Zamalekite 387 Posted July 29, 2018 Interesting that the top two fleets had a big focus on messing around with the other player's speed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BergerFett 708 Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Konny for the Win (kinda). He is better than you would assume just looking at him. Not sure if my list is better or worse with a different admiral though. I want to get strategic advisor in there and maybe tractor beams to double up on the speed shenanigans. I will continue to tune it for a while but it may just be better with Sloane or Motti Edited July 30, 2018 by BergerFett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nostromoid 879 Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) If the Konstantine fleet can do this well against absolutely not a single opponent who went squadron-heavy, with the absurd amount of anti-squad tech, then there must be something to it. TIE/ins splashing 6 blue dice and countering for 5 is ridiculous. With six of them. The only thing this list probably fears is twice as many ISDs, which... I think that Kuat would be happier with Brunson instead of Titus, even if it means scrounging for a point or two. Replace the RBD if needed. If Konstantine is going to be keeping the enemy in the Kuat's teeth, you might as well gear for a slug-fest. And Brunson will almost certainly cancel much more than 3 points of damage over the course of the game. Edited July 30, 2018 by Nostromoid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brunson and the chaff defense upgrade are going to try to be worked in. simply removing 2 dice from an attack is super strong with brunson and being obstructed. I think konny is cool here but lets be honest my list would be better with sloane/motti. Konny is cool it didnt work as well as I thought but I faced no sqaudron pushing fleets, so they were going to navigate anyway regardless. I will keep playing him to see what happens but I need to rework my ISD a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
