are three neb-bs good?

By Ethan N Mung, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

what do you guys think of this fleet?

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 397/400

Commander: General Dodonna

Assault Objective: Opening Salvo
Defense Objective: Fire Lanes
Navigation Objective: Minefields

[ flagship ] MC80 Command Cruiser (106 points)
- General Dodonna ( 20 points)
- Home One ( 7 points)
- Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points)
= 140 total ship cost

Nebulon-B Support Refit (51 points)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)
= 58 total ship cost

Nebulon-B Support Refit (51 points)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)
= 58 total ship cost

Nebulon-B Support Refit (51 points)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)
= 58 total ship cost

3 VCX-100 Freighters ( 45 points)
2 YT-1300s ( 26 points)
1 HWK-290 ( 12 points)

Interesting ship line up. Not sure I like the fighter ball doesn't seem to be their for anti ship or anti squadron. Perhaps switch the yt1300 with yt2400

the fighters are for the objectives.

Yes that is the 3 vcxs but the rest are confusing. You don't have any bombers so Intel isn't as useful ( i know you want the vcxs to be able to move to keep strategic but distance one is huge) and the yt1300s are generally far to slow to be effective escorts for your vcxs.

so how about this: 2 vcx, 2 yt-2400, and 3 z-95.

Much better.

I can imagine this list slowly steamrolling everything ahead of it. Just squeeze Salvation in somehow, this list begs for it.

what do you think?

Something else to consider is a Fighter Coordination Teams on the 80. It would allow you to possibly double move objective tokens with the VCX strategic, and potentially allow you to switch back to the 1300s to save points. Just some thoughts! Switching the 2400s back to 1300s, and adding in FCT saves you three points and gives you escorts to protect your fragile Z-95s, not to mention the counter 1 of the 1300s.
