Greetings everyone.

I was wondering if anyone has actually used the Phoenix Home title on the Pelta at all? Personally I can't really see a use for it, it means you can take 2 more command tokens (which is cool) and assign another officer, however while I could see some cool combos (Adar Tallon & Toryn Farr for example) the problem is that it makes the ship even more of a target and a point sink.

To be honest I was pretty disappointed that this was the only title in the Pelta expansion, I quite like the Pelta as a command ship, I just wish there was a better title.

I ran a Phoenix Home with Hondo and Veteran captain to feed it tokens and fuel it's fleet command while letting it be command independent. Being able to token nav/squad/repair round 1 for the effect round 2, vet captain the token for rd 3 when it activates round 2, then Hondo the token for round 4 in round 3, and discard the card in round 5 mean I can cover all but the first and last turns with the fleet command effect without ever having to dial in the required command after the first turn. That let's my ship nav, squadron, or whatever else I need it to do to function, while still giving me a big effect. The title and the 2 officers add up to a whole 8pts, so it keeps the ship cheap while giving it incredible reach for it's effect.

That's... better than I had. I ran Phoenix Home/Ahsoka/Raymus in a Commander Leia (proxied) fleet. It was overkill and 12 points.

Honestly I'd say any officer under 3 points is a solid bet for Phoenix Home. It's when someone thinks they are being cute by putting Adar and Raymus on there and then it get's one shotted by an ISD that things get messy.

If it is your flag ship, then someone like Lando isn't a bad idea either and Veteran Captain is just solid with the ship's special ability.

I had some success with this list:

The Scout frigate roasted most of a Liberty before it even got close to the Pelta, while the other frigate pummeled Yavaris and something else...The Pelta was able to survive some salvation shots and some B-Wings pestering it. Shields to the maximum plus a token when needed with Ahsoka and the comms net flotilla were also really useful.

Thanks for the replies, it's always interesting to see how other people use these cards. There is some stuff here that I think I'll give a try; I really like the idea of the Hondo/Vet Captain combo to give you two turns of Shields to Max, or whatever is equipped.

There is also the option to add Lando/Phoenix Home for 7 to add some survivability.
