RogueCommander 236 Posted June 8, 2016 I really think he could be nasty. Might swap one of the GR75s for jamming field. Thoughts?

Vae 118 Posted June 8, 2016 I'm looking forward to using Cracken in this kind of fleet but I think one of the points of using the GR75's is for cheap squadron pushing not just activation boosting or a demolisher shield. I'd drop a CR90 for at least 4 A-wings or drop a CR90 and 1 slicer tools for 3 X wings and Jan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RogueCommander 236 Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Why would you want a Jamming Field?That's a great question - I must've been drunk.What else to do with those points....? Not sure. I'm tempted to see if there is room for another Shrimp if I drop that second GR75 and one of the Vette's. >shrug< Edited June 8, 2016 by RogueCommander 1 Green Knight reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogueCommander 236 Posted June 8, 2016 Yep. Like that better. Lost an activation, but still have 29 points to mess with. For this a healthy bid is probably necessary, though. I could throw XI 7s on the titled Shrimp, maybe? Any other ideas on how to spend 14 points and leave a nice 15 pt bid?

Bear in mind that Cracken's ability doesn't work against squadrons so you will still be vulnerable to a Rhymer ball. (even if going speed 3). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also possibly Lando on the title-less one to help it survive the time when it is at black range for it's attack run? Yes, if you are going to have opening salvo, get some APTs on those mc30s. Chuck some black dice at medium range and get some crit effects from far out. I'd also consider turning that vette into an SW90 and using those 7 points to make foresight a scout frigate. Give it some long range capabilities so that its evade token is more effective longer. Or you could use those 7 points to throw on Lando, as suggested above, and then throw Leia on either your transports or the SW90. Give yourself a counter to slicer tools that may get used against you. Or Jainas light on the flagship. Jainas light is always a nice, cheap add-on.

RogueCommander 236 Posted June 8, 2016 Hmmm. Ok, thanks for the tips. I'm liking this. Still would like to get at least 2 YT-2400s (for their rogue) as a screen, but I think even trying to squeeze a single A WIng in here will be tough. Actually, I think I'd have to scrap one of the Vette's, at which point that build changes a lot, so if I did that.....I'd likely add 4 YT-2400s and I'd beef up the other ships (starting with the Shrimps).

Parkdaddy 626 Posted June 8, 2016 That foresight is going to be virtually untouchable at long range. It can cancel 3 whole dice when going at speed 3! I like it, except for the bid. I don't know what happened to your bid. Your mc30s liked the previous bid. Leia is something that you'd just have to get used to using (if you aren't already). Not necessary, but a nice thing to have in case your opponent has slicer tools. If you were to desire any more of a bid, I'd start with her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogueCommander 236 Posted June 8, 2016 I agree. There's some fat to trim if necessary, but I think the basic list will be fun. Could switch away from Opening Salvo and decrease the impact of APTs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
