I might... need some help with this 400 point Wave 1 Rebel build... :/

So I am trying to trim, but I don't know what to trim.  I reluctantly gave up that Enhanced Armaments on the last assault frigate, only to add everything up and be 3 points over.

 

I want a full squadron of Y-wings for the fluff reasons (in my head each stand is 4 craft, so 3 = 12 = 1 full squadron), and when I write up battle reports I will have flexibility with them describing the battle and losses.

 

Gah, I want your inputs and changes so I can consider other angles that I have missed, before I make my decision,

I'd personally not worry about Raymus on the Corvette.

 

It can only store one token at a time, and you can decide on what token that is at the start of the game...  Usually for me, its a Navigate, and leaving it at that...

Because from that point on, all I'm doing is resolving the Command Dial...  Expecting to resolve a Dial + Token is, usually, too much to expect from a Corvette...

I would drop the cabuse to a B or drop advanced projector or something from your other ship. You could also use xi7 instead of enhanced armament.

he uses raymus to pass extra tokens via tantive 4 to the frigates, I would actually keep that one there

My Corvettes race away, so difference in play style.

Anvanced projectors? Hmmm! Actually that just might work!

What I do is put a command that another ship needs on the corvette dial, and when it activates and I reveal my dial, which triggers raymus. Raymus then triggers the title, passing the token before it hits my ship. Then I can choose what to do with my dial, whether to use it, or make a token for later on the corvette, or to make a token to pass, for a total of 2 tokens passed per turn.

Plus it is mainly their to manipulate activation order and plink away at long range when not passing tokens.

[Drasnighta 26,573]

Like I said, different playstyles  Mine wouldn't require it, focus on the Activation Order Manipulation and Plinking away as a primary, and **** the other options...

Honestly, its mostly there for Motti-VSDs...  Mainly to plink away shields that they would be using to Redirect To, before the main attack hits.

+5 Point Defense Reroute (I really want to try this out)

 

Those re-rolls aren't so bad, but only work at short range.

 

5-points for a theoretical (short-range) upgrade from 1 point to 1,5 damage vs. fighters per round.

 

Not so sure.

I know, but my first 2 games on the last vassal tournament I realised that it would of been really useful.  They are usually attacking you at range one anyways, and this combined with gunnery team (another upgrade which I have never used!) means that I can do 1 anti-ship attack and 1 anti-squadron attack.

 

Problem is, should I have this on the lead ship or the trailing ship?  Which one is more likely to be plastered with fighters?

 

And what is better, X-wings, Y-wings, or A-wings?

[Green Knight 8,822]

They'll go for the one w/o the upgrade :-)

[Corellian Corvette 1,733]

Okay, dropping the Projectors, frees up enough points to take the 3 Y-wings and have 3 left over for a defensive Liaison to stick on a guppy.
