Getting into epic

Raider is stronger on paper.

Cr90 I think is just a better ship. Turn once to go parallel to the edge and cruise, firing into the middle. But honestly it comes down to what u'd rather get for standard, cr90=rebel crew, transport=xwing pilots/droid, or raider=tie advanced pilots/upgrades.

In my experience the Raider is almost flat-out better than the CR-90; CR-90 probably has better titles, but the Raider has double tap and far better arcs. Double tap vs. the CR-90 is just so lethal.

I have flew my friends Cr90 and ahad a blast with it.

Don't underestimate the turret and rebel crew that can enhance the CR90. But either ship is fun. I suggest getting the one for the faction you prefer to play, as you will invariably have other support ships in your squad.

First of all, what faction do you have at least 200 points of ships in (without upgrades)? That is the faction you will want to get into Epic first.

If you have over 300 points in everything then which faction do you play the most, AKA the last tournament you were in which faction was that?

Tie advanced! That would sell me on the Raider. Gots to have both eventually.

For Epic? The Raider if Imperial or the CR-90 if Rebel. But honestly? Plan to get both. Just watch for sales.

You have just taken your first step into a larger world.....

Im not a turny player however i have about 300 points of both reb and imp. Basicly i guess it boils down to palp and tie vrs rhe golden droid of evade and his sidekick

What is the raider double tap?

What is the raider double tap?

You spend 2 energy to make another attack with the Raider primary weapon. The CR-90 is spend 1 energy to roll an additional dice making a 5 dice attack. The Imperial Raider is range 2-4 while the CR-90 is range 3-5.

Played more than a few Epic Battles now and since the Raider has surfaced it hasn't lost, much to the chagrin of my Rebel and in one case Scum (with the GR-75, some of the scratch builds from here and some of our own) players. It is a brutal mistress. But the CR-90 was my go-to for some time as well. Like they say, it's not about the tool, just how you use it.

Epic is much better if you write a litle background. I think you need a Rebel AND a Imperial Huge ships.

In my limited experience playing Huges, the GR 75 is by far much more interesting that the CR 90. But if you can afford it, the Huges are awesome when you deploy your armada. First I recomend GR 75, 100%

I just got my GR 75 delivered today, mainly for the X-wing :D

I'm mainly a collector, so hated seeing that extra ship gap in my set - Raider will be next for the Tie Advanced I think!

QS =D

I have the transport never used it vot it for the xwing droids so the power of rhe dark side sucked me in and now i have a raider

There is one Epic fleet that needs to be mentioned:

4 IG-88s. They can be a very potent 200 points, and losing one of them isn't the disaster that losing a single epic ship is.
