I just had a lot of fun with a Pelta Assult Ship. Worked as great carrier bait, with teeth if you dont look too close. My opponent just saw Pelta ringed with squadrons, and thought carrier. Cant imagine it will work that way every time, but it was surprisingly survivable too.

Modified Pelta-class Assault Ship (56 points)
- Phoenix Home ( 3 points)
- Flight Commander ( 3 points)
- Raymus Antilles ( 7 points)
- Fighter Coordination Team ( 3 points)
- Assault Concussion Missiles ( 7 points)
- All Fighters, Follow Me! ( 5 points)
= 84 total ship cost

But you have squadrons 1. 2 with Raymus, but the FCT only lets you move 1 guy. i don't understand....

Alright commanders.... here is my submission for this one. Try not to laugh out loud!

Got mine up:

Can I take combat Refit Interdictors? I saw someone mention talking about Interdictors and Peltas, but I think I have a different approach to the interdictor. Edit: It also uses Konstantine.

As someone who has a local player wandering around with Sato Nebs, I actually think that list would be pretty painful to deal with without deployment advantage. Those things are lethal, and with XI7s (have you considered XI7s) they really start laying in damage, even against Motti RBD ISDs.

I finished! It's not good....

I'm wondering about the definition of "tomorrow" you have in your head

Love the writeup and pictures.

I have a friend who uses 2 Nebs in his ackbar list with enhanced armament. It really is that good, and their maneuverability makes that double side arc more achievable than one would think. Really, their maneuver chart makes for an adaptive and flexible gunline. That double yaw at the end of speed three can set up some nasty flanking...

Not anymore.

somehow it made me vote for nobody. There was blank space and abutton that said "CHOOSE". I clicked it and it said I had voted.

Hmmmm...

That is odd. Apparently it is entirely possible to vote for nothing. Clicking "choose" should bring a drop down that lets you pick your vote, but clicking submit will vote for nothing at all.
