Sooooooo

That h9 x17 combo I suggested pages back....?

What I don't like about H9's is the damage cost. I absolutely hate how I have to turn a hit into an accuracy. It's great on ships like the MC30 which don't have a very good chance to roll an accuracy at all but on the big ships like the Liberty I have trouble seeing the point since you are more than likely to roll an accuracy anyway.

It's insurance for the time you need an accuracy, and don't roll it? and blue dice mean you can always guarantee an accuracy, always.

Sorry to kind of necro but lookinf for some opinion on whether to MK or not.

Would you choose:

Star Cruiser

- Mon Karren
- Lando Callriassian
- Gunnery Team
- Spinal Armament
- X17 Turbolasers
- Leading Shots

OR

Battle Cruiser

- Lando Callriassian
- Gunnery Team
- Spinal Armament
- X17 Turbolasers
- Leading Shots

The battle cruiser gets me some more longer range dice, better AA, better dice to use with leading shots, and a 1 point bid in my list all for dropping MK.Mk gets me a more reliable damage pusher overall since I rely on more blue dice and MK acts like insurance to push one more damage through instead of a roll.

OR I could say screw it and run engine techs instead of MK on the Star Cruiser.

TBH, I would try to fit MK on the Battle Cruiser. Perhaps if you drop Spinal Armament, that way you have MK and a two point bid.

I thought if that but the BC plus spinal gives me 6 dice at long range (w/CF). 6 dice seems like the threshold where long range reds really seem to hurt from my experience but your point about MK on the BC seems good and worth testing out.

My opinions are well documented in this thread

At the moment,I am itching to try out:

MC80 Star Cruiser (96 points)

- General Madine ( 30 points)

- Mon Karren ( 8 points)

- Walex Blissex ( 5 points)

- Veteran Gunners ( 5 points)

- Quad Turbolaser Cannons ( 10 points)

- H9 Turbolasers ( 8 points)

= 162 total ship cost

The Quad/H9 combo almost guarantees an accuracy, allowing me to add another red set to an accuracy, then my veteran gunners allow me to reroll all 8 dice if I didn't get quite enough damage the first time.
