Starhawk, first build - need thoughts!

By RogueCommander, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Such a monster of a ship! It’s going to take some getting used to. Here’s what I’m going to run first.

5 Activations, objectives that will hopefully force them to come to me (except maybe Surprise).

Wondering if the flankers can ping a tractor beamed target enough to allow the SH to finish.

Name: Hook & Hold

Faction: Rebel

Commander: Kyrsta Agate

Assault: Suprise Attack

Defense: Fire Lanes

Navigation: Sensor Net

Starhawk Battleship Mark I (140)

• Kyrsta Agate (20)

• Walex Blissex (5)

• Strategic Adviser (4)

• Gunnery Team (7)

• Advanced Transponder Net (5)

• Leading Shots (4)

• Magnite Crystal Tractor Beam Array (10)

• Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7)

• Jaina's Light (2)

= 56 Points

CR90 Corvette A (44)

• Ahsoka Tano (2)

• Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7)

= 53 Points

GR-75 Medium Transports (18)

Squadrons:

• 4 x VCX-100 Freighter (60)

= 60 Points

Total Points: 398

And if someone kills your squads or ties them up?

Then I’ll need a HWK if they get tied up, maybe. If they rush in to kill squads I think they’ll be delayed/chewed up a bit? Dunno really. I saw an SSD use ATN with just 4 Tie bombers to great effect to stall a fighter wing with good positioning. But, that was against Rebels. Imps might be trickier due to range.

Yes but the SSD wasnt reliant on those 4 tie bombers for objective points

True. So, either change objectives or swap squads. Y wings would be the swap choice - what would be objective changes?

Did well against a squadronless fleet. Needs more testing, but could have some legs.

the Starhawk is quite nice, though the tractor beam is a little tricky to really capitalize on. Need to keep practicing with it to make it worth the points.
