Played against a list with this tonight. with two cluster missiles and extra munitions. Good lord. It was brutal. It essentially felt like being attack by a super TLT. I never even considered the combination. Anyone else played against this?

played with it

punches hard, dies hard and can lose steam if dice are ****

seems viable, but high skill floor needed to get ships where you want them for your PS 7 (no v.i available) to shoot them optimally. 5 academies for blocking does the trick, but only if you fly em right.

I used redline with cluster missles but opted for sensor jammer because I was using Carnor. A few time I would have liked another target lock, but the jammer helped mitigate a lot of damage

the main allure of FCS is that you can set up for fully modded attacks or, most importantly, keep pouring on ordnance against a single target even after taking a red maneuver

Not a bad idea, and it is generally a good alternative to FCS for when you need to take the TL action, and therefore don't have a focus for your single defense die.

I'm off to try it out!

I played it twice a few days ago, with FCS, Plasma torps , Cluster Missiles and EM. Even with the multiple TL got very bad dice, but looked very promising. Also did realize that it lasts only a bit more than a B-Wing, so it should avoid being focus fired. The good thing is that the boost action is superb for that. Didnt manage to shot two consecutive turns at the same target.

Thrusters + Sensor Jammer with a Carnor / Tactician ship in tow should make Redline pretty survivable.

I cannot wait to strip shields with Plasma Torpedoes and blast fools with Cluster Missiles.

Ran redline with Jammer and was very pleased with the extra survivabilty, was near enough preventing one damage every attack or forcing my opponent to focus when perhaps he would have preffered to TL.

The FCS is nice, but assumes he lives until the next turn and can still get arc on the ship that now knows its gunning for it
