On their front arc only. And only if you also invested in another expensive Star Destroyer that you keep at distance 4.

Also only if the enemy chooses to split fire between the two star destroyers rather than concentrate one down (meaning only 1 metric Derlin).

54 points is not expensive.

So you're running 2 Gladiators in addition to your other Star Destroyer?

Victory-Class Star Destroyers are best flown in formation.

Vics are going to benefit the most from this, assuming they can keep their front arcs pointed at the target.

Now? Maybe.

Not that hard with Jerry... Otherwise good luck.

Locking down te brace would be useless. You meant redirect maybe?

I was referencing the suggestion of them having 4 blue battery and bomber, where there would be 3 damage with an acc as an actual big chance for each so locking brace down would be more hurtful I think

I've been running two or three Glads since they came out.

Wait, we're measuring things by Derlins now? So would a Hammerhead be 6 metric Derlins?

Imperial Derlins, not metric.

I'm looking forward to using Taskmaster Grint. Two uses spring to mind:

1. As an extra version of Expanded Hangar on carriers such as Quasars, ISD-1s and maybe even Gozanti-Vector. A Quasar-1 with Boosted Comms, Flight Controllers, Expanded Hangar Bay & Grint costs 74 points.
2. On-board the Interdoctor. Bank a Nav token turn 1 then repair the rest of the game for 40 repair points. Interdictor Supression, Interdictor, Targeting Scrambler, Grav Shift, Projection experts, Grint costs 114 points.

7th fleet title seems a bit expensive paying say 15 points in a fleet to occasionally save you 1 point of damage. Veteran captains all round could do that with repair tokens.

Gauntlets are pricy, but compare them to a Firespray and they don't look too bad. 2 more points for an extra hull and point of speed. Bomber rule is swapped out for the Assault rule to give raid tokens.

How many Derlins is Gallant Haven?

The question, of course, is the conversion factor between Imperial Derlins (i.e. 7th Fleet Star Destroyer title) and metric Derlins (the run-of-the-mill Rebel unit).

We at the Imperial Institute of Standards and Technology (IIST) are already working on the proper definition of the unit of damage mitigation.

The big thing that differentiates an Imperial Derlin from a Metric Derlin is that their unit by itself is less, although you require more of it in order to actually have it...

A triple VSD fleet would love the 7th fleet card. They roll slowly forward, eat the damage and annihilate everything.

7th fleet :
It's not easy, bordering on impossible, to always have your front shield attacked, especially vs a competent opponent. A lot of conditionals on this card, and one that almost always is for top-tier titles:

• Demolisher
• Avenger

Don't see it being used much in competitive play.

Problem comes when the enemy focuses their fire at a single VSD in the triple-Vic fleet at a time. Then you are paying 15 points for one Metric Derlin per turn.

Getting out of the front arc of a VSD isn't too difficult, either.

I feel like this title should have been 3 points.

1xY metric Derlins where Y is the number of anti squadron attacks. Probably 4-5 metric Derlins a turn. Ciena Ree, in contrast is only 1xY Imperial Derlins.

Stronghold is also 1xY of Imperial Derlins but with limitations and a larger aoD(area of Derlin) than Ciena

Edit: at this point we are talking concentration of Derlins. Ciena and Derlin are only 1mol/Derlin, while 7th fleet, GH and Stronghold are xmol/Derlin where x is the amount of ships/squads affected

You exhaust a copy of the card on ANOTHER ship than the one being attacked.

Considering the title opportunity cost, the front arc restriction, and the fact that taking two ISD's is already very expensive, the card should have been zero or one point...

This card and Mon cal exodus strike me more as something you would add to your correllian campaign fleet to give it flavor, again recognizing that in doing so you are forgoing better upgrades and titles purely for flavoring. AND THAT'S OK. Just don't throw a tantrum when this card doesn't do anything, because that is going to happen a lot. ?

Just realized with taskmaster and engineering teams the interdictor will have 8 engineering points a turn. Throw Thrawn in the mix to give you other commands or commas net flots and that is a tanky SOB

I'm always torn between shield projectors and engineering teams. Do you protect yourself or lend a hand to the team?

Either way you're a 'dic.

If it's the flag, protect yourself. If it isn't the flag, lend a hand (to the flag).

9 engineering points, actually. 5+3(round up!)+1 = 9.
