Been messing around with fleet builds again since I just got my wave 2 in (still have yet to get a game in though
).
I have been looking at alternate builds that do not involve the ISD (blasphemy, I know). I have messed with a swarm raider build that seemed like it could be fun, but it is not something I will be able to actually use (at this time) as it would require me to get 4 more raiders and 5 more shrimps. So I started looking at what would be feasible for me at this time. I came up with the following list and just want to see what people think.
If you ran a list like this, how well did it perform?
Empire Fleet (393 of 400 pts)
Commander: Admiral Motti (24 pts)
Flagship: (92 pts)
- Victory I-Class Star Destroyer(73 pts)
- Gunnery Team (7 pts)
- Phylon Q7 Tractor Beams (6 pts)
- XI7 Turbolasers (6 pts)
Fleet Ship 1: (92 pts)
- Victory I-Class Star Destroyer(73 pts)
- Gunnery Team (7 pts)
- Phylon Q7 Tractor Beams (6 pts)
- XI7 Turbolasers (6 pts)
Fleet Ship 2: (92 pts)
- Victory I-Class Star Destroyer(73 pts)
- Gunnery Team (7 pts)
- Phylon Q7 Tractor Beams (6 pts)
- XI7 Turbolasers (6 pts)
Squadrons (93 of 134 pts):
- 1x Punishing One - Dengar (20 pts)
- 2x Tie Advanced Squadron (24 pts)
- 3x Tie Interceptor Squadron (33 pts)
- 1x Major Rhymer Tie Bomber Squadron (16 pts)
Objectives: Opening Salvo , Contested Outpost , Dangerous Territory
VSDs are slow as bricks, but are strong and resilient. To help offset their slow speed, tractor beams! Why try to speed up when you can slow them down? Gunnery teams are pretty much a given when running VSDs. XI7 is to help counter those APs, but I was also toying around with dropping them for HTTs, as with the recent ruling change on XI7s vs APs i believe APs may not be as common as before.
Squadrons are kind of a mixed bag. Dengar is there to provide counter to all my fighters and for intel. Advanced are to protect everything. Interceptors to provide a little extra speed, just in case I need to tie up something quick. Rhymer, good old Rhymer, he will help my other fighters with dealing damage to ships, in the event that I can clean up the fighter game early or there were no fighters to begin with.
