I got around to painting a few squads and to get some idea how best to do it I tried one of each republic squadron.
And since my last republic fleet was squadronless (and I figured out I can’t fly black die corvettes) I decided to remove one C70 and add my painted squadrons.
Name: Untitled Fleet Faction: Republic Commander: Obi Wan Kenobi
Assault: Targeting Beacons Defense: Contested Outpost Navigation: Doomed Station
Venator I (90) • Clone Navigation Officer (4) • Intensify Firepower! (6) • SPHA-T (7) • Assault Proton Torpedoes (4) • XI7 Turbolasers (6) • Tranquility (3) = 120 Points
Acclamator I (66) • Obi Wan Kenobi (28) • Adi Gallia (3) • Boosted Comms (4) • Wide-Area Barrage (2) • Nevoota Bee (5) = 108 Points
Pelta Transport Frigate (45) • Skilled First Officer (1) • Projection Experts (6) • Parts Resupply (3) • Reactive Gunnery (4) • TB-73 (5) = 64 Points
Consular Charger C70 (45) • Hondo Ohnaka (2) • Reserve Hangar Deck (3) • Radiant VII (1) • Munitions Resupply (3) = 54 Points
Squadrons: • ARC-170 Starfighter Squadron (15) • BTL-B Y-wing Squadron (10) • Delta-7 Aethersprite Squadron (17) • V-19 Torrent Squadron (12) = 54 Points
Total Points: 400
Doesn't look too terrible even if it would probably be better with some aces...
Well, I've only painted one of each squadron... I figured I could throw the V-19 into the enemy and force as many as possible to shoot it instead of the Jedi.
Other than that, good points. I actually thought I put OEs in the Venator. Might just drop the XI7s (and the WAB on the ACC) for OEs and some other upgrade.
I dont have much experience on the GAR specific upgrades, however personally, I would swap out XI7’s as it’s on its own, and these best work with other ships with this to drill into one hull to remove shields. Also I’d swap APT for External Racks as you haven’t anything to help fish for crits on your black dice.
Edited: -Also your Reserve Hangar deck only supports your solitary V19, so get rid of that. Looking again I think I would for squadrons have two Y wing (assuming you only have one Sqn box set), and remove other items on your ships to get your V19’s up to at least two, preferably 4. That way if you do use Reserve hangars then you have more options.But get rid of you just keep the solitary V19.
