First Imperial Fleet, suggestions welcome!

By ianediger, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Objectives: Most Wanted, Fire Lanes, Superior Positions.

Commander: Darth Vader

Fleet 399/400

ISD I- Darth Vader, Relentless title, Boosted comms, and Gunnery team.

VSD I- Captain Need, Tractor Beams, ACM's.

Raider I- Impetuous title, Admiral Montferrat, Point-Defense reroute, and Ruthless strategists.

Howlrunner, 3 tie fighter squads, Boba Fett, and Bossk.

Vsd is slow and hard to get something in rsnge of those black dice. I'd move the boosted comms over to it and use that as your carrier (spam squadron commands). The tractor beam you could move to the ISD so in the event there is a mon cal you can target it. Tractors do seem better in pairs though.

Your ISD is a huge target and worth alot of points. It also isn't a version II with ECM, if your opponent concentrates fire you'll lose it. I suggest moving vader to the VSD, making it a harder choice on which ship to concentrate on.

Boosted comms on the ISD was intended to keep howlrunner and her ties together, I found they're pretty good at stopping rogue squads. Chalk my having only one t-beam to lack of ships bought, and I never thought about putting Vader on the VSD, thanks!

I ran a very similar list last week, with almost the same exact squadrons/ship combination/admiral. I would focus on dropping the excess upgrades on the raider, it is too fragile to put that many points into it. The points save could go to upgrading your ISD and VSD.

Fett and Bossk is a fun combo.
