Slicer tools - Which "Tool" is your favorite?

By Wonderbread, in Star Wars: Armada

So i have ram slicer tool a couple of times with varying degrees of success. My question is which are your favorite upgrades to use in conjuction with Slicer tools.

I love mont ferrat and tractor beams but im not sure if the overall cost is worth it.

I like max survivability and minimal cost so as to not have the enemy focus it immediately. I'll go slicers on a brig hope to do this

I usually run it naked or with montferrat to make it even more pesky

Quantum storm to get into slicer range quicker

BH on one, QS on the other. Nothing else, but if I were going to tack on an upgrade, it would be EHB. I often find myself throwing a pair of pinning A-wings with my Slicer flotillas, because the way the pacing goes in my games, both often want to go first.

Anyone hyperspace assaulted in one yet??

I've found Quantum Storm to be very useful for getting into range or out of a dangerous arc. Have run Tractors on it for a while, but am thinking of dropping it as its very situationally dependent and not that useful when it is used. Am planning on upgrading it to a Combat flotilla though, I've become very fond of them for extra flak support. The 'Flaktilla' as I've come to call it :)

Ugh! Exhibitionists!

Not when I can Hyperspace Assult with Yavaris Shenanigans and B-wings.

Seems like a good candidate for hyper assault, since you often want them behind the enemy.. drop in suppressor behind the lines with tools, sounds decent

I did not think that you could hyperspace it in as the flotillas are different to small ships?

A flotilla is a small-base ship, with a special overlap rule.

Think of "flotilla" as a keyword. TIE Bombers have the Bomber keyword, but they are still squadrons. They act like standard squadrons in every way except for their keywords.

Flotillas are the same thing, but for ships, we're just not used to having keywords for ships yet.

Cheers that's good to know! In the games that I have played with flotillas we have treated them as a 4th class of ship and so did not benefit from Cracken or Motti.

Bright hope just got even more annoying :D
