Still fairly new to Armada and playing casual at the moment, but I wanted to take a stab at using Vader on an Interdictor.

Most of reasoning behind this list is due to the lack of variety of ships, but I was thinking maybe a Raider II for some more anti-squadron utility Instead of the naked Arquiten?

Name: Vader Interdictor Fleet
Faction: Imperial
Commander: Darth Vader

Assault: Most Wanted
Defense: Contested Outpost
Navigation: Intel Sweep

Interdictor Suppression Refit (90)
• Darth Vader (36)
• Disposable Capacitors (3)
• Targeting Scrambler (5)
• Grav Shift Reroute (2)
• SW-7 Ion Batteries (5)
= 141 Points

Imperial II (120)
• Gunnery Team (7)
• Quad Battery Turrets (5)
= 132 Points

Arquitens Light Cruiser (54)
= 54 Points

Gozanti Cruisers (23)
• Comms Net (2)
= 25 Points

Squadrons:
• 6 x TIE Fighter Squadron (48)
= 48 Points

Total Points: 400

Ion canon batteries better than sw7 I think.

Fitting ECMs (or EWS) on the ISD-II is going to make a difference. Dropping SW7s and Comms Net seems like the easiest way. Good luck, I like the look of this build! ?

The naked arq is quite effective with vader. I really like the interdictor (its the staple of my current fleet) but I feel targeting scrambler is overated, g8 experimental projector is really good for keeping the opponent in arc of ships.

I really want to put G8's in they're just so expensive. How do you rate G7s?

I can fit a fair amount more in if I go Cymoon instead of ISD II

ISD Cymoon 1 Refit (112)
• Minister Tua (2)
• Gunnery Team (7)
• Quad Battery Turrets (5)
• Electronic Countermeasures (7)
= 133 Points

Arquitens Light Cruiser (54)
= 54 Points

Gozanti Cruisers (23)

Depending on who you do that to it could be great right?

Like keep the MC30s at long range or the CR90/Assault Frigate at close?

an MC30 at speed 3 instead of 4 is still gonna be at black range...

Oh d**n it. I read it like Tractor Beams, and thought it was reduced to speed 1.

yeah it's really not worth the 8 points. FFG greatly overestimated the value of "speed control"

I suppose it might be worth it if you went all in with Konstantine and the Interdictor title.

Either way I can still fit a fair amount more on if I change ISD II to Cymoon. Might not be worth losing a dice and a squadron command.
