Hi guys!

I need help, i want to build a 500 points fleet with the empire but i don't have any idea... Consider that today i lost the fifth battle in a row! 😒

....my morale is very low....

I have:

-Interdictor

- 2 x Arquitens

- Victory

- ISD

- Gozanti

- Fighter Expansion

My friend usually deploy a Liberty, mc30, nebulon and CR.

1. Get yourself a Gladiator/Chimaera 🙂

2. Here's what I can do without those (or toys like Exrax, DCaps, BTs, TRCs, etc.)

Name: Untitled Fleet
Faction: Imperial
Commander: Moff Jerjerrod

Assault: Most Wanted
Defense: Hyperspace Assault (For the VSD)
Navigation: Salvage Run

Imperial II (120)
• Moff Jerjerrod (23)
• Intel Officer (7)
• Gunnery Team (7)
• Electronic Countermeasures (7)
• Leading Shots (4)
= 168 Points

Victory I (73)
• Ordnance Experts (4)
• Assault Concussion Missiles (7)
= 84 Points

Interdictor Suppression Refit (90)
• Grav Shift Reroute (2)
• Targeting Scrambler (5)
• Interdictor (3)
= 100 Points

Arquitens Light Cruiser (54)
• Dual Turbolaser Turrets (5)
= 59 Points

Arquitens Light Cruiser (54)
• Dual Turbolaser Turrets (5)
= 59 Points

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

Squadrons:
= 0 Points

Total Points: 495

1. I don't have those ships but i have, separately, the upgrades that belong to it!

2. Wow, i've never played without squadrons! How should i move the fleet? VIC, lane, echelon, row? Is the two arquitens better if they fight in pairs or on the sides of the SD?

Off Topic: are the rebels commander, title or unique squadrons often better than the empire?

1. Excellent! That changes things, I highly recommend Brunson on the Interdictor (she works after scrambling and can be refreshed with the title) and Strategic Adviser on the ISD to hit seven activations.

2. That’s pretty situational, really. Don’t be too timid against bombers. Put the VSD and Interdictor somewhere they can’t be avoided or made irrelevant, but don’t strand them in the middle of a fight unsupported. Either approach for the Arquitens can work; I like them together but I’ve also seen a “horns of the bull” strategy work well.

Both sides are pretty even in those areas. Rebels have Defiance, Jaina’s Light, Admonition, Profundity. Imps have Avenger, Squall, Interdictor and the dreaded Demolisher. Imperial commanders are generally cheaper (some, like Vader, save points in the upgrades you don’t need to include.) Really any large scale generality can have holes poked in it pretty quickly when it comes to faction differences. Imperial 2 ship’s aces have put Rieekan’s bombers in the shade, but that’s really due to Pryce rather than the specific squadrons.

So...now your Rebel friend has Imperial ships without upgrades? 🤨 I think I'm missing a piece of the puzzle.

Ah, for display? I think I understand now. 😃

In practice he lent me his imperial upgrades since he only plays as a rebel, if one day he wants to play again imperial i will give them back to him! For the moment we agree in this way.

If he lets you use his cards, ask him if you can borrow the ship. Not going to lie, two ISDs+ quasar and squads will be brutal. Basically two ship extended edition

But isn't it better for me to have more ships playing for second?
