What's Your Vector, Victor?

By Darth Meanie, in X-Wing

Looking for the bestest build on the Gozanti Vector. I've run it a couple to time like this:

Title, Docking Clamps, Auto Protocols, Dual Laser Turret. (52 points)

I "cheated", not realizing the TIE/sf is not a TIE Fighter.

What is every body else idea of the primo build, assuming the Vector title's use?

CHARRRRGGGEEEEEEE!!!!

(59)

Gozanti-class Cruiser (59) - Gozanti-class Cruiser
Rear Admiral Chiraneau (3), Ion Cannon Battery (6), Docking Clamps (0), Engine Booster (3), Vector (2), Optimized Generators (5)

Use booster to go forward one, move forward 4, unload 4 any things of your choice (preferably something that likes to be in the fray) and then use RAC to boost even more as you annihilate everything you run over. Ion cannon makes it easy to chase stuff too. Lol.

A TIE/SF Fighter counts as a TIE Fighter in terms of ship type restrictions.

You can dock TIE/SF Fighters (and TIE/FO Fighters) to the Gozanti. "Legally". ;)

Last night played a mad game with Vector for the first time. Previously stuck to Requiem and Supressor.

I took Broadcast Array (love the Jam action), Automated Protocols, Dual Laser, Docking Clamps, Shield Tech and Construction Droid. It did well but think you're lighter build is good, especially if you go for a 200 point match. Last night was a 300 point game with mostly large based ships so it was crazy. I had 4 Black Squadron TIE Fighters with Snap Shot docked. Having them deploy all at once was tricky but fun.

To be honest, while I like Vector most as title because it's cool, I usually wished to have 1-2 TIEs left at some later time. Sending in all of them was never worth it for me

Fudge. Someone on these boards said it was not legal. FFG seriously needs to write down the official options in the next FAQ!!!

Then head over to the Requiem thread. . . ;)

Look at the Youngster entry.

RRiiiiiiiiggghhhhtttt. And I would think to cross-reference it that way because. . . ?

How 'bout they toss the Gozanti pilot card or Docking Clamps into the FAQ instead. Page count is certainly no longer a factor.

Haha there's plenty to back up the Docking Clamp situation (even though not specifically FAQ'd). X-Wing only upgrades on a T-70 X-Wing. TIE only upgrade on anything with just TIE in the title. Maybe Youngster was a FAQ... whereas the Docking Clamps hasn't been frequently asked. :) Anyway this is Epic are the rules that important?! ;)

I wanted to share two topics that are really awesome, but got lost in the depths of these forums.

1) @rabid1903 explores different formations you can execute as you launch fighters from your Gozanti with pictures .

2) @Red Castle shares his " bomber strike " where he is able to launch 4 TIE bombers in formation, ready to pummel the enemy.

I think both are good reads, and pertain quite well to this topic.
