Another "what to do with those extra points" question, this time with MC30 and CR90s

By Iskander4000, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Currently playing around with a MSU list featuring MC30s and CR 90s.

MC30c Frigate: MC30c Scout Frigate (69 + 18)
+ Ordnance Experts (4)
+ XI7 Turbolasers (6)
+ Foresight (8)


MC30c Frigate: MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63 + 9)
+ Ordnance Experts (4)
+ Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)


CR90 Corvette: CR90 Corvette A (44 + 39)
+ Mon Mothma (30)
+ Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7)
+ Jaina's Light (2)


CR90 Corvette: CR90 Corvette B (39 + 5)
+ SW-7 Ion Batteries (5)

?????? (51)

A-wing Squadron x2 (22)

YT-2400 x2 (32)

The squadrons are subject to change (I wrote another post today about that).

Those 51 mystery points would put me at 391 (395 if I add Lando to my flagship), giving me a great bid for going first. The problem is, I don't know what to put there. I've narrowed it down to three options:

Neb Support. Pros: Shmitty said it best--see here (http://concentratefire.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-importance-of-the.html?m=0).Cons: Limited flexibility, and those ever-so-vulnerable side arcs.

CR90A with TRC. Pros: Fast, flexible, goes well with Mon Mothma. Cons: Fragile; may require some fancy formation flying to have 5 ships close together

Han Solo (add a HWK and X-wing which equals 51 points, all flown separately from the other squads). Pros: Han's ability; enemy ships are likely to ignore him; with a little luck, I can toss up to 4 dice at a ship; if enemy squads do try to tie him down, I can send my other squads toward their ships. Cons: losing an activation; won't mean squat if my ships get destroyed but he survives

Leaning towards CR90A but wondering what you all think.

If you're going to be all-in with 5 ships, be all in with 5 ships...

Drop the A-Wings and use those points to Toss in another MC30cTorpedo, equipped as the other one is...

is it the best choice? Probably not.. But it'd be **** annoying for your opponent... having that many activations and that many ships that actually hurt so they have to triage their forces...

Add in Admonition. If you have a Torpedo Frigate you will want to ignore a dice even if it costs you a token.

Problem with Admonition is the cost. It's definitely a great title, especially if I can put Willy Blistex on the ship too, but I don't know if it's worth giving up another ship for.

You can find the points.

I second Admonition. If you can squeeze in Lando, too, do it. A lot of people are all in on Foresight, but if a ship has XI7s, Admonition actually has more damage mitigation with spend/discard shenanigans. I like to run both titles, personally, really makes the ship survive better. A lot of my games I find that Admonition tends to last longer than Foresight, due to accuracies locking down evades/redirects.

Hmmm, I could do that. Maybe shave some points from squads to compensate.

OK, here is my new, revamped MSU list. Limited squads but with no large ships I'm not too worried about it. Han is included because he's awesome and I think he fits in here. Critiques welcome.

Looks good! I run a very similar list, only with less points in squadrons and swap the CR90Bs for\ CR90As with TRCs. His hard and defensively strong. I see this list also being very nasty, especially with the Han Solo shenanigans and autodamage from the Bs. Very nice.
