Because I can...

By Thrindal, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Following @The Jabbawookie 's lead.

This is a list I had prepared just before the Pandemic hit and was excited to play it. I had been trying the Onager and wanted to give the Starhawk a try. I felt like max squads was the way to go but didn't want to have to activate them so I made this list because I can.

Name: Come at be bro
Faction: Rebel
Commander: Kyrsta Agate

Assault: Station Assault
Defense: Contested Outpost
Navigation: Doomed Station

• Weapons Battery Techs (5)
• Heavy Ion Emplacements (9)
• Quad Battery Turrets (5)

Because you fell for it...

The starhawk should have EST and walen if you're going for a tanky build. Generally people prefer LTT to QBT to make the most of the salvos that the starhawk will be using, and you may want to look at replacing some of the YTs with Hera and two aces of your choice.

I feel like EST vs DCO is a meta choice - for instance, I have been playing the SH against lots of Onagers and Kuats w/ACMs, and the DCO/contain is actually stopping more incoming damage then EST w/2 Redirects.

My 2nd Redirect is swapped to Salvo (so it's on Mk2 Unity with 2 Brace, 1 Redirect, 1 Contain, and 2 Salvo.

It seems like the Magnites and QBT might be counter productive as well, since the Magnite will shut off QBTs for the following round against the ship it is used against.

This is definitely the case and changes are being worked on.

Walen is definitely a good call. My current version of the list replaces the Comms Net GR-75 for a TRC-90 so I was considering Ray Antillies for the other slot because no token passing.
