Clone Wars ships...

By Gottmituns205, in Star Wars: Armada

So for the past few days I've been wondering about my next "thing to replace the assault frigate" with to make my ships stand out more so from the rest of the players in the area....

So I'm torn between two ships...The Commerce Guild Destroyer, or the Munificent-class star frigate.

Yet that aside....I'm curious would anyone else like to see former CIS stuff for Armada for the rebels? Like I was thinking the Munificent would be a great ship for raids on the Imperial Holonet...include cards that could screw with commands and such similar to slicer tools but in a different way? Few named ships like "Voice of Freedom" and "Call to Arms"

Look I'm board at 1:20am and I just rambling somewhat...but since this game is running out of ships I figured it'd be worth a worthy conversation.

The CIS ships would make great additions to any rebellion fleet. In legends they used Lucrehulks, Providences and Recusant destroyers. For medium ships though I think that firepower wise the recusant would be the better but for a ship that has more tactical usage the Munificent comes out on top for the reasons that you already listed. It also favours forward firepower.

Munificent is one of my favourite Clone Wars ships, besides they were more tanky and multipurpose over the Destroyer (which I think was pretty glass cannon like).

So if you want to replace the AF neither of these have strong side arcs, however the Providence class does, and it is only 400m longer. The Recusant and Munificent has strong front arcs due to their dorsal turbolasers. And just for reference on the strength of the Recusant, it took 5-6 to take down a single Venator. And the ISDs used by the Empire are leaps and bounds stronger than the Venator, so the CIS ships may not be on par as many people think they are.

Looks like we need to bring in the ellipses class cruiser

I also think it's more likely the separatist holdouts joined with the Rebellion. Their cause for self-determination for the outer systems is more compatible with the Rebellion's restoration of liberty to the galaxy than the Empire's all-encompassing tyrrany. And as Ezra pointed out, both sides were played to the benefit of the Empire.

Hard do say which of the ships would be best for the Rebellion at this point, except whatever it is should probably be a medium. Some of us are starting to ask about the viability of medium ships in this game, and a new big craft could help bring the medium and heavy game back into better viability.

Personally I'm a fan of the Recuscant, but I think at that point it'll be a medium version of the Nebulon.

On a side note...I'm seriously considering buying some tri-droid fighters to use as A-wings.

I want to see

Acclamator -class

Venator -class

And the Union Starships

Love that one. The three main CIS ships and a Venator are represented in the Rebel fleet.

The Recusant and Munificent has strong front arcs due to their dorsal turbolasers. And just for reference on the strength of the Recusant, it took 5-6 to take down a single Venator.

TCW Recusants, according to Incredible Vehicles, are large (2km long) and in the Star Destroyer combat class. They're sometimes used as flagships.

There are 2 different versions.

The Recusant is a beauty. The Munificent might be a bit too small.

For the Legendsverse, yes - it's not clear if that applies to the canonverse though, or if there is just the one Recusant model, in that.

Well, according to canon the ISD and Recusant are not the same class. So I guess the book you sourced is irrelevant as well... Hard to tell what is considered canon now a days. And FFG doesn't need to follow canon so they can make up what ever they like which is nice.

On the Contrary. It is exceptionally easy to tell what is Canon these days...

You just need to know the date of the Source involved.

And then what? Easiest way to figure it out is clicking canon on Wookiepedia, but those articles have been gutted of any useful material it's hard to know the specs on anything. Especially when Legends simply says what the armament, length, etc., etc..

I love that painting and have practically studied it. But I never noticed the Venator. Nice call! Personally, I'd rather see it as an Imperial ship, though.

There were NO separatist holdouts. As they were practically exclusively staffed and operated by droids, they were shut down from Mustafar on Imperial Day 1. This is 100% canon as it is in the Ep III book. According to EU however the location of every separatist asset was force-revealed and both ships and droids were scrapped - with the exception of some droids. There was definitely no capital ships the Rebels could have used. In fact according to EU they used mostly mothballed Republic ships before they managed to liberate Mon Calamari.

Because Armament, Length, etc, etc, is not canon . It comes from a now not canon source.

That's why its not in the canon tab.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm not arguing that the canon is complete, or even useful at times. Its not.

Only that you can easily tell if a source is Canon or not.

All of the really detailed sourcebooks we had in the past that detailed these sorts of things for the RPGs and such (WEG in particular) were frought with errors, but at least they tried ... Until such time as we get more of those sorts of information pieces back ... We have to either accept what we are utilising is Non-canon (and remember to consider it so), or simply believe it to not exist - and honestly... I do advocate using things, but we cannot accept it as Gospel ... Until it is Canon.

There were NO separatist holdouts.

Star Wars: Rebels (And Canon!) , says otherwise... :D

Welcome to Agamar .

My wish list is basically an Imperial Venator like we see at the end of Episode III, and a Recusant rebel ship would be fantastic. Aren't they supposed to be a Mon Cal/Quarren design anyway? Would fit in aesthetically and thematically with the rest of the Rebel ships. Would love to see it with a very narrow but devastating front arc.

I'd like to see a Providence for the rebels as it would be a good early warship for the separatist holdouts (which did exist) and other rebel group (like Berch Teller) could use.

Recuscants had droid brains, not crews. So if you could hack into it, you're good to go. This could be portrayed in the game as the first ship not to have an officer slot.

They also had slow reaction times so they could have 3 command.
