Kyrsta's Starhawk Aspiration

By itzSteve, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

So...I put together a new list I want to try out. All ships are pretty bare bones, but still should be able to put out pretty consistent damage with Leading Shots and Intensify Firepower. All 3 shooting ships also have blue/black anti-squad dice, so they should be able to hold up against the new squadron rules coming. Aspiration was added to help the MC75 as it will be used as a flanking ship. Beef up two zones to 6 shields and then the Pelta can send 4 shields in the first two rounds to restore the moved shields. It should make the MC75 harder to kill. My question to the community is this...are the big ships too bare bones to be effective?

I honestly think an MC30 with ECM/H9/Ordinance Experts and the title of your choice will do a lot more work than the MC75. In my experience the '75s hit well enough but you have to navigate them into place and they're pretty flimsy when they come up against heavy firepower or squadron attacks. The MC30's ability to fly speed 4 gets them out of most unwanted spots quickly and they can still take a full shot from an ISD or an Onager's ignition attack and more or less shrug it off.
