By having the Neb approach at an angle perpendicular to my battle line it eliminates just about any escape route my opponent might try to use.shmittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766980131438916697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119763690228975812.post-17426317275568244462015-10-21T16:45:33.349-07:002015-10-21T16:45:33.349-07:00I have tried the inside of the line as well and fo...I have tried the inside of the line as well and found this to be a better arrangement for me. It required a lot more patience, but the benefit was in having the movement of the Salvation perpendicular to my battle line gave me some better choices in where to apply my firepower.shmittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766980131438916697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119763690228975812.post-89009296119913962102015-10-21T12:25:10.368-07:002015-10-21T12:25:10.368-07:00I agree.

Having the shrimp at the rear of your fleet also allows it to get into a good position as needed at the front or back of the fleet due to its high speed and hard hitting armament.Mundohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400021945039768853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119763690228975812.post-90390239867968369582015-10-18T23:59:24.349-07:002015-10-18T23:59:24.349-07:00 New MC-30 scout frigate seems a solid substitute ... New MC-30 scout frigate seems a solid substitute for old salvation as trailer , double boardside turbolasers and credible side shielding allow it to be included near the line -as rearguard or covering positions-, being more able to kite than forward oriented nebulon, and its impresive arrange of black dice torpedoes can almost assure than any badly damaged enemies are transformed in space debris. More expensive pointwise (11-18) but double potential impact in number of turns.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233379248094412126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119763690228975812.post-59053907032582277472015-10-18T19:14:23.983-07:002015-10-18T19:14:23.983-07:00I love Salvation for this role, though I usually d...I love Salvation for this role, though I usually don't set up my trail ship a full range ruler away, but set mine up on the inside of the line, and have it move slowly forward. I'll have to try it your way and see if it improves my results, as what I find is it draws some fire on turns 4-5 and usually trades itself for a line ship (which is okay, but not ideal).Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10671403672769089154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119763690228975812.post-58128755257981852902015-10-18T08:39:33.030-07:002015-10-18T08:39:33.030-07:00Yeah, I have a list that uses this concept with a ...Yeah, I have a list that uses this concept with a naked Gladiator I and it works just fine. A little expensive, but it has the firepower and mobility to make it work. I actually found that the Salvation title wasn't always necessary and a stock Nebulon probably could have worked too. shmittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766980131438916697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119763690228975812.post-83799481755979400432015-10-18T00:54:54.858-07:002015-10-18T00:54:54.858-07:00I really like this concept.

I too found that as an Imperial player against Rebels, it was too easy for the opponent to navigate out of trouble after taking a battering from my VSDs. At the same time, I noticed that my Gladiator was taking most fire in my battle line. By keeping Demolisher 'in reserve', you tie up quite a lot of points but it lets you reach out and smash a damaged enemy ship.<br /><br />I think the Raider-I with assault proton torpedoes or ACMs could also fill this role going forward.Mundohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400021945039768853noreply@blogger.com
