Fun With Agate

By Admiral Theia, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

So, she can really beef up a big ship, but what about a smaller ship?

MC-30: Agate (for brace), Foresight, Lando, and ECM for a punchy, speedy, survivable flagship

Neb-b: Agate (for redirect), Vanguard, Aux Shield Team, Gunnery Team for a long range, rather hard to kill brawler

AFMkII: Agate (for brace), Paragon, ECM, Spinals, leading shots for a cheap-ish ship that can double arc better than a Cymoons front and absorb the return fire. Bit expensive for the hull value though.

if salvo is treated as coming from the defending hull zone (even though it uses the rear printed armament), as I've not seen anything on this (Missed it if it was in the article):

Neb-b: Agate (for Salvo), Salvation, spinals. Nah a lot to keep your front the target and roll for those sweet crits.

This was on the stream. It comes from the defending zone, effectively tracing the sane LOS in reverse - but uses the printed rear arc, which spinal DOES NOT modify

The spinal part I knew, that’s just for the GT shots

Gunnery teams have an activation based ending window.

So salvo has absolutely no interactive effect on them.

I see now the ambiguity in what I said (darn dangling participles!). I was saying the spinals are for with the GT shots.

its gets you three chances to pop salvation each turn (more of you add in Walex) on up to 11 red dice. It also encourages your opponent to lock it down, leaving your braces and evade usable.

Wait, I’m getting my builds backwards. This is what I get being on my phone while transiting with my kiddo. Argh.

the GT is on the Vanguard. Salvation gets 5 dice on activation (with CF) and 2 on salvo, for 7 per turn.
