Hypothetical Dreadnought build...ideas? (MAY INCLUDE SPOILERS)

By ImperialCaptain2017, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

So I used ikediger's Mandator-IV design from KDYards to build a 400pt fleet- maybe not realistic? Maybe it would need more points? Interested to see your thoughts.

Mandator-IV Siege Dreadnought 275 (http://kdyards.com/ships.view.php?id=4521 and http://kdyards.com/ships.view.php?id=4520)

Grand Admiral Thrawn 32

Heavy Auto-Cannons 20 (http://kdyards.com/upgrades.view.php?id=4522)
Gunnery Teams 7
Reinforced Blast Doors 5
Leading Shots 4
Agent Kallus 3

Ship Total: 346

+6 TIE Fighters 48

Fleet total: 394

So the ship with the autocannon upgrade can sit all the way across the map and as long as the ships are in its front arcs and it has CF dials it can just send 6black dice at the ship? Yeah totally fair and balanced....

Yes I did think that was a bit too cool to be true...

Maybe make it that when you exhaust it, it takes an extra turn to reload like the ones in TLJ, so you can only fire every other round, and you can't use critical effects.

Honestly, though, flotillas would be immune to the Autocannons because of the scatter, so it's not completely OP.

Though if you wanted it to be movie accurate, it was would need to be 6 black dice and automatic double accuracy. Because it didn't miss a Transport. Not even once.

Yup. Scatter is immune, brace is extremelly resilient, evade is powerful.

Its not that strong. 5 black 1 blue would be scary.

Honestly, I want to try this now. It seems like it's not that OP, and might really make for an interesting game. Does anyone know how to make something like the Dreadnought for Vassal?

Just use a large base ship for the front. Click and drag the rear section seperately.

Maybe for you guys its not OP, but the way black dice are over here, you might as well just have the text say

"roll 6 black die. Change every one to a hit/crit"

Yes but even then it is a 'huge ship' only upgrade. Thats the only thing he can fit in the list.

Easy peasy.
