It does seem expensive for what it is. I’d think about literally just Vanguard + LFC on a cheaper support refit for 59 points, Intensify Firepower somewhere else; that’s a ship capable of throwing 3 attacks a round at enemies, which is reasonable damage and getting good value from the fleet command.

59 points is already on the high end of what I’d pay for that kind of durability, though.

Updated my version of agate potatoe vanguard with help from Biggs check it out!

Really like this list

yeah having pelta with IF really will help list and remove need for LTT on potato and vanguard thus making them cheaper and more viable ships with bonus of extra activations and firepower. The GR-75 Slicer is to help with squadron list by attempting to take away squadron commands. If you also want you can move some points around to change slaved hammerhead to a CR-90 if your heart wants too which could be better or not tbh.

I think that’s kinda where I’m at with it. 59 seems okay, but then I just think, ahhhh, maybe Aux Shield Teams... it’s a trap, I tell ya.

I guess this is one of those situations where the value of Vanguard goes up because of Intensify Firepower. That seems good! And I also like IF with an MSU list to begin with... especially when only one of those six activations is a flotilla.

I’m sold.

And a delightful surprise for anyone that gets into close range since I am 100% going to be oumping out squadron commands.
