Hi guys!

Looking for your thoughts on Kuat refit, equiped with LS, OE, FT, (Mr. Kallus, QBT). Id fly her with Jerry, dual arcing, could produce quite consistant dmg with the rerolls, and against generic squads 3 rolls to fish for a crit to trigger flechette, while being deadly against aces.

It sounds like a pretty good flak platform, but I think the cost may outweigh the the benefit LS brings to the table against uniques.

I'd bring LS on almost any ISD, if there is more than 1 blank/too much ACC, you just reroll them.

It is actually a good build. I initially got the impression that a majority of points were invested in anti-squadron, but of course OE and LS can be used to great effect against ships, and only Kallus is specifically anti-squadron (I mistook QBT for the counter-1 card Q L T).

So yeah, a good anti-ship build that also doesn't mind firing at squads. Seems good, though maybe Gunnery Teams would also be a good addition? Or do you intend to take Advanced Gunnery?

I meant the counter 1 one, it has no turbolaser slot. Q1 with Kallus and LS is a thing in my opinion. Your opponent will think twice to go near this ship.

This is a real overkill. Why Screed? He doesn't affect flak.

I would be tempted to do Avenger/Kallus/OE/RBD/QLT/LS/External Racks (or replace OE with Gunnery Teams, I'm still split on that). It should have enough hull to tank some squadrons, enough flak to damage them and enough threat against ships as well (1 red and 4 blacks from a side arc with two rerolls is a lot of damage).

As a side note - I ran a squadronless fleet with ISD2/Avenger/Kallus/QLT/LS at Nationals and destroyed two midsized squadron wings with it.

Screed works whenever a friendly ship is attacking, so he'd affect the flachette torpedoes.

Ah, true. My bad - I mixed him with Vader. Still an overkill

Only one shot a turn, though, so if you really feel the need to burn that on a single fighter squadron...uhhhh....

Against squadrons, there is no such thing as overkill

I want to see this build, since I've been looking for an effective squadronless fleet for a while...can you post a link?

Are the old ISD titles allowed on the new ISDs and the new titles on the old ISDs?

Yes. Avenger shooting at aces twice with AG is just HILARIOUS!

Also if you have Screed, you can take advantage of the double crit of the Ion Cannons and the Ordinance. Ion Cannon Batteries + ACM = fun times.

Would require Fire-Control Team...
