regards to points nor defense...

RAC+Expose+Experimental Interface+Vader+Gunner+Merc Copilot+Dauntless (why not)+Extra Munitions (soon)+Proton Bomb.

72 pts of total pwnage. 4/5 red dice with TL/psudo marks with gunner, Vader crit, and crit bombs the following turn. Stuff is going to die, even with autothrusters!

I would have to say, get a couple of TIE Interceptors and mod them out with the right mods or hell just standard TIE Interceptors will wreck face.... And I don't know what it is about my interceptors but mine always do extremely well in games.

Phantom is still king. Followed by Soontir (Interceptor) and I do really expect Vader (Tie Advanced) after Raider release to be right up there.

I really don't see Decimator as being top dog. Yes it has a lot of hull but man its easy to kill and the damage it dishes out is not that amazing. Phantom with 4-5 red dice and 5 green dice is way way way better the majority of the time.

Howlrunner.

Having played vader with X1 ATC I can say he is absolutely beastly, with higher durability and DPS than soontir.

Doomshuttles and Phantoms are up there though, and i'd say deadlier.

VESSERY + HLC + Outmaneuver

... and at least one friendly ship around which is able to TL ...
