Top 5 favorite ships and top 5 squads.

By schmidty1701, in Star Wars: Armada

Although I've already done this, I didn't include any thing Imperial, so I'm making an Imperial List.

1. Arquitens. This ship is reasonably tough, and allows me to use gunline tactics, which I frequently use when I play the Rebels. It's also the Empire only ship that has an Evade and a Turbolaser upgrade, making the only TRC platform for the Empire (aside from Needa on a VSD or ISD)

2. VSD. With the arrival of DCaps, and combined with Jerry, this ship has risen from the dead. This thing loved QBT and so do I.

3. Quasar. I love using Carrier ships, as activating squadrons before the Squadron Phase is vital to success. It also had a Red anti-Squadon. Doesn't get much cooler than that.

4.Raider. Fast, and packs a punch. External Racks breathed life into this ship, and the Titles allow you to take more ships and not have to have such a large fighter screen.

5. ISD. Yeah, a lot of you are probably wondering why it's #5. I like it. The model always intimidates me when it's on the table, but it's almost never my first choice of ship. I perfer using Small and Medium ships.

1.Valen Rudor. This guy is absolutely awsome.

2. Ciena Ree. She pairs great with #1.

3. Morna Kee. The Decimators are so cool, and she just gets better by losing Heavy and getting a built in reroll.

4. Marrek Stele. The Defender is one of my favorite TIEs and Marrek has a great ability.

5. Colonel Jendon. Aside from Relay, his pilot ability works great with squadrons that have a lot of attack power.

1. MC80L - It just has a special place in my heart because if the Xwing series. Its the first real capital ship you get assigned to...in Armada it could be a bit better, but hey were rebels we make it work. Sorta.

2. ISD II - Nothing projects power like the latest and greatest the Imperial Navy has to offer. Hard to take down and just obliterates anything in two rounds or less.

3. MC30c - This one time, at a tourney I lasted/firsted two Hammerheads out of space by flying right between them. Toss on Admo and IMO youve got the best rebel ship currently in game.

4. AFKMk2 - it finds itself in many of my fleet builds despite its fragile nature and my less-than effective use of it. It just fits.

5. Quasar - everything I want in a dedicated rebel carrier.

Squads:

1. Dash. He really grew on me, I didnt like him at first but once I figured him out he just eats squads.

2. Generic Lambda - Relay 2 AND strategic?? Yes please. Two in every Imperial list.

3. Jan Ors - keeping my generics alive since Dark Forces.

4/5. Tycho and TIE/d. Love playing them. Theyre a holes to deal with. That much love and hate makes this list for a tie.

Ships

1) ISD-I (Best Damage output in game with its black dice, and can push squadrons)

2) ARQUITENS LIGHT CRUISER (Best ship in the game for its price is basically a cheaper AF for Imps)

3) MC-30 (Ordnance and turbolaser slot great titles best and funnest rebel scum ship to play)

4) Gladiator ( in all honesty this should be demo, GSD-I or II it will always have a place in my heart)

5) Quasar II ( Red flack Ruthless strategy and Flight controllers with Tie bombers is fun and pretty good too)

Squandrons

1) MAAREK STEELE (dose whatever you need air superiority hes got you, bombing run your covered also he never misses)

2) COLONEL JENDON (Maarek Steele the second and relay need I say more?)

3) CAPTAIN JONUS (Every ships best friend my GSD-II demo loves this guy!)

4) VALEN RUDOR (I like to smile like this guy as he hides behind some tie bombers)

5) GAMMA SQUADRON (Bomber not heavy and grit just a good squadron to tie up squadrons and bomb too)

I'm a bit Imperial bias.

Fun exercise. And great to see the Vic getting a revival with Disc Caps! Gonna try my list with a few combos too:

Ships

1) ISD2 w Gunnery Teams, RBDs/ECMs. The Anvil of an Imperial fleet. Hits like a truck, can take a serious pounding. And it’s the ship that got me into the game!

2) Gladiator w Demo, OE, APTs, Engine Techs. The Hammer of the fleet. Flat out the best 83pts of offensive firepower the Empire can put on the table.

3) Gozanti/GR75 w nothing. Workhorse of pushing around fighters and being a pain to kill. Keep it cheap!

4) CR90A w TRCs. Turns one of the most mobile ships in the game into a great offensive platform. Take in pairs for extra damage through defense token overload!

5) MC30 w Admonition, OE, H9 turbolasers, APTs. Hits like a ton of bricks, very difficult to kill. Big spikes of damage with guaranteed accuracy.

Squadrons

1) Maarek Stele and Jendon. What’s better than one Maarek Stele? Two of them!

2) Valen Rudor and Ciena Ree. 30pts that hits hard and is a complete pain to kill.

3) Jan and X-wings incl. Biggs. These guys can soak a big alpha strike and punch right back.

4) Lambdas/VCXs and anything non-rogue. Strategic is great, and Relay is game breakingly good in the right fleet.

5) Mauler Mithel and Jumpmaster. When one splash damage just isn’t enough!

Just saw this one and loving some of the reasons.

Okay have a confession. The first film I ever watch was......Empire Strikes Back. My cousin convinced me you didn't need to watch Hope to know what was going on for the most part.

So with that in mind my 5 fav ships are:

1: Super Star Destroyer. I love this ship. You just feel powerful putting it on the table and each time I have used it even people not interested in playing Armada are massivly impressed with the scale and scope of the ship. My only gripe is the paint job...which I am going to have to short (blue engines!)

2:MC30. I was introduced to this ship in the game "Empire at War". Twas my fav ship then and FFG did not disappoint with this particular ship. Ship, firepower and sheer ballseyness of this ship is just cool.

3: Arquitens. Saw this in rebals. Saw this on YouTube cz of Crabbok. Tried it a few times....loves them. A proper broadside ship for imperials and often underestimated....as you can never buy the **** things.

4:MC80 Liberty Class. A proper warship that can go toe to toe with and ISD and it can go either way. Looks cool aswell.

5 ISD. ISD got me into this game. Looks awsome, it is Star wars. Even my wife, who is not into Wargaming knows what an ISD is. Just slightly lower as most Imperial player....all imperial Players ....will have this in their list haha.

Squadrons

1: Marek Steele. Love Thrawn and love the defender program. So the namesld Tie defender was always going to get in for me. Plus he is a beast on the table.

2: Tie defender: for the above reasons really. Awsome fast ship that hit like a hammer.

3: Luke Skywalker. Okay so only used him once BUT had him used against me several times and every time he makes his points back and then some. Screw shields

4: Gold Squadron: Love the Ywings, love they were kinda in Clone Wars. And they are almost as iconic as the X wing in my opinion.

5: A wings. Love these little guys. Counter, speed 5, the smallest rebel fighter took out the largest Imperial ship. Yeah these guys were always going to get in this list.

Well this are mine.
