First off, I've got to say that I love the gozanti, having played it this past weekend, deploying weak ships at JUST the right time is amazing. Dropping backstabber on an enemy just outside of their firing arc, or dropping mauler mithel at range 1..... priceless!

Anyhow, My thoughts today went back to squad building at I took another look at Chiraneau. Using him counts as a move. So in theory, you could do your maneuver, deploy 2 ships, then do your action, and deploy two MORE ships! Would this work? I mean it seems like it.

Engine Booster, Move, Chiraneau.... you could have a HUGE variety in where you place stuff!

Chira's card specifically states that you execute a maneuver.

CRUSH

Oicunn on a decimator, and Chiraneau on a Gozanti and you can just ram away your problems!

What do you think of this?
A bit pricey but really cool I think.

Mara is giving out stress which the slicer will use.
No one wants to get within range one because of Mara Jade,
Supressor let's you remove a focus or evade token which help you and your fighters.
Anyone close enough can get target locked and loose their token.
While Supressor is your default action Chiraneu wants to ram anyone foolish enough to get in front of you.
Even has a turret to cover it's rear flank.

All you need is the right fighters.

What are your thoughts? Too much invested? Too little?

I can confirm that Suppressor is fantastic - especially with the turret. I used it with optimized generators, and frankly never dropped below full energy - that'd pair brilliantly with an energy-hog ability like the ionization reactor.

Or better yet instead of TIE Fighters drop some TIE Interceptors with EPTs and put Opportunist on them. Ensure you have Tarkin on your Gozanti and you can basically drop a bunch of ships that are gonna throw a 5-dice attack this turn. BLAM! 20 red dice in your face!

just ram away your problems!

I think that's the lesson we all wanted to take away from this.

I've found that it's hard to get ships at R1 of an Epic most of the time. No one wants to get run over.

Personally, I think it would be better to put Tactician on board instead of Mara Jade. With the turret, you will have more chances to do the R2 shot. Of course, you get the stress after a shot and do the slicing as an action. So, it does get hard to find someone with the stress.

I think Mara Jade on something else, like a Tie Shuttle, Decimator, or Lambda might be better use and have the Gozanti snipe those ships at longer range with the Slicers.
