Making ISDs Great Again: Wave 6

By Democratus, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Going to give this a try, if for no other reason than it is relaxing to only have 3 things to worry about.

If I didn't care about bidding for 1st, I could change two of these into ISD 2. I'm also unsure about the Navigation objective.

Take 3 sets of leading shots and swap Vader for Motti or Jerjerrod or even Konstantine. LS gets you most of Vaders benefit and can even be used against squadrons. On top of this you get 9 hull or tight turns or Speed control.

I like Fleet ambush to prevent enemy out deploying you too badly with squadrons. Superior positions also stops you being out deployed even if you don't get that many rear shots. Solar corona does too without that risk and good old Dangerous Territory is a nice fallback with so many large base ships.

Good points with Leading Shots and the commander. Vader is fun and all, but so expensive.

Now just to decide between Jerjerrod's positioning and Motti's durability.

Think I'll go with Motti due to the lack of ECM.
