Ackbar & MC80

By Fredrikhuhtanen, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

I am new to building rebel fleets, but I really like the idea of Admiral Ackbar and tried to throw something together. I have not decided on objectives yet though. The focus of the fleet is clearly the quite tanky and incredibly expensive MC80, the idea is of course to use the defiance combo with leading shots and just blow stuff up that way.

Rebel fleet- 396/400

Admiral- Admiral Ackbar (38 pts)

Flagship- Mc80 Assault Cruiser, Defiance, Raymus Antilles, Engine techs, Redundant shields, Electric Countermeasures, Leading shots (153 pts)

I have been trying to make a similar list work myself... I think you will get a lot more mileage out of ECM than redundant Shields. Always being able to use your brace is huge!

You might also consider dropping one CR90 for two GR75 to up your activations. And put Jaina's light on one of them so it can hide behind its big brother without getting obstructed.

Finally, Jan is not giving you much in this list. I would swap for another squad with more hull to slow down enemy bombers. I have been toying with the idea of Tycho/Shara/Dutch as a token screen but never tried it.

Yeah, picked both redundant and ECM to make the ship super tanky, I am sure I will get more out of ECM.

The problem with GR75 is that they have no broadside...
Yeah I will add Jaina's light probobly

Might sound wierd, but I had the idea of making the fighter screen be Shara Bey, Dash Rendar and a YT1300, sadly that means no Tycho, but it is a lot of hull points.
