Terrible commander, you cant win anything with Konstantine.

Psst.

You have Base Defense: Ion cannon pictured twice, instead of Fighter Wing first off.

Thanks!

Good article on the CC base defense objectives! If I may add two points to the Base Defense: Armed Station that can greatly improve it's utility:

1. Grav Shift Reroute.

Interdictors with Grav Shift Reroute are great for Show of Force but they are also good on defense, specifically Base Defense: Armed Station. You can set up the armed station in the center of the board and then move it as needed, thereby making a portion of your opponent's deployment zone undesirable and their deployment perhaps more predictable.

2. Repairing Ships and Squadrons

The first player's ships/squadrons can't be repaired by the armed station, but the second player's ships/squadrons can. Combined with the Grav Shift Reroute, this can give the second player a powerful advantage if they can dictate where the battle takes place.
