Yup MK really is not that great. There is only one build that really makes any sense for it. To be honest you can accomplish the same thing easier.

I disagree. Sure it could be done easier but Mon Karren offers you a strong advantage. It allows you push far more damage through.

We shall see but I like it.

I like the card,but I'm not sure it's worth 8 points. Take a Liberty with XI7s and a Liberty with MK, with the same damage roll against almost anything, an ISD for example, and the difference is 1 damage on another shield zone.

-edit - I do realize that sometimes it all comes down to 1 extra damage.

XI-7s with XX-9s might be able to push more damage through than Mon Karren, but then it becomes a slight gamble.

That's an neat idea to get around the contain tokens on the big ships. I'm a bit more partial to just doing more damage so I've been liking Spinal Armaments, XI7s, and Leading Shots on a Liberty because I like fishing for the red dice double hit.

I found the Star Cruiser with XI7, Spinal and Mon Karren to be fantastic. It is more expensive than just XI7's and HTT's but I get Spinal where as to get the same level of red I would have to use a Battlecruiser

I don't think anyone is doubting that is a bad build, but it's really a matter of keeping track of when MK actually helps you. You could probably drop MK from that and see almost no fall off in damage, depending on target of course, but as in the ISD example, it only lets you push 1 more damage through.

I have found that it does.

If you drop MK you do see a fall because now you only have XI7's to mitigate. They can still brace, redirect, and evade (Gladiator, Needa, etc) while HTT's and XI7's can still get hit all 3 and mitigate 4 damage and take the rest on the shields.

Mon Karren means that if you accuracy their brace they can only redirect or evade. They mitigate far less damage.

Even in your example, w/o MK, if you accuracy the brace, they can only mitigate 2, and that's only at long range (you like the starcruiser from your past statements, so probably you're firing at medium range). The issue isn't that MK doesn't help, it absolutely does, but if it's worth it. I think it can be but I honestly think the value of MK has been overstated.

Honestly there's enough overlap with XI7s, MK, and HTTs that people might want to consider taking different options, which is probably good for the game, especially on a ship with two turbolaser upgrades.

All point totals suggested in the following post are almost completely arbitrary. I put almost no thought into the numbers assigned;

I'd like to see a glad title worth taking that isn't Demolisher. Maybe something;

• Adjective that makes it clear we're the bad guys

2 pts

You may equip a turbolaser upgrade

And an antiship raider title

• Stolen Concepts

4 pts

When defending, you can do what those filthy rebel jerks running mon mothma do with their evades. When they ***** about it, tweak their titties, point and laugh.

I'm pretty comfortable with the options for the other imperial ships. Wouldn't say no to others, but I'm ok with them. Maybe a VSD title that lets you take a support team.

For the rebs;

Afmk2

•Orcasmic Murder Frog

6 pts

You may fire your antisquad armament at long range

MC30

•Shrimp Scampers

5 pts

nav symbol: when you execute a manuever after resolving a nav command you add one additional yaw.

Some, my Brain went Madine, Nav Token, Nav Dial, and break your Maneuver Tool trying to click 3 Clicks of Yaw.........

Honestly though, MK, XI7s and XX9s will be the optimal damage dealer. It's super painful against all targets, but it's expensive.

I'd like a Raider title that gave it an extra Squadron command, or Ion Cannon Spinal Mount upgrade.

I want a title where my opponent has to buy me a beer...

They can already mount Expanded Hangars, though... Do you want to drive one to 3?

Up to a maximum of 2. I just want to get madines effect on it without having to bring him as the commander. Would also work as a liberty title.

Oh another one;

MC80 Home One Variant

•One Pump Thump

5 points

You may discard this card to set all your blank dice to the facing of your choice.

MY GOD

Man after my own heart.

The only ship title you should be asking about is "Greeblehauler" Get it right, people!

Coming out, I think I'd like to see titles that work with campaign play. Maybe one that record a ships location, but don't have to show it on the strategic board. One that allows a ship to repair more damage between strategic turns than it normally would.

More titles would be quite awesome indeed !

I'd like to see a VSD title that lets it spend defense tokens while at speed 0.

I always thought General Veers (officer) should let you exchange any one defence token for a Brace (like Needa).

VSD - Galactic Civil War Refit (0 points) - Exchange your Ion Cannon or Ordnance slot for antisquad 1 Blue + 1 Black, and gain the defensive retrofit slot.

(Sort of depicts them ripping extra guns out of the VSD and using the freed up space and energy for more modern systems).

I actually would love a carrier-oriented title for the Gladiator !

The GSD2 is very similar to the Neb Escort, just a lot nastier but less tanky at close range.

Some kind of Yavaris-ish title would be pretty awesome !

Good idea! It does come with Chirenau after all. I'd be up for that.

Oh god that's right now that you mention it ! I've always seen Chirpy used on VSDs, but he did come in the GSD kit...

Got. To. Find. Unconventional and annoying stuff to do with Chirp on a GSD.

I want more rebel defensive titles. Heck if I know the context or text, but some fun defense ones.

A new AFmk2 title that lets evades work one range band close that would stack with Mothma to get an evade that cancels dice even at close.

I like the title that allows a squadron token to activate 2 squadrons. Maybe do one that allows CF token to reroll 2 dice.

Gladiator title, any enemy squadron attacking a friendly squadron takes one black dice in an attack from the gladiator?

I'd kind of like to see a CR-90 title that does something neat pushing squadrons around. Maybe something to the effect of flight controllers or Adar Tallon? It would be cool to fly a powered up named squadron along with your corvette.

There should be a Nebulon title that gives an increase on the side shields by 1 and an addition of a Redirect token or replace an existing defeence token with a redirect.

Why?

Why not. Alot of people complain about the Nebs weak sides, this would give the Neb a little more love

Because it wouldn't be a Nebulon anymore.
