MS-1 Ion cannon

By chr335, in Star Wars: Armada

I just realized the ms-1 is a soft counter to the ECM.

Yes but as the Crit effect comes after the defence token is spent it only applies for subsequent volleys.

MS1 on a Raider-II is good if it fires first, then a tooled up ISD fires and rolls an accuracy.

MS1 in a tooled up ISD is ok but you would need to double arc and get a blue crit with the flak volley to really get the benefit.

I'd definitely put them on a CR90b to mess with a kitted ISD 2. Or anything with intel officer for that matter. Hmm....maybe a CR90b followed by a Liberty....

It's easier to just overload pulse a ship and hit it with avenger, then their ECMs are useless.

Which is cool and all, if you're a Rigid Snap-Backed, Conformism loving Imperial.

that's me!

that's me!

SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP! DID I SAY YOU COULD STAND UP AND BE EXCITED, MAGGOT?! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AN OFFICER IN THIS FINE IMPERIAL NAVY, BUT RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE ACTING LIKE A BOIL QUIVERING IN MY FACE AND I DO NOT LIKE IT.

This is my ion cannon, there are many like it but this one is mine. It is my best friend. It is my life.

Just remember .... Screed is your friend ... as I sometimes say, "Screed you very much."
