Long time no see young Skywalker

[player4233697 14]

Its been a really long time since I played Republic and I want to try to put them out on the table once again. I really enjoyed playing Obi (delta), Anakin (delta) + 2 V19, but I would really like to hear if someone tried some Republic lists recently they enjoyed. 

My ships:

2 Delta-7
2 Naboo N-1
1 Arc
2 V19

 

Thanks everyone

It's probably not competitive, but I played this the other day and I don't know exactly why but I really enjoyed it. Those crackshot blue squadrons can surprise you if you are lucky.

So basically you have an opening double modded salvo of proton torpedoes+2 concussion, backed up with a potent ace (Obi Wan).

Calibrated Laser Targeting aces are all pretty solid, same with N-1 aces.  Something like:

• Obi Wan (CLT) 53
• Plo (CLT) 49, or it could be the same-price Mace (CLT) 49
• Ric Olie (Daredevil, R4-P) 49
• N-1 Baby Anakin (Passive Sensors, Advanced Proton Torpedoes) 48

I must say this looks really fun 😄

There's a lot of good republic ships in the 40-55 point range, and a decent squad can be usually strung together with four them.

• Most CLT Jedi
  • A 7B Jedi Knight might be OK too.  Down to 52 points, 53 with Synced Console.
  • SynCon is a reasonable upgrade; shuffling locks around is just pretty handy sometimes, but I wouldn't try to build a list around it.
• Ric and Ani N-1
• Broadside with Ion Cannon Turret at 41 is solid.
• A pair of Torrents (either Gold at 50, or Dedicated Blues at 54) are also a nifty little "pod"
  • Oddball with a Missile also should be OK.  He's in the 34-37 point range, so if you've got some other expensive "pod" he might fit in nicely.
• That's also the price range of most ARCs.

Any group of 4 of those "pods" is probably fine.  Not necessarily going to win big tournaments, but if you're putting together the pieces you think are fun, you'll probably have a good time.

@theBitterFig What do you think about V-19 Oddball with ion missiles, markmanship and synced console? (36 points) 

[Amc879 149]

I have been enjoying synced console Jag. He generates 1 or 2 extra locks for friends per game, which is worth it to me for synced console. He also gets double modded more often than not when there are bigger targets out there (Obi).

I'm not sure Marksmanship is worth it (doesn't do anything on Ion attacks, and I don't know that it's worth the point for Range 1), but he's going to be OK.  Not stunning, but OK, if that's all you can fit.

I'd say he's clearly worse than Broadside or any of the other options.  He's just cheaper, and that will often matter.

There was a while when I was trying out 7B Anakin, Jag, and Sinker, way back when.  It was OK (ARCs died, so any wins were very bloody and low MOV, so not super fun), but SynCon was really nice in that squad.

I feel like the secret to SynCon, I think, is to presume it won't work.  I think it's probably mostly bad to try to rely on it for anything intricate.  However, with 3-4 ARCs or 7B Jedi in a squad, it'll certainly be worth the points to just sling around locks on those rolls where you don't need them.

I was thinking that unlike crackshot, marksmanship can be used on missile attacks but yes, totally right, it doesn't do anything on ions. It would be better to combine it with concussion or cluster then.

I'll throw out a recommendation for the Arc-170. Wolffe with Commander Cody is a lot of fun. Pair it with Mace Windu. Shoot with Wolffe. If you hit them, great. If you don't, they likely spent their mods and are now strained, which lets a 7B Mace hammer in some shots. With the remaining points, you got a lot of options. 7B Obi-Wan, or CLT Obi/Plo with a GSP.

Thank you so much, I'm going to try @theBitterFig list today, really looking forward to get these ships flying again 😎
