Im reposting this entire build even though not much is changing. I think this little issue (vs Raddus) will be a huge consideration If I want to do this idea at a tourney like NOVA coming up.

I appreciate the input on the last thread...it devolved a bit but the tips were useful and Ive filed them.

1.Considering Tycho assuming dogfights consistantly ensue that lock me down.

2. ATP is a little too $$ for me and I figure WAB will help me with problem 1 for now.

Now my bright idea....

Rogue Sato (400/400)
===================
MC75 Ordnance Cruiser (100 + 53)
+ Commander Sato (32)
+ Damage Control Officer (5)
+ Ordnance Experts (4)
+ Electronic Countermeasures (7)
+ Wide-Area Barrage (2)
+ External Racks (3)
Nebulon-B Support Refit (51 + 8)
+ Skilled First Officer (1)
+ Salvation (7)
GR-75 Combat Retrofits (24 + 9)
+ General Draven (3)
+ Phylon Q7 Tractor Beams (6)
GR-75 Medium Transports (18 + 9)
+ Toryn Farr (7)
+ Bright Hope (2)
Han Solo (26)
Dash Rendar (24)
4 x YT-2400 (4 x 16)
Rogue Squadron (14)
Most Wanted
Contested Outpost
Superior Positions

So, I dropped Corran and replaced him with another 2400. Better bombing, still fast and hard hitting.

Reason is for the tractors on the GR. With all the Quantum Storms out and about dropping off big guns c/o Raddus, I figure that cramps thier style a bit.

Now, again...assuming plenty of Raddus bomb at tournement, would it be wise to, say...Drop Rogue Squadron and add another Tractor and a slicer to Torynn's GR? Something like that could totally neuter a Quantum Storm raddus drop and leave that GR to get pirahna'd by the Rogues. Would something like that ruin Raddus' day assuming starting on the board with a GR and another small base Nebulon, Vette, or Hammerhead?

Thoughts please.

.....essentially, it would look like this.

Rogue Sato (399/400)

Nebulon-B Support Refit (51 + 8)
+ Skilled First Officer (1)
+ Salvation (7)
GR-75 Combat Retrofits (24 + 16)
+ General Draven (3)
+ Slicer Tools (7)
+ Phylon Q7 Tractor Beams (6)
GR-75 Medium Transports (18 + 15)

....either a 1 pt bid or add my own Quantum Storm.

....even another idea would be scrap the Slicer if its of limited use to slow small ships....and add a THIRD tractor to my own '75.

2 ships to be tabled and one of them being a neb B makes me a touch scared of your list

Bail on mc75, ditch combat and neb to get wab admo, downgrade aces to either yt2400 or lancers to get more rogues, and yes it would behoove you to get Tyco in there to guarantee Sato, but not necessary with 8 rogues. id probably try a few matches with this and go from there.

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 398/400

Commander: Commander Sato

Assault Objective: Precision Strike
Defense Objective: Fighter Ambush
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions

[ flagship ] MC75 Ordnance Cruiser (100 points)
- Commander Sato ( 32 points)
- Bail Organa ( 7 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- External Racks ( 3 points)
- Wide-Area Barrage ( 2 points)
= 149 total ship cost

MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63 points)
- Admonition ( 8 points)
- Lando Calrissian ( 4 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Wide-Area Barrage ( 2 points)
= 81 total ship cost

GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)
- Bright Hope ( 2 points)
- Toryn Farr ( 7 points)
- Bomber Command Center ( 8 points)
= 35 total ship cost

1 Rogue Squadron ( 14 points)
1 Ketsu Onyo ( 22 points)
1 Hera Syndulla ( 28 points)
1 Nym ( 21 points)
2 Lancer-class Pursuit Crafts ( 30 points)
1 Jan Ors ( 19 points)

My 2 cents... drop rogue for an x wing. Gives Jan her escort. She can always move to free up bombers during the squad phase in needed. That gives a point for bid, or upgrading a lancer to Tycho who can repo for Sato goodness.

been doing pretty solidly with this...

===================

you flown against Sloane? cause I'm pretty sure yousa gonna die

Sato without intel equals a dead fleet. It is too easi to TIE down your squads.

Tie Heavy Sloane has died twice.

Bat reps would be great!

Have you found Wide Area Barrage to be very useful? If so some examples of use or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't been able to get much benefit out of it and always keep subbing it out for APT or ACM. I really want it to work though!
