Rieekan's Ryder's

MC-30 Torpedo Frigate-84

APT

Ord Experts

So the original list I used had A Neb-B support with redemption, project experts,Leia and Rieekan in it. It was mainly a support craft. I felt that in all of my games the projection experts didn't really come in handy. I moved a few shield here or there but really didn't keep so them from getting killed anyways due to APTs and what not. Also passing a engineering command off wasn't worth it due to my lack in ship firepower and the need for squadron commands. With my change above I feel I will be adding some much need close range support and something aggressive due to the defenssive nature of the list. It's a very finesse list that one wrong more could spell doom but with the MC-30 in the mix I feel I'm adding anther ship. The Neb-B I dropped didn't feel like it was doing much. However, now Rieekan is in the MK.II and will become a large target but with carful placement of my MC-30 and the threat of Yavaris I think he will be ok. Anyways sorry for the text and thanks for any tips.

Putting a bump on this and also thinking of putting Rieekan on the MC30 and maybe taking Gallant Haven off the Assualt Frigate to be at 391 for a better bid. bump.

Most of the Rieekan lists i see use multiple cr90's with engine techs to ram people repeatedly before they die. In this list im not sure why you want him over another like mothma or akbar.

Because Named Squadrons also fall under Rieekan...

Ahh gotcha, I guess that makes sense then.

I ran the list with Redemption. I ran it multiple times now with the latest game being a Tabled Win (I also achieved a personal best being called a different name every round by my opponent).

I use Lando on my Redemption and is also where I house Rieekan. The squadrons with Adar and Yavaris is where the list is powerful, hugging Haven pretty much means the squadrons are pretty resilient if not indestructible. The last 3 opponents pretty much gave up on trying to kill the squads. I don't have a problem with the shrimp though either. Let me know how it goes.

I like this idea, how do you fly it? Formation, etc.

Pretty much place the Assault frigate first then all your squadrons . After that put Yavaris and Rieekan on the side with the smallest threat. I place Gallant Haven and Yavaris side by side about 3 away from the player edge and from each other with Rieekan back in the board edge in the middle of them. This creates a good defensive bubble from the likes of Gladiators. I will normally start them all at speed 1 or 2 depending on the mission with Rieekan almost always starting at speed 1. First round always take a Nav token with Rieekan so when the ship to ship combat starts you can explode between the other two right up the middle for a close range shot next round. You can bet that all the shots will be at Rieekan which is why I can't decide which ship to put him in. But it seems to work on the MC-30 pretty well.
