So I'm working on a Build with Arquitens and Darth vader, EA is proboly the best up grade with Darth, but I cant quite fit it in so what turbolasers and why? DTT seams redundant to me with Darth Vader, but how do you guys run them? with Darth Vader in mind

Slaved Turrets have worked well for me with Vader.

What else is in the list?

I may look at XI7S in that case, as you should be throwing enough damage out that punching through shields is helpful.

Alternatively, just skip turbo lasers and get Intelligent....officers....

this is the list as it stand right now iv been messing with it on and off.

Commander: Darth Vader

Assault Objective: Most Wanted
Defense Objective: Planetary Ion Cannon
Navigation Objective: Solar Corona

Arquitens-class Light Cruiser (54 points)
- Slaved Turrets ( 6 points)

Raider-I Class Corvette (44 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Flechette Torpedoes ( 3 points)
= 51 total ship cost

Raider-I Class Corvette (44 points)
- Instigator ( 4 points)

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

Arquitens-class Light Cruiser (54 points)
- Slaved Turrets ( 6 points)
= 60 total ship cost

Gladiator I-Class Star Destroyer (56 points)

- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Engine Techs ( 8 points)
- Assault Proton Torpedoes ( 5 points)
= 83 total ship cost

2 TIE Interceptor Squadrons ( 22 points)

What about dropping all those ordnance experts, since you have Vader anyhow?

I would drop them on the Raiders anyways, simply because once they are close enough to use them theyre not going to be using alot of Evades anyways.

That would free up the point difference between slaved turrets and enhanced armament....

That being said, I would highly suggest... different squadrons. A point more for Defenders for example. That extra two HP is going to help alot.

Also, if you have the point to spare, I might also consider dropping the lesser raider for Morna Key and a Gozanti with Coms relay.

Problem is Darth Vader dose not work on the raiders flack.

Needa and TRC. Stupid easy double arcs all game.

Why not? It's whenever a ship is attacking. That ship can be attacking a squadron.

Now, with Ord. Experts, you can stack the re-roll...

I've been running 3x ARQs with Intel officers and Enhanced Armaments. Haven't taken it to a face to face game yet, but solo matches seem promising. Running paired ARQs in previous lists hasn't been disappointing, especially with intel officers.

Darth Vader: "While a friendly ship is attacking a ship,"

In multiples.

All with intel officer. Make the enemy ditch their evades and then brace.

With Dual Turbo Laser Turrets to ensure high damage from the 4 red dice.

If I am using Vader I am taking g enhanced armaments on the Arkittens.

True, but you are as likely as not to get a crit anyways.

I guess it depends on how squadron heavy your meta is.

my meta consists of rieekan aceholes.. and I have had pretty good success of getting crits with rerolls and agent kallus on one of the raiders. my meta feels like this..

This plus RBD when I have the points/it's the flagship/other good reasons.
