(Either they die miserably or they kill whatever is in their way!)
The basic Nebulon of Death is:
Support Refit with AST, LTT, and SFO at 62pts.
The fleet needs a minimum of 4 of these, but 5 also works.
Leia is the commander, and she rides on Jaina's Light with TRC if you use 5 Nebulons, or on an MC30 with whatever toys you like and has a Slicer Tools Transport as an assistant.
Weaknesses: bombers, although the LTTs help a bit at killing these; and other MSU fleets.
Strengths: simply deletes slower, big ships. 2 turns of shooting to kill an ISD, 3 to kill an SSD or Starhawk.
They take a bit of practice to get them into position - they all need to be shooting the same target, the same turns.
And great fun.
Nasty. Do you bother slipping Salvation or Vanguard in there? Or is that getting too cute?
Not enough points, otherwise Salvation or Redemption would be worth having. I'd really like a Pelta with IF!, which fits at 600 or 800pts alongside 8 or 11 Nebulons, but it's too expensive at 400.
You have to cut the Turbolaser upgrade to still get 6 ships in and it's too easy for manoeuvrable ships to avoid the Nebulons - either the CR90 or the MC30 is necessary to deal with flanked.
I have a similar list...but only 3 Nebulons.
CR90 A, TRC, Leia, Jaina
CR90 A, TRC
Nebulon B SR, SFO, AST, LTT
Nebulon B SR, SFO, AST, LTT
Nebulon B SR, SFO, AST, LTT
Pelta Command, Ahsoka Tano, Intensify Firepower!
Points: 386pts
Enough for a title. Salvation? Redemption (...for the lol´s) or Lando Off on the flagship. Downgrade Pelta Command and add a Slicer flotilla?
Never played with it! Just theory crafting!
Try it out. See if it is enjoyable, see how it performs.
What about objectives?
How do will you deal with Onanger?
@Silverback Jedi onagers are easy - at least in theory - keep the pelta a long way away, so it can't be shot; the other ships are manoeuvrable enough to avoid the Ignition arc if you play better than your opponent...and can last/first with a ship that can't avoid moving into it. The hard part will be facing squadron-heavy fleets where you have to kill the carrier ships without losing too many of your own ships. Objectives are tricky. Most Wanted is nice for the extra damage and points but means one of your own ships becomes more vulnerable. Opening Salvo is an option. For the yellow, Asteroid Tactics can help against squadrons but are less useful in terms of scoring bonus points. Infested Fields is ok too, since Jaina's Light helps you claim tokens, but Solar Corona might still be easier.
Why dont you use someone other than Leia and win a tournament?
Who, me? Nah, I'd rather fly Leia whilst winning a tournament (or 2)!
(I have won 2 using Leia's Nebulons, and one with Motti. None have been large or prestigious...yet.)
What do you suggest?
