MC80 Objective Fleet

By Tiberius the Killer, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Still experimenting with the MC80. I don't like using 4 flotillas, but I couldn't get 5 activations and solid fighters otherwise. And maybe I don't need 5 activations, but it seems pretty nice to have. I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts!

I think a fleet similar to this won at GenCon. Its a solid set up! Essentially the Rebel version of the imperial fleet I fly and it can be really effective when you can leverage your 2 big threats and only surrender flotilla points in exchange.

I'd actually swap out Salvage Run for Sensor Net due to the objective tokens being easier to manipulate with your setup. I believe that Salvage Run would require you to expose the VCXs to a greater risk compared to Sensor Net. Moreover, I believe that you can potentially score more points on Sensor Net than Salvage Run.
