I've never played CRIS or Salvage Run. I occasionally see them in other people's fleets, but there's always a good reason not to play them. So I made a fleet specifically to try and force people to pick one of them so I can try them.

Vader's Raiders v0.1b (391/400)

Raider II-class Corvette (48 + 39)

+ Disposable Capacitors (3)
Raider II-class Corvette (48 + 3)

Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 + 2)
+ Comms Net (2)
Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 + 2)
+ Jamming Field (2)
"Whisper" (20)
Colonel Jendon (20)
Captain Jonus (16)
Zertik Strom (15)
2 x Lambda-class Shuttle (15)

Close-Range Intel Scan
Fire Lanes
Salvage Run

It started as a 3-4 Vader Kittens list before I remembered that Kittens are crap and why would I take crap when I could instead take DC Raiders? Jonus for CRIS accs; Lambdas to make sure nobody picks Fire Lanes and to yoink Salvage Run tokens; JF to keep my dudes alive a little longer; Jendon and Whisper for some hare-brained shenanigans I have in mind that involves bouncing all around the board attacking squadrons with counter.

I'm putting this on the table (maybe with some squadron changes) tonight in 3 or 4 hours. Tell me before I go all about how I'm going to lose.

I wish those Raiders were sporting ICBs for extra damage output, but otherwise it looks amusing.

Yeah. They were in one iteration, until I remembered that ICB only comes in the VSD, of which I have one. I could proxy em, but... eh.

Drop the CN Gozanti for them, you think?

Probably. You do need a bit more damage output. Or just bring the one you have and eat into your bid a little bit.

I really do, but pretty much only for Salvage Run.

Alternatively, I could just punt and go for Sensor Net instead and never plan to kill anything. Would at least ensure that CRIS gets picked.
