I thought I was the only one spotting the Avenger - Suppressor combo, but when I came here today I saw a bunch of fleets very similar to my idea. Whatever, I'm guessing it's a good idea then?
How about this:
Faction: Galactic Empire
Points: 399/400
Commander: Grand Moff Tarkin
Assault Objective: Most Wanted
Defense Objective: Hyperspace Assault
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions
[ flagship ] Imperial II-Class Star Destroyer (120 points)
- Grand Moff Tarkin ( 38 points)
- Avenger ( 5 points)
- Gunnery Team ( 7 points)
- Phylon Q7 Tractor Beams ( 6 points)
- Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points)
- XI7 Turbolasers ( 6 points)
- Leading Shots ( 4 points)
Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)
- Suppressor ( 4 points)
- Slicer Tools ( 7 points)
Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)
- Repair Crews ( 4 points)
Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)
- Bomber Command Center ( 8 points)
1 Major Rhymer ( 16 points)
1 Dengar ( 20 points)
2 TIE Advanced Squadrons ( 24 points)
4 TIE Bomber Squadrons ( 36 points)
1 Soontir Fel ( 18 points)
Objective choice is odd for me, but I don't like contested outpost anymore as I think it gives away my positioning and flight plan. Fire lanes with only 1 ISD as a gunship is a no-go, and I've had my share of bad experiences with fleet ambush too, so hyperspace assault is kind of a lesser evil. The ship HA would be suppressor, of course, messing up enemy's battle plan. As for reds, I don't want precision strike because of Tarkin, I have gunnery team on the ISD (so no adv gunnery) and opening salvo with only 4 ships looks a bit meh. Lesser evil again with Most Wanted i guess. Superior positions is a pain in the you know where and an autopick for my bomber heavy list.
The overall goal of the list is to fly tight, protected by a respectable squadron force and repairing damage via Tarkin tokens and repair crew. Then, when the opportunity arises, electronic warfare 1+ enemy ship into oblivion with suppressor + avenger combo and bomber aid. In the meanwhile harass the enemy via tractor beam and bomber command center boosted squadrons.
