Hello all, Happy Friday and a good weekend! Sorry for missing the last few Fridays.
Question of the week: How fun and/or viable are fleets made using just large ships, and as many as possible? Imps have done triple ISDs for a while, but how would, say, 4 Venators be?
I think they'd be really fun, but not very viable. If anyone wants to play fleets of just max large ships, to find out (for Science!), lemme know! I have Vassal.
@Sabelkatten It would indeed! Maybe in Vassal. . .
No way I'd spend all the money to run this fleet, but it would be pretty cool...

Triple Venators with SPHA-T or triple Recusants are actually quite formidable.
For Rebels I might try out a Starhawk/large MC, for Imps my 2 ISD with Interdictor (I’m itching to try out an ISD/Interdictor/Glad list soon!). For my Seps it will have to be Providence and 2 Recusants as that is the sum total of Separatist large ships I have.
One fleet I've been wanting to test for a while is my three MonCal larges. I've even got a plan for it (sort of).
In a tournament last summer I beat a Providence + 2x Recusant with my Starhawk + MC80H (+ GR-75 + 2xA-wing). Seppy player made the now classic error of charging with the Recusants letting me blow them up before the Providence got into range.
This is what I’ve run with some success.
