I've been tinkering a bit with the Arquitens Light Cruiser. Mostly because it looks great and has gotten screen time in Rebels (so I'm betting we get it in Armada, sooner or later). I'm sure the FFG versions will be different. But in the meantime we can have a bit of fun with my version

My version is a Small base ship with native speed 3 and good yaw at speed 2-3. It has command 1 and 3 engineering, which is a new combination. Squad is just 1, so not a carrier.

The Light Cruiser version is pretty much an Imperial broadside version of the CR90 - only with ordnance. Use it to run TRCs (finally) for the Imps, then close for the kill with your fav ordnance upgrade. It can cake Engine Techs, but it's probably not worth it. Works well with Screed of course, but a TRC version could be great with Tagge.

The Communications Ship version has less combat power than the Light Cruiser (comparable to a CR90 in firepower, only slower). But, and this is the fun part, it has a Fleet Support icon in place of the Ordnance. So you can now stuff Flee Support on a non-Flotilla. I'd say the obvious choice is Slicer Tools - watch the Comms Ship (possible with ET) race in a slice a key enemy ship. Very thematic IMO.

No titles yes, but I'll try to add a couple soon.

I'll also add more ships as I go. Next up is the Executor, with a custom mega-base, six shooting arcs, and lots of goodies.

You know if you give it rapid reload, screed and TRC's it becomes better than an MC30, command 1 and cheaper....

Thanks!

The combat version gets way too many dice, I think. Just adding in the blacks was a mistake. It needs a slight adjustment.

Taking that black dice out of its side arc and I will stay quiet. Its probably not balanced but it wont be too extreme one way or the other.

Oh try out the Vindicator Cruiser next!

Oh try out the Vindicator Cruiser next!

Will do. On a medium base, with some Interdictor similarities. They are still related? Or is that only Legends now?

Legends.

According to the Know-Its at Rebels, New Interdictor is a New design, in prototype testing.

HOWEVER

The Immobilizer 418 is apparently Canon in "Tarkin", and the Vindicator would still be similar to that, we just don't know how it would differ to the Interdictor we have here.... Most likely, smaller, less powerful.

And about 20pts too cheap on the cost.... mid 60s for the base model by the looks of things

Got the arcs and the long range side batteries right...the rest was rubbish

That's pretty good for a guess

You were almost right on the fleet support upgrade. Right thinking for the wave, just wrong faction.
