Are Quad Laser Turrets really a deterrent?

Quad on Flechette Raider with Kallus does seem fun but then again, why would they even attack it at with their squadrons at that point.

They wouldn't... You attack them with it.

For me, this usually looks something like... Jump in with the Raider, pin the squadrons with Instigator and selectively engage with a TIE or two to keep the Raider alive, then go to town on the squadron ball.

jesus i forgot about that title..... ships getting to 60pts though but maybe worth it.

Yeah. I was recently trapped by Instigator + Morna Kee and my bomber ball was wrecked.

It was quite a thing to see.

Yup I just realized this morning I did not factor in the bombing dice.

Also, Blail, your initial response did not include any mods to the dice. You just mentioned B-Wing average 2.5 damage.

In NC, we play a variety of things. We don't constantly run the list over and over, and we are migrating to the "less-squad" lists now.

I'd disagree that you NEED to run more than 2 BCC. I'm fine with 1 and Toryn. I also never use 2 FCT because I rarely have 2 ships that can use them. To each their own I suppose.

sorry. That was an expectation. I've already outlined above it makes no sense from a efficiency and competitive standpoint to not run ONE BCC with the Bwings. Two and toryn is a different deal, but either way, because we've actually listed the numbers, two BCC looks also like its a very efficient choice.

Anyway, I've listed reasons for ONE bcc still. which is likely to be 6/8 + 1 + 2/8(1) for black reroll = 2.

So two BCC looks pretty good.

And this doesn't even add toryn or Norra, which are also strong options by the time you've dicided on 3 SLOW bwings and yavaris, which isn't equipped like Salvation to deal effective ship damage.

instigator traps you in place by itself right?

NASTY.

It does, but Morna Kee tanks the squadrons while Instigator locks them in place and prevents Intel from freeing them.
