No Defense for You!

The list went 2-1 today. I beat a Starhawk list and a double ISD list, both squadronless. I lost to an squadron heavy list because I couldn't lock down and kill the last ship and gave up a ton of points to Superior Positions. That's what I get for not listening and using Solar Corona instead. I didn't get a ton of mileage out of IO, but I'm not sure what to swap in instead.

Ah, yes I see what you mean, that's helpful then. I still like IF and my Providence build though - once all the defense tokens are gone it will help keep the Quad Turbolaser Cannons useful.

Given Lucid Voice isn't throwing black Slavo dice, I don't value DBY particularly highly.

Looking forward to the report whichever way you go.

I'd think the list would get more benefit from a Carrier Providence than the Dreadnought - it's a prime target that needs to get close, so will really benefit from the refit. I'm also doing this to get IF, as that will let you trade in un-needed accuracies for damage, it also fixes your Salvo dice, as Kraken is only once per activation.

I think triple Intel Officer is excessive. With this much accuracy generation you're looking for them to take out a few key tokens more than anything. Tikkes will fuel the IF, Passel would also be good.

My flagship build:

[ flagship ] Providence-class Carrier (105 points)
-  Kraken  ( 30  points)
-  Lucid Voice  ( 8  points)
-  Tikkes  ( 2  points)
-  Thermal Shields  ( 5  points)
-  Quad Turbolaser Cannons  ( 10  points)
-  Point Defense Ion Cannons  ( 4  points)
-  Assault Proton Torpedoes  ( 4  points)
-  Intensify Firepower!  ( 6  points)
= 174 total ship cost

Squads? Especially with Superiot Positions. Maybe stuff that can stay at long range, since that invalidates half your cards. Those are just guesses though, I am not very good at theory crafting. How did you do against those fleet types?
