Okay. So based on the info we have for the new factions (ships, upgrades and squadrons). Show me some builds you have in mind to try using the new stuff and any upgrades available. 200 point, 400 point or even sector fleet of you dare. Let's have some fun fleet building!

There is an imperial list called Penta-VIC. My version of it consists of Motti, 5xVSD-Is with 2 E-Rax and Brunson on the flagship.

I think the Galactic Republic can do a better version of this list. Acclamators are cheaper and faster VSD-Is. Five Acclimators would be possible but I think they do better with some upgrades.

• Surprise Attack , Contested Outpost , Solar Corona 399/400
• Acclamator-II, E-Rax, LTT, ECM, Bail Organa 115 - (assuming a cost of 70 for the ACC-II ship)
• Acclamator-I, E-Rax, LTT, 76
• Acclamator-I, E-Rax, LTT, 76
• Acclamator-I, E-Rax, LTT, Implacable 80
• C70 Armed Cruiser, Munitions resupply 40 - (assume the C70-A can take the Fleet support upgrade as one of the small CIS ships can)

13 points remain which could be

• 3 sets of Ordnance Experts (Implacable doesn't get one). I think this is my favored option because of the 7 black flak dice and plenty of E-Rax.
• 3 Clone Gunners (Implacable doesn't get one) to make use of the CF tokens you can hand out to the entire fleet.
• A single Torrent fighter (so much for swarm)

Bail hands out 5 repair Dials to whoever gets shot at the most and Implacable can operate on the flank so it is subject to less fire so it feels safer to attract damage to its front shield. Obi-Wan Kenobi costs the same as Bail an will reduce damage each time you redirect and lets face it the redirect is probably the least likely defense token to be hit by an accuracy after Brace and Salvo.

Sadly the point costs for the Munificent can't be seen anywhere but I really like the idea of a tanky flagship and two more offensive orientated ships.

The flagship would be something like this:

Munificent

Tide of Progress

Hondo

Auxiliary shields Team

ECM

Linked Turbolaser Towers

The other 2 would go in a direction like this

Munificent

Intel Officer

Engine Techs

Linked Turbolaser Towers

And some extra squadrons or maybe an extra Hardcell as a supporter

The CIS just feels far more interesting to me than the Republic eventhough I liked the Republic more in the clone wars series
