Hey everyone- I honestly love the new wave. Each ship feels interesting and dynamic. Here’s what I’ve concocted with my new LAAT.

the idea here is to slow roll as a block with the LAATs gun facing forward. Wolfpack is there to make the acquisition on locks for the proton and plasma torps work. I know that fire conversion doesn’t work with the dorsal turrets so I’ve thought about dropping them 4 r4s on the ys or making it 3 pro-torps.

thoughts? Thanks in advanced!

I’d go 3x Protons as otherwise your opponent will be able to make the Plasma shoot after a Proton and the Plasma bonus effect may do nothing. I’m interested in whether Plo crew is better than 3xConcussion Bombs on the Y’s..?

I do think the Wolfpack & Sync Console thing is going to be potent. Whether through this or dropping the Y’s to Concussion Torrents to fit a cheap Jedi flanker I’m not sure yet.

As much heresy as it is to say this if it came down to r4 OR dorsal I'd go without the dorsals entirely.

Thank so much! Im not sure I follow on the enemy choosing the order I fire in re: the plasma torp. Could you explain?

With the strain caused by wolfpack, I think plo’s ability to pull a strain off a friendly will be helpful.

I think I agree on r4 over dorsal!

You move fwd and focus with all. Enemy moves into R3. They fire on a Proton Y, it strains and acquires a lock. Your turn to shoot-

Proton- pass lock- Plasma- pass lock- Proton.

It'll be a tough list to do well with against certain things, but you'll mostly be able to delete something at some point, I imagine. Whether that's enough..... R4 will help a lot with that, setting things up with a red move/roll and keeping all your turn options is pretty big. But no dorsal makes that set up much more necessary. The front arcs will be avoidable for a lot of things.

The main issue I think, is that they'll shoot the one that doesn't have arc on them, invalidating the whole chain. Dorsal could help avoid that, keeping arc so the attack can be made and the lock passed.

Yup. Plasmas can lose value if that first Proton strips all shields, (or of the enemy ship had none to begin with).

I think those are fair points. This version seems reasonable but perhaps lacks some razzle dazzle. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I see the value of Plo Koon here, but man, he really turns that LAAT/i into a points piñata.
