I’m just getting my feet truly wet in the depths of this game, so I’m testing all the mechanics with novice friends and I wish to go ahead and put up some full fleets Imps vs Rebs. I’m wanting a true cannon kinda game, looking to put Vader in his ISD paired with two VSDs and a few TIEs vs Acbar in his Home One, an MC 30, and some CR90s and Frigates and a few X-Wings. The game is to be fun and explore its depths over some beers, as we switch sides to get a feel for everything, especially commands and activations. We’re still basic newbies. Ideas on fun iconic fleet builds?

Thanks, and cheers!

I’d keep upgrades to a minimum- maybe one or two on each ship. Spend some time getting the feel for how the ships work with navigating, keeping arcs on target, etc. there is already plenty to keep track of, and overloading a new player with everything at once can be a bit overwhelming. They often forget things, or worse- lose interest and now you have lost a potential gaming buddy
