so id like some help on a list using the home one variant mc80. I like the ship and id like it to be the center piece for the fleet. I was thinking of the assault variant but again im open to suggestions

also, I want at least 6 squadrons in the list. it just doesn't feel right if I don't have at least 6 squadrons

What ships do you have?

Try this

im pretty sure everything? 3 neb b's, 3 corvettes, 2 torp frigates, 2 assault frigates, 1 home one, 2 star cruisers, 2 gr 75's, a pelta, and 4 hammerheads a SHITLOAD of x wings, 4 of every other squadron from the kits ( im one star cruiser, 2 torp frigates, 3 corvettes, 2 gr 75 transports and 1 hammerhead box away from my grand fleet)

@ kiwi, I like it. im just confused on the ion cannon loadout there. why not the sw-7 ion cannons to guarantee 4 damage, which is a star destroyers full shield value gone if not mitigated

@Dr alex

Leading shots is better as it allows you to re-roll, dice, it helps get that Accuracy you need, and in case you have multible blank red dice

so, whom is giving the squadron orders in this case

so is the mc80 there to simply be comparable to an ISD in shooting, nothing more? its looking like my orders are coming from the gr 75's and then the mc80 just ***** out 9 shots after concentrate fire

That's the beauty, Keep the the sqds near one of the GR75, it can activate it in ship phase.

Hera and Rogue Sqd are Rogue, and Hera can make two of the non- Rogue Sqds Rogue. And since eventually at least one or two of them gets tied down by being engaged, they wont need to be Rogued around by Hera.

In other words Your sqds are more autonomous wwith Hera.

The MC80 is as tanky as possible, without being to expensive.

Navigate spam the CR90 so they always are in position to support the MC80 with long rang fire.

well technically wouldn't the assault variant be better? that 2nd slot gets you advanced projectors, which is quite nifty against anything not an ISD

Use raddus to drop defiance into an absolutely ugly position and start double tapping somebody. Drop Admonition and a flotilla for more squads if needed.

Home One and TR90s creates a constant and gross amount of damage to any non-ECM target. Pops flotillas easily too.

I like the last one

I've been enjoying playing the list below.

I thought Home One was a command refit.

Well for Command take advantage of the squadron value.

For the Assault well it is a broadside ship but also slow as a Vic. So maybe a center piece of a conga line of shrimps.

so hey, does concentrate fire count towards anti squadron shooting from ships

Yes and no.

When you concentrate fire and choose to keep the dial, you may add a die to any ONE attack pool of a color it already used. So if attacking three squads out of one arc with an AS of Blue/black you could roll against the first one, deal damage, roll against the second, add a die of either blue or black, deal damage, then roll against the third with your usual two. You do get to choose on each roll, but you can only pick one, and of course you can't go back and add it to a previous resolution. Reason for this is concentrate fire always affects only ONE attack roll pool. And Anti-squad fire only lets you attack each squad in arc/range only once, but each is a seperate attack. Good question though.

Its a compromise, on a 400pts budget and the Assualt variant cost just those 6pts to much, when you consider that the other ships and SQD minimum requirements that needs to be sqeezed into the list.

Just won my first (small-scale) tournament with this lot - a fleet entirely built around the Home One / Quad Turbolaser Cannon synergy, and the glory of two guaranteed accuracies from a Liberty with spinal armaments. Second game was particularly brutal - Endeavor one-shotted four Gladiators in four successive (unanswered) shots thanks to last-firsting.

In my Nationals list I run it as a carrier.

• MC80C, ECM, FCTs, Tallon, Boosted Comms, Rieekan.

I use it as a B-wing shunter and to control the non B-wing squadrons while Yavaris hopefully double taps with the B-wings. 2 GR75s complete the list for activations, rerolls from a BCC and as a reserve carrier in case of post zombie ship death. If I had points I would add Defiance and QBTs to the mix but I prefer a stronger squadron compliment.
