Imperial Raider and Corellian Corvette builds

What are some good options?

Edited by Mackaywarrior

Above, I've linked to several topics in this subforum where people asked questions very similar to yours. I'd suggest reading through them, picking out some ideas you like, making a build, and then posting it to get some feedback. One important caveat: rarely do huge ship builds stand alone. They work best when you have a fighter contingent in mind that compliments the abilities of the huge ship, or vice versa.

But here's one Raider build that I am particularly fond of:

Impetuous Dagger - 138 points

Raider-class Corvette (Fore) [60]
- Ionization Reactor (4)
- Quad Laser Cannons (6)

Raider-class Corvette (Aft) [78]
- Tactician (2)
- Rear Admiral Chiraneau (3)
- Engine Booster (3)
- Quad Laser Cannons (6)
- Quad Laser Cannons (6)
- Impetuous (3)
- Optimized Generators (5)

You can add teams to taste, but it gets expensive, and isn't entirely necessary. The idea is to rush into range 2 to unleash stress devastation on the opponent. You can do this with Engine Booster -> reveal straight 4 maneuver -> Rear Admiral Chiraneau. You can also use Chiraneau to run over enemy ships, which is nice. If they end up at range 1, you use Ionization Reactor so you can run over them next round. On further reflection, I might actually take the Instigator title, but the fore section is likely to go down, so you won't get to Recover any more. I've tried something like this once, and it was very effective.

This is exactly what the doctor ordered! Thanks!
