Going off what we know so far, here is my attempt at building a CIS Fleet:
Flagship: Munificent-Class Comms Frigate (Best Guess is 72 points, same as the AF2 MK B; 83 seems too far a departure from the Acclamator pricing we've seen)
Admiral: Kraken (30 Points)
Officer: Wat Tambor (5 Points)
Turbolaser: Linked Turbolaser Towers (7 Points)
Ion: Heavy Ion Emplacement (9 Points)
Support Team: Flight Controllers (6 Points)
2nd Ship: Munificent-Class Comms Frigate (72 Points)
TL: LTT (7 Points)
Ion: HIE (9 Points)
3rd Ship: Munificent-Class Comms Frigate (72 Points)
TL: LTT (7 Points)
Ion: HIE (9 Points)
4th Ship: Hard Cell Battle-Refit (52 Points)
DR: Reinforced Blast Doors (5 Points)
TL: Slaved Turrets (6 Points)
Squadrons: 4x Vulture Droids (32 Points)
Total Points: 400 Points
The Concept of the list is fly in a battle line and have the Munificents support each other, using Kraken to guarantee you will get to use HIE on your front shots. The Hardcell acts as a sniper, picking on the weakest enemy ship and using Kraken as a sort of free reroll. LTT combined with 4 Vultures is to assist with enemy squadrons and tie them up; make sure they're getting squadron commands to deal with them though, as without AI, your anti squadron attack is only 1 Black and 1 Blue. Against aces, use AI for a blue to get accuracy chance higher, against normal squadrons, Black gives you a higher chance of damage. If Kraken commnads them, they turn into very fierce anti squadron presence, but are still fragile. Wat is there to ensure Kraken can survive, but you'll need to use engineering commands to keep him alive. At Command two, you're pretty flexible, but take an engineering token on turn 1 in case you need to bail yourself out. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

I like the list but I think using Kraken makes LTTs less important. Something like Quad battery turrets might be better in my eyes since it has a max speed of one and can give you a blue die on the side so you can also use the HIEs there as well.
ReplyDeleteAnother Upgrade I really like on ships like the munificent is auxiliary shields team.
Giving it an additional shield on each side can make it even tankier.
I think your "72" points mugnificient with Ion and Turbolaser is gonna be the more "expensive" Star Frigate.
ReplyDeleteThe comm frigate shoulb be 72 but boast offensive retrofit.
