Raiders as a Flight deck

By jpersons73, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

I know they are small and agile and most use them to speed around the board or for the death of 1k cuts. But if one wanted to be different. Using Tarkin as the Commander you can get 2 activation or with expanded Hangers get 3 activation's on them, they also have very nice anti squad dice. Has anyone used them in this manner and if so how was it?

I will leave this one to PT. He really tried to make it work, so will hopefully pass on ideas.

I tried a couple of times when raiders first came out. Actually, it was more like, "I will turn these into pocket carriers if it is the last $#$% thing I do." I still failed. Couldn't get it to work with better than maybe 10% or 20% win rate. It was fun, but when you build carriers you take squads that need carriers, and when you use a flimsy carrier that has to stick around to activate squadrons, your opponent just flies right into your face and blows you apart.
