The First Ship - Commander's Guide to the CR90

By BiggsIRL, in Star Wars: Armada

I wrote up another article, this one talking about the CR90.

What do you folks thing regarding the Corvette?

Full disclosure - I am usually an Imperial player (in Armada at least).

Read clon's article too! https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/179136-lets-talk-tactics-ep-iii-cr90-strategy-guide/?hl=%2Blets+%2Btalk+%2Btactics

Squadron value has nothing to do with being a carrier -- it's about command and control.

I dont know, I think squadron value really makes a diffrence for your carrier...

it really doesn't matter how much command/control you have when you're only throwing 1 fighter in at a time

although that'd be ignoring just how much control Squadron gives you, seeing as how you throw that many ships immediately upon using the dial whereas going piece-meal lets your opponent react

the CR-90 is a pretty **** dedicated "carrier" (insofar as the term applies to armada)

Not to say that the command is worthless on the CR-90, especially if the squadron is outside command range of an actual carrier and would give you more punch than a CF command

As far as using a squadron command - yeah it's definitely not worthless. But as a dedicated "Carrier" role, that's just not something the corvette should be doing, since other ships do it better... that being said...

I had this terrible idea about using a CR90 and Capt. Antilles to make a makeshift escort carrier (effective squadron 2 between the token and the dial). You'd have it for quite a bit less than a naked Escort Neb-B.

aye, Cap Antilles is there for flexibility (and Crit fishing) and should not be used as a way to get hangars on ships that can't get em :P

Sorry Clon, I think Biggs just pips you with his CR90 guide - only just though.

Excellent work both of you (despite one incorrect use of "it's" Biggsy.

Possessive should be its - another quirk of English!

I would hope so!! MY article is little more then a brain dump I had during my free period at school :)

Still a hell of an article. Imagine what you'd write if you weren't just brain dumping in school.

I think Veteran Captains on cheap corvettes are great. Get a nave token one round, or a reroll, or trigger a squadron at a key moment...

Lots of flexibility for a cheap cost.

Well, who am I to argue with a CR90 made flesh?

I made this account when the CR90 for x-wing hit store shelves. At that point I knew I needed this new game called "X-Wing", and I needed some way to express my enthusiasm for the epic ship...

Yea my writing skills are not really that good, so those articles are pretty much as good as I am going to get.

Thanks for the Kind words!! :D

Well, time to do mine with a bit of fluff fun thrown in. Look for it in the next day or so from AFN
