The big ship is fine.

What exactly is the ECM protecting on the Arquitens? They have dual redirects and evades are hardly worth 7 points to protect. Take RDBs instead and on some occasions let damage through to the hull (you have a contain for crits) then dispose of 3 hull damage over the turn break. Slaved turrets is ok with Vader but Romodi gets you 2 extra red dice if you can double arc a target. I would look at Needa TRC and Brunson (or Monferrat) TRC with RBDs optional.

Raider-II I would go for HIE, D-Caps and Vet Gunners.

Thanks for the input. I like your idea for the Arquitens, it's a potential for eight dice per turn instead of six and I can get the same effect with Montferrat as I can with the Early Warning System. I do think I'm going to leave the Raider the way it is though, it's purpose for being there is anti-squadron and I don't want to be lacking in that aspect of the game.

I just bought the Onager and am looking forward to using it. The thought process here is that the Onager stays back while the two kittens harass/finish off enemy ships in and around the asteroid field. The raider focuses on fighters and the gozanti provides support.

[Thoughts on build]

I would replace Redundant Shields with Electronic Countermeasures or Early Warning System. Redundant Shields relies on you getting shot first in order for it to be useful, so I always go with something that helps when I'm getting shot. Both ECM and EWS will make your ship more tanky.

[Romodi kitten swarm]

One thing to consider for your Onager is to change the superweapon. Unless you're trying for the long range shot, the Orbital Bombardment Particle Cannons can be easily countered by your opponent by simply spreading out.

[Getting some use out of Dominator]

What do you think of Harrow on a Vic 1 with Minister Tua, Engine Techs and Expanded Launchers?

[600 Point SSD list just for fun]

Hi guys. I built this list just for the fun of it. The idea is that the SSD dishes out the damage while the Interdictor and Gozanti provide support. Tell me what you think.

Thank you for the input, I will definitely make a few changes based off of it. I had a feeling overload pulse and Avenger was a combo to good to be true.

Next week I'm going to participate in a 600 point sector fleet tournament for charity. I'm thinking about using this build, let me know what you think.
