Pfft Bakka. Who plays that awful mess? The all-gun-no-attack-craft fleet where it's possible to take the following 1500 pt list: Lord Admiral Rath Emperor class BB (8 AC) Dominion class CB (4AC) AM Dictator class CA (4 AC) Defiant class CL (2 AC) 3 Siluria class CLs Giving 18 AC at 1500 pts. 🙄 You hit a soft cap of like 48 AC at a bit under 4000 pts. Not as much as other fleets, certainly, but still hardly as absent as you would expect.

@@nono7105 actually bakka is pretty popular but most people use the Dominion as the only carrier. I agree though that the list failed in making gunnery important.

Ty for pointing that out, I wanted to play Bakka over Gothic because of the "emphasis" on gun batteries and did not notice that the Dominator was also available to that list.

I've seen players run a squadron of two Gothics, and advance them slowly along a flank, firing torpedoes all the way and basically waiting until they can get into striking range of something they really want to delete. Not a lot out there that doesn't have issues with a pair of these beasts locked on. Squadroning them with another Gothic or another ship like the Lunar also allows for you to exploit squadron rules so if one starts taking more damage, they just switch positions and now the undamaged ship in the squadron is the one that is soaking up incoming fire on it's 6+ prow.

I love how you try to make out that the range 'upgrade' is anything other than a complete lemon. 😆

only played the PC battlefleet, but i'd agree that "upgrade" sounds absolutely terrible.

The range "upgrade" is good if you want to save 5 points somewhere, since its main job is to sit back and fire its nova cannon and that's not going to require short ranged firepower.

@@IVIaskerade I would rather 'break' a cruiser into 5 pts less of escorts than take that range 'upgrade'. And I think most escorts are garbage.

@IVIaskerade be honest I never used it as that, I always used Dominators as close range brawlers, it's got a Retributions broadside a close range, pair it up with a Gothic or an Armageddon Class Battle Cruiser and you've got some serious close in firepower and you'll probably still be able to ruin something else's day with the Nova cannon at the far end of the battle line as the fleets merge

Okay serious question did anyone really actually care about the sector fleet lists outside of themed games, my old store we followed the structure guides in the lists (so 1 battleship per 3 crusiers or battlecruisers etc) but if a class exists in you chosen fleet, take it none of our games were in any particular sector so who cares, hell we even worked out the formula to build new ship classes and added are own (on a side note if an Elder player says they've converted a void stalker so it's just pulse lances and asks to use it, say no the formula was right it's the same pts cost as its a direct swap, but fighting it was like being an Earth Force ship going up against the Minbari)

Just to be clear, are you referring to the story based lists or Armageddon, Gothic, Cadia, Bakka, Obscuras?
