I'd set it up like so:

3 Hull - 2/1/1/1 - Speed 3, Squad 1, Eng 2

Evade & Scatter or Salvo & Scatter

Front 1 Blue - Sides - n/a - Rear 1 Blue

Anti Squad: 1 blue 1 red 1 black

Officer/Support/Weapons Team/O Retro/Turbolaser/Title

version b: same except Torpedoes instead of Turbolaser and Anti Squad is 1 blue 2 black

you could do stuff like LFC for the Salvo token, PDR, QLT, AET, HFZ, Flechettes

I'd say 30-34 points.

So you‘d also go for a flotilla...

I like the idea with all 3 colors for anti squadron dice!!

personally I‘d go for Evade & Scatter a a salvo is not really useful with 1 rear blue.
Weapon wise I‘d go with Front n/a - Sides 1 red, Rear n/a.
Hull 3, 1C/1S/2E; Shields same same.
Speed 3 = II / II:I / II:I:-

But as we‘re talking about a flotilla or small ship I wouldn‘t go with more than 3-4 Upgrade slots!

Salvo is awesome on a Flak Boat.

Honestly, make its rear dice *nothing* and then give it 2 Salvo Tokens.

Give it titles with Variations of Instigator.

Now uses those Salvo Tokens anti squadron.

Better than Quad Laser Turrets, since you could return fire vs Rhymer, for example.

@Drasnighta you‘re right!! I forgot that against squads salvo uses its anti-squad armament. Makes absolute sense and is definitely a perfect match for an AA ship.

If you put a red die in the side some Comedian will put Ackbar on it and a CF dial for 4 red die out the side for 34pts. That's why the rebel transports don't have side weapons.

Flotilla is a good idea though, with an evade and a salvo token, no scatter to make SURE they stay well back, and maybe red/blue flak or blue/black.

Instead of a dedicated flak boat, I would prefer to see an upgrade that made crits count as damage vs squadrons (small/medium ship only).

I think a dedicated flak vessel and an card that allowed crits to count on any size ship would offer an unnecessary handicap to ship-only fleets and especially the SSD.

That is might dangerous though. Imagine a ship that has LTT using it. You could put something like 5-7 damage on a single target.

You kinda already can at times.

I'm casting thread necromancy at 3rd level to bring this back from the grave, as today I picked up my Onager . Not exactly what I suggested, but close (and better)

I was reading through it and saw the comment about "wanting an SSD" and I was trying to figure out what the joke was. I looked at the date and saw it had been necro'd. Then I saw the request for a narrow front arc super weapon from a couple of years ago and my mind was blown. Still waiting on that AA flotilla though.
