Just won a protectorate fighter in a tournament yesterday and I have another one on the way. All you guys that already have your stuff or all you guys playing them on vassal, how are they performing. What builds do you like? Looks like Fenn is going to be good. Not sure it's going to make a big splash though.

Fun to play,and somehow competitive but not overpowered. Lack shields and evade action makes it very vulnerable and glass cannon-ish.

Better than palp-free interceptors, in that there are at best 2 good interceptors. I count at least 4 useful pilots including generics.

The key difference: minimal low cost upgrades make the protectorate great where the interceptor is caught with its pants down.

Yeah, the generics are solid and Fenn Rau is also really good. You have to fly it aggressively, go in for that range one shot with fearlessness and title, and then peel out to rinse and repeat.

Fun. Who cares about competitiveness.

Eh

But you know my name

Fenn Rau is amazeballz if you like rolling 5 attack dice.

I just wish all the generics were cheaper. I'm still trying to find a decent 20-point scum ship build. I wanted the PS1 Protectorate to be 18 points so I could run it with autothrusters.

I'd even be happy with 19 to run it with the title. Pretty much every single comparision I've looked at versus other ships says it should be 19 points. And most of those are comparing it to ships (generics) that alreayd don't see play because they're too expensive.

I've played teroch a couple of times and haven't had too much luck, admittedly this might (probably) be more down to my flying than the ship, but I've found that while I can often get him within range 1 of my target, he's still often range 2 my opponents other ships in a joust and he's suffered from that.

Fun. Who cares about competitiveness.

Tournament players I suppose.

I have two on order. I can't wait. I think this is a ship that can cause a lot of damage depending on the matchup. I'm think of pairing with a large scum ship to start but may look at two more to fly a swarm.

im looking forward to seeing it flown, it looks like it will broaden Scum lists well; just waiting to see....

Allt the troll players will be playing double Ghosts with accuracy corretors and autoblaster turrets just to spoil the fun

I actually like the Zealous Recruit at 20. I've played 3 games now with 3 Recruits and Fenn Rau. The Recruits are good blockers, hit hard, have a great dial, and that 4th hit point matters. I'm messing around with lists right now that use the EPT generics to put in Attani Mindlink, which I feel like is really solid on this ship, but no experience in play yet.
