Worlds 2020 Lists

By Tokra, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Worlds are canceled (in case someone did not notice it untill now 😁 ). But maybe we can make a collection of fleets that some would have used.

I will start with my "all time several lists, where i choose one to hand in 2 minutes before the deadline".
It is a really bad habit from me. Bringing more than one fleet and thinking till the last second what to use. I even shuffled them once and let the TO draw one (his face was worth it 😉 ).

Most likely i would have used this fleet :
A variation of my last worlds fleet, just with Moralo . This list is great, because you get what you want without a big bid (being first player). And it does not even matter if you are first or second player. Both is working great.
Assault objective could be Surprise Attack or Targeting Beacon . I just found that Surprise Attack suddenly give me a bigger chance for Fire Lanes or Sensor Net . just because some lists do not want to play Surpise Attack at all. And we really do not need to discuss what Fire Lanes or Sensor Net will do with 2 shuttles (and Squall ). The insane victory tokens are most of the time just too much for the opponent.

Faction: Galactic Empire
Points: 399/400

Commander: Admiral Sloane

Assault Objective: Surprise Attack
Defense Objective: Fire Lanes
Navigation Objective: Sensor Net

Quasar Fire I-class Cruiser-Carrier (54 points)
- Squall ( 3 points)
- Skilled First Officer ( 1 points)
- Flight Controllers ( 6 points)
- Boosted Comms ( 4 points)
= 68 total ship cost

[ flagship ] Raider I-Class Corvette (44 points)
- Admiral Sloane ( 24 points)
- Corvus ( 2 points)
- Hondo Ohnaka ( 2 points)
= 72 total ship cost

Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)
- Comms Net ( 2 points)
= 25 total ship cost

Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)
- Comms Net ( 2 points)
= 25 total ship cost

Arquitens-class Command Cruiser (59 points)
- Centicore ( 3 points)
- Captain Brunson ( 5 points)
- Engine Techs ( 8 points)
= 75 total ship cost

1 Maarek Stele ( 21 points)
1 Valen Rudor ( 13 points)
1 Saber Squadron ( 12 points)
1 Major Rhymer ( 16 points)
2 Lambda-class Shuttles ( 30 points)
1 Moralo Eval ( 22 points)
1 Colonel Jendon ( 20 points)
= 134 total squadron cost

And backup would have been this fleet :
Just a nice combination of Onager with Interdictor and 5 activations. This way the chance for second player is really big. And the missions work great as second player.
As first player it could be possible to do last/first, or at least wait for a target and try to take it out. the Engine Techs could be on the Onager or the Interdictor .

Faction: Galactic Empire
Points: 399/400

Commander: General Romodi

Assault Objective: Ion Storm
Defense Objective: Abandoned Mining Facility
Navigation Objective: Infested Fields

Onager-class Testbed (96 points)
- Cataclysm ( 5 points)
- Strategic Adviser ( 4 points)
- Gunnery Chief Varnillian ( 6 points)
- Engine Techs ( 8 points)
- Orbital Bombardment Particle Cannons ( 5 points)
= 124 total ship cost

[ flagship ] Interdictor-class Suppression Refit (90 points)
- General Romodi ( 20 points)
- Interdictor ( 3 points)
- Captain Brunson ( 5 points)
- Disposable Capacitors ( 3 points)
- Targeting Scrambler ( 5 points)
- Grav Shift Reroute ( 2 points)
= 128 total ship cost

Gozanti-class Assault Carriers (28 points)
- Minister Tua ( 2 points)
- Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points)
- Slicer Tools ( 7 points)
= 44 total ship cost

Gozanti-class Assault Carriers (28 points)
- Hondo Ohnaka ( 2 points)
- Comms Net ( 2 points)
= 32 total ship cost

1 Maarek Stele ( 21 points)
1 Valen Rudor ( 13 points)
1 Tel Trevura ( 17 points)
1 Colonel Jendon ( 20 points)
= 71 total squadron cost

I might not have used the backup, just because it has not enough squadrons (for my play style). but i loved this fleet so far. Especially with the Assault Gozanti (3 red dice on long range with a Gozanti are fun). One variation was as well Cienna instead of Tel. Just to block the enemy squadrons a bit better.

Good idea @Tokra . Here’s what I was very seriously considering this year:

Faction: Galactic Empire
Points: 395/400

Commander: Admiral Screed

Assault Objective: Surprise Attack
Defense Objective: Asteroid Tactics
Navigation Objective: Infested Fields

Raider II-Class Corvette (48 points)
- Corvus ( 2 points)
- Iden Versio ( 6 points)
- Disposable Capacitors ( 3 points)
- Heavy Ion Emplacements ( 9 points)
= 68 total ship cost

Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)
- Hondo Ohnaka ( 2 points)
- Comms Net ( 2 points)
= 27 total ship cost

[ flagship ] Onager-class Star Destroyer (110 points)
- Admiral Screed ( 26 points)
- Cataclysm ( 5 points)
- Governor Pryce ( 7 points)
- Gunnery Chief Varnillian ( 6 points)
- Linked Turbolaser Towers ( 7 points)
- Superheavy Composite Beam Turbolasers ( 7 points)
= 168 total ship cost

1 Dengar ( 20 points)
1 Boba Fett ( 26 points)
1 Mauler Mithel ( 15 points)
3 Firespray-31s ( 54 points)
1 Tel Trevura ( 17 points)
= 132 total squadron cost

As an alternative, I was also considering of an Agate Liberty & Rogues list or Agate Starhawk & Rogues list, but I just don’t have as much practice with those options.

Alternatively I got 2nd in a local tournament with a wave 7 variant of this:

This is currently my favorite thread on the forum, but I believe it does not get the attention that it deserves. And I think the main reason for it is that only a few people visit this part of the FORUM. @Tokra
what about reopening it in the main forum?

Good point. Most are only looking on main page.

SOMEHOW DOUBLE POSTED.

I do not understand that fleet. What is the second af for? You can nearly have a decked out admo for the points

My plan was to go with a variation of this 2ISD build, as it counters Starhawks pretty nicely and I expected to see a fair share of those:

Faction: Galactic Empire
Points: 400/400

Commander: Admiral Motti

Assault Objective: Surprise Attack
Defense Objective: Contested Outpost
Navigation Objective: Doomed Station

Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)
- Darth Vader (off) ( 1 points)
- Comms Net ( 2 points)
= 26 total ship cost

Imperial I-Class Star Destroyer (110 points)
- Intel Officer ( 7 points)
- Weapons Battery Techs ( 5 points)
- H9 Turbolasers ( 8 points)
- Heavy Ion Emplacements ( 9 points)
= 139 total ship cost

Onager-class Star Destroyer (110 points)
- Strategic Adviser ( 4 points)
- Weapons Battery Techs ( 5 points)
- Sensor Team ( 5 points)
- Quad Turbolaser Cannons ( 10 points)
- Superheavy Composite Beam Turbolasers ( 7 points)
= 141 total ship cost

[ flagship ] Raider I-Class Corvette (44 points)
- Admiral Motti ( 24 points)
- Corvus ( 2 points)
= 70 total ship cost

1 TIE Interceptor Squadron ( 11 points)
1 Valen Rudor ( 13 points)
= 24 total squadron cost

I tried different variations of ships/squad cover (Bring Chimera/ECM on ISD, get 2 interceptors with RHD and/or bring Maarek/Interceptor), but ended up with a Raider as the most flexible option.

My backup plan was to join the dark side and to bring Starhawk myself (as a potential to have a double evade of Starhawk is just crazy and long range damage output with Caitken/Intel/TRC may surprise people):

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 400/400

Admo can't push squadrons.

I notice you have only Intensify Firepower for dice modification. I am interested because I tend to bring at least two dice mod tools for my ships (eg leading shots plus ltt). Can you please advise me whether or not I am overdoing it? I tend to play Imperial so might have OE on gladiators with Screed, or IF plus leading shots onnChimaera.

While I do also have some ConFire tokens from Garm I generally just rely on IF! for dice mod with this fleet.

I can get away with that because I am mostly relying on hitting people with multiple small dice pools. The front arc of the Liberty is the only attack I get that might need extra dice mod, but even then it is mostly blue dice which mercifully lack blank sides.

Are you overdoing it? Hard to say. Many players want redundant dice mod for fear of outlier results that are all blank. Volume of fire helps me overcome those kinds of rolls. In general though I think most players spend too many points on upgrades.

I would have most likely brought my VWC fleet or something very similar

I would have brought a slight modification to my Australian Nationals winning fleet. Adding Centicore to give more flexibility on vector of attack against the new ships.
