Hey folks,

So i've been wanting to try Vader light cruisers for a while, tried them at an OP last weekend and they are devastating to ships, but I got lucky, none of my opponents were running bombers and i'm pretty worried about what happens when I do meet a Rhymer ball... So I'm hoping to get some advice on using the meager points I have left to throw some fighters in, here's the rest of the list:

Vaders Kittens
Author: Garro

Faction: Galactic Empire
Points: 345/400

Commander: Darth Vader

Assault Objective: Advanced Gunnery
Defense Objective: Hyperspace Assault
Navigation Objective: Solar Corona

Arquitens-class Light Cruiser (54 points)
- Intel Officer ( 7 points)
- Enhanced Armament ( 10 points)
= 71 total ship cost

[ flagship ] Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)
- Darth Vader ( 36 points)
= 59 total ship cost

Gladiator I-Class Star Destroyer (56 points)
- Demolisher ( 10 points)
- Intel Officer ( 7 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Engine Techs ( 8 points)
- Assault Proton Torpedoes ( 5 points)
= 90 total ship cost

Arquitens-class Light Cruiser (54 points)
- Intel Officer ( 7 points)
- Enhanced Armament ( 10 points)
= 71 total ship cost

Raider-I Class Corvette (44 points)
- Agent Kallus ( 3 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Flechette Torpedoes ( 3 points)
= 54 total ship cost

The Raider provides some Anti squadron but it won't be enough alone for sure, 55 points left and ideally I'd like some kind of bid. I'm not sure it's possible to build a decent fighter screen in but am open to ideas?

Cheers

Garro

Ciena Rey and Whisper

And thats it. Scatter aces

Some argue Rudor instead of whisper.

Watch out for the "cat and mouse" as I've dubed it....

The Z guy in the advanced and then Bossk...

Seems like the best option, even leaves room for a bid, not much you can do with 55 points.

I do love that combo! add Jendon for extra fun.

I'd go Valen and save the points, but Whisper is also a solid choice... a little more survivable, albeit also more expensive.

Also, throw Instigator on the Raider, and keep those two fighters stuck to Instigator like greebles on the hull. Pin with Instigator to counter Intel, then engage selectively with the fighters to protect Instigator until it can litter your enemies with Flechettes.
