I have experimented lately with a fleet that actually makes good use of the chair swapping ability of the Profundity:

Let's Switch Chairs! (379/400)
====================
MC75 Ordnance Cruiser (100 + 59)
+ Admiral Raddus (26)
+ Major Derlin (7)
+ Ordnance Experts (4)
+ Early Warning System (7)
+ External Racks (3)
+ Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
+ Profundity (7)
MC75 Ordnance Cruiser (100 + 23)
+ Skilled First Officer (1)
+ Ordnance Experts (4)
+ Electronic Countermeasures (7)
+ Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
+ External Racks (3)
+ Aspiration (3)
CR90 Corvette A (44 + 10)
+ Medical Team (1)
+ Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7)
+ Jaina's Light (2)
GR-75 Medium Transports (18 + 3)
+ Comms Net (2)
+ Quantum Storm (1)
2 x A-wing Squadron (2 x 11)
Most Wanted
Solar Corona
Jamming Barrier

This fleet ardently needs to go first. Jaina goes into Profundity and Aspiration goes into Raddus. The basic idea is to increase Raddus threat range to insanity levels by first dropping Jaina, then using the increased drop range of Jaina to drop Aspiration. Raddus and Derlin switch chairs to Jaina. Now, Jaina activates first and flies away to safety. If my opponent activates now his big hitter in order to avoid the Aspiration double arc, he has to go into close range of profundity.

I have played this fleet twice on Vassal. Both times a win. The second time against @BrobaFett 's new worlds fleet (I won't tell you what it is ). However, I am pretty sure I won't win a second time against him with this fleet. And this fleet is in essence a casual one trick pony. BUT it is fun to see this trick going off the ground!

Nice list.

Whihc reminds me I forgot to even mention this tactic: it was the first use of Profundity/Raddus I even encountered, but I haven't seen it used much of late.

This list has even a further advantage: I can justify that I have bought two profundities and don't feel to be tricked by FFG into buying two expansions merely because of the stupid upgrade card distribution of wave 7

Apologies if this has already been brought up but if you could add an email subscription to your blog that would be swell.

Sure. I've added a e-mail sub widget to the sidebar.

While the rest of the Armada community talks about Legion, I actually play some Armada: https://armadaihaveyounow.blogspot.no/2018/04/monster-truck-mania-part-5-r2-battle.html

Some musings around wave 8 and the coming FAQ: https://armadaihaveyounow.blogspot.no/2018/04/wave-8-is-coming-hear-faq-roar.html

First in a series about customizing the CC: https://armadaihaveyounow.blogspot.no/2018/04/corellian-conflict-customizing.html

Tomorrow I will post the Thrawn article, which is the final Upgrade article for wave 7. I'll then start adding older stuff, in whatever order pleases me.

I don't think your wave 8 blog post was opinionated enough. When I read 'I Have You Now' I expect to read opinionated Armada talk.

I will do better with wave 9. Let alone 10!

@Green Knight I just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying your blog. I've finally had some free time to catch up on it. I love reading about different ideas for fleets and synergies between different ships & upgrades that I hadn't thought about yet. Nice job!

A blog post about the FAQ.

I was thinking about the Neb-B and Support Teams, so I wrote about Medical Team and why it doesn't see much table time: https://armadaihaveyounow.blogspot.no/2018/04/wave-4-upgrades-medical-team.html

The Interdictor has 2 contains though. Medical teams seem even less useful on those.

Works vs APT even if you didn't waste the Officer slot on the DCO. But yeah, so marginal.

Too harsh?

But if I take a Dictor, Brunson seems so much better than DCO, esp with scramblers.

Same as DCO on the MC75 - Lando seems a better option, even with 2 contain.

Agreed, Brunson is the primary choice, unless you somehow know you are facing a crit fleet.

DCO might edge it out on the Combat Refit where you don’t have Grav Shift Reroute to help get the obstacles in a good place.

And if you are running multiples, you can only have one Brunson.

@Green Knight what is your opinion on Heavy Turbolaser Turrets?

If someone has an upgrade, objective, ship or squadron they want reviewed, just ask about it here.

I'm on a mad quest to make assault frigates work without Ackbar. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the ship!

A task too easy for a green knight. Let us also say without Gallant Haven!
