I didn't play enough games with one but I never heard about two quasar fleets.
The only reason I imagine right now would be to build around squadrons (8+) as your main source of damage without giving up too much activations as ISDs would do. But I didn't try any built yet.
Your thoughts?

Upgrade cards.
I've been toying with a BT avenger fleet that runs 1 quasar stacked to push squads and another that just has BTs on it, so Avenger isn't useless once it's creamed a ship with BTs.
I want another BT card, but have no use for the rest. Been meaning to just bite the bullet on finding a copy.
Anybody want a ton of alt art upgrade cards?

5/10 are uniques. 4 BT are 3 more I normally use. 4 DC are 2 more. 2 QBT? Great! but I need more reasons to spend 30€ on 1 upgrade card.

Especially since for basically the same price, you can get 2 in the hammerhead pack.
not really. i own two but i can't really imagine me fielding both in a list.

It uses the same tricky mechanic than OP so why not a raider-II?

And Hondo...
And BE...
And ER
There are always arguments for fringe lists but I can't see needing a second Quasar unless I get one on a really good discount.

Actually it's arguably harder because it needs to be close range lol but mainly because the quasar is a hair more survivable than a raider, and isn't crit dependent. It also looks more threatening on the field, and opponent may be willing to waste a medium range shot on this instead of a long range shot on
Avenger.
The longer you keep the ISD alive the better off you are.
Just a point comparison too:
Raider II (4 hull Brace/evade) 48 points
-OP 8 points
-Dcaps 3points
Total: 59
Quasar I (6 hull Brace/redirect) 54 points
-Boarding troopers 3 points
Total: 57

Interesting points comparison.
However I think I will keep my Demo. More expensive but the effect at the end will be the same with the enemy ship spending the tokens and it takes also a face up damage card and is an extra real threat on the table lol
How else can I run my 10 TIE Bomber and 2 Quasar II Ruthless Strategist list?

That's one thing on my to-try list. With one quasar. Curious about how quick that combo can deal with enemy squadron forces.

Don't forget 10 single black dice attacks add up.

+ 10 blue??

And with a single sentence I have just mentally committed to buying a second Quasar. lol

Yea I have thought of that too.
If you are playing 500 or 600 points list, two can be a good asset
I don’t understand the question.....
of course you need two of this great ship. Just buy and join us who has forseen the empires needs :-)
To repaint as a Dorito?
I did some list experimentation & ended up with a quasar to push fighters & a flotilla with expanded hangers & bomber command for the ship hitters.
Seemed more economical.

A friend of mine literally did.
Because it has more than one title? I get at least one for every title so in an epic battle I can field every titled ship at once.
