I was just wondering about how many mc30s would be possible to put in a fleet. would you guys be able to share your stories about what is the most mc30s that you've put in a list, and how it turned out?

Four is doable, realistic and effective.

This seems accurate. @Ardaedhel should swing by here and let you know as soon as he see's the title. I think his regional list ran 4.

Next question, how many can you fit in your mouth?

I don't know. I only own 3, and none of them seem very tasty.

Like a man tool. Sometimes I just whip it all around to see what type of maneuvers I can make with CR90s and throw it on the table and see where I end up.

You can fit five with OE, APT, Riekaan and a 10 point bid. Mothma with 3 or 4 of them with some additional support ships may be more effective, but I love the look on an opponents face when they see they will have to deal with five zombie-shrimps

There's always your man tool....

I went there....

Dang it Undeadguy! You beat me to the man tool....wait....Nevermind....

3 is totally viable. It's better than 4 IMO simply because you can put more upgrade on them or can have a more effective fighter screen.

Facing 3 MC30s is very hard. 4 I think is easier since there are less things on the board and less upgrades on each one.

Yeah but OP asked for most.

I'd say 3 is the most that you want to use.

Yeah but you are adding your own limitations to it. He didnt say "whats the most i can get to wreck face at a tourny with" he said "whats the most i can get in a list".

Also I'm pretty sure Ard's list runs 4 and it won a regional so either way.

Well if he wanted an absolute limit on the amount of MC30s he can add he can use a calculator.

Most I have played is 2 and it was super effective. Most I have faced is 3 and it was really effective.

I would think 4 would be solid. You can run 4 with upgrades and a flotilla. Take OE/APT on them all, Rieekan/Mothma, and a transport for 336. Now you have 64 for squads and squad support or more upgrades.

5 means you invested 345 before upgrades (this includes 30 point Admiral). Having just OE puts it at 365. OE/APT is at 390 and you have no squad screen.

I would expect a 4xShrimp to look something like

@Ardaedhel get in here and tell them!

i usually fit 2 in my epic 900 pt fleet/300 pt fighter battles. Normally with titles, turbolaser reroute circuits, rapid reloads, OE's and ECM's.

i remember ardaedhel's list of 4 mc30s with upgrades plus 3 flotillas. squadronless, but really controlled the activation game and forced you to move first into the death zone of the mc30s' black dice.

Oh look, an MC30 thread.

Yeah, you guys pretty much covered it.
