The goal is to keep screed safe while the black dice ships dump face up cards onto ships. Use the comms net Gozi to give the Arquittens the nav chart it needs, so it can concentrate fire for 5 red dice with screed to guarantee a point of damage.

The Arquitens-class Command Cruiser already comes with a defensive retrofit so you don't need/can't take Tua

Tua says she can't be placed on a medium or large ship with a defense retrofit. The Arquitens is a small ship. Also I figured outside of XI7s the extra redirection options would be as good or better than Brunson. Also I could then put Brunson on Demo.

Tua for reference

TUA + EWS is more expensice than Montferrat who gives the same effect.

Sure... not against fighters but most bombers can reach any hull zone on a small base Arquitens, avoiding an EWS arc.

I would also go for RBDs rather than APs. APs dont help with XI7s and the Arquitens isn't that heavy on shields anyway. Bank (or Coms-net over) a repair token turn one and the Aquitens can later move shields form the furthest arc to the damaged hullzone facing the enemy.

Wargamer's natural instinct is to always redirect to avoid hull damage. RBDs are great if you sometimes allow some damage to get through the shields by not redirecting. You still have a contain in case any are crits. Then over the turn break you clear 2-3 damage cards and still have the shields on adjacent arcs and your redirects are still fresh.

What the heck?! I never noticed that. I have always put her on a large ship (cymoon) for the defensive retrofit. My bad

I really ned to stop putting EWS when I want ECM.....

I was thinking AP and ECM. So that I could possibly get one use for 6 HP saved rather than three. Which makes the opportunity cost less.

With no Squadrons it looks a bit light on flak apart from the raiders, and these are built for anti-ship duties. Would you consider making one of them a Kallus Flechette build?

No and yes. My local meta is pretty devoid of all forms of star fighter at the moment. So Kallus and Flechettes would be a waste. Swapping the APTs for Ordinance Experts would be more consistent from both damage and flack. But unless I like the list enough to build a turniment ready verson I'm going to leave it.

But hey if you are inspired by this list and face squadrons 100% buff those raiders in the anti squadron role.

She's legal on a Cymoon, because the Cymoon has no defensive retrofit.

That's not what was in question, the legality of Tua on an Arquitens was.

Essentially what happened was I misunderstood Tua, Apparently you can put her on a small ship that already has a defensive retrofit. You can't if a medium or large ship already has one. I never noticed that or paid enough attention to that part of her text.
