Dual ISD critique

By Vardok, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

I am thinking of running this list at a casual tourney in couple weeks. Any help woud be greatly appreciated.


Author: vardok

Faction: Galactic Empire
Points: 389/400

Commander: Darth Vader

Assault Objective: Most Wanted
Defense Objective: Contested Outpost
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions

Imperial I-Class Star Destroyer (110 points)
- Avenger ( 5 points)
- Minister Tua ( 2 points)
- Boarding Troopers ( 3 points)
- Reinforced Blast Doors ( 5 points)
= 125 total ship cost

[ flagship ] Imperial Star Destroyer Cymoon 1 Refit (112 points)
- Darth Vader ( 36 points)
- X17 Turbolasers ( 6 points)
= 154 total ship cost

Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)
- Hondo Ohnaka ( 2 points)
- Comms Net ( 2 points)
= 27 total ship cost

1 "Howlrunner" ( 16 points)
1 Saber Squadron ( 12 points)
2 TIE Interceptor Squadrons ( 22 points)
1 Colonel Jendon ( 20 points)
1 Valen Rudor ( 13 points)

I like it, but why Vader with all those amazing squads? You could have Sloane and put Leading Shots on tje ISD1. With the extra points add in FC on the Cymoon and have more of a bid for first (or go up to ISD II)

In addition to the above, if you keep Vader, maybe consider ECM and Gunnery Teams on the Cymoon- and maybe Needa for fun, if you're proficient at range control. You got a great front arc and rerolls, shoot more and shoot for longer!

Gunnery teams and Strategic Adviser on the Cymoon. Eat into the XI7s and/or drop Jendon to a regular shuttle to free up the points.

Cymoon has no defensive retrofit slot, right? So ECM is sadly unavailable.

Move Tua to cymoon and get ecm if you want. I think the strat. Advisor and gt is a better point use, honestly. I run my avenger light.
