Flight Path is good stuff, Trek is good stuff, and I'm about to throw money at the Dominion and get into the local organized play.Otisburg posted:Other factions are the Independents (Including KHAN), Ferengi (perhaps appropriately available only by paying far out the rear end for a ship that was a limited edition tournament reward), with with the Borg and Species “Whatever Boring Numbers Thing Fluidic Space gently caress You Voyager” in the pipeline. Don't forget Mirror Universe is also a planned faction!

I don't suppose you have a link to his comments? Also, the completist sperg in me will probably necessitate picking up one Kraxon just to get access to the upgrades.

Alright, I'm all set to buy the following on Thursday: Gor Portas Kraxon 5th Wing Patrol x2 What are the good out-of-faction things to consider for Dominion? EDIT: I've got a sort of urge to do some experimental jazz and make a whole fleet of 5th Wing Patrol ships. What's gonna happen to me?

Otisburg posted:The one thing I don't like about it is the unique ship text. In the current state of the metagame splitting up your attack dice is at best extremely corner-case situational, at worst an active system mastery "newbie trap." Stack them dice. Roll a hundred at a time, not one die a hundred times. What can you dump on it right now to boost its attack dice?

Jonas Albrecht posted:Here's my jazz for Tuesday. It's not OP, just a casual meetup. I was wrong, it was OP3. Experienced bij in two games through planet loss and the 5th Patrol Wing getting blown up, but had a decisive victory in one with both the planet and total foe annihilation. The guys there were super nice, and I got a ton of free stuff including a Red Shirt, a set of purple bases, and token swag. Postgame space round-up: *Picard in the Gor Portas can really tank hits. At one point, I had two ships throwing all of the lasers at me, and I was able to get away with just a single shield loss thanks to stacking EM and Battle Stations. It's good stuff. *Unfortunately, both my EDs were ten points of worthless. Trying to stay within range of the planet and chasing my enemies meant I was never in range 1. *My 5th Patrol Wing ship (henceforth known as Lil' Jem'Hadar) needs a defensive build, not an offensive one.

Eh, the whole faction issue is typical lovely WizKids. As it stands the game just does not support the kind of faction purity Trek fans want. If they are enforcing this kind of thing during OP, I strongly recommend going Klingon.

The Gor Portas gets better with every new torpedo. If it gets ruled that you can chain Secondary Torpedo Launcher, I will never stop doing that.

Otisburg posted:Worst case you run 2 primaries and 2 secondaries and can pull it off twice... never spending your target lock to boot. So it looks like you can't chain them, but that's still a good deal. I still think Spock is the only crew I want for the Portas, since his ability is completely insane. Gor Portas (26pts) @Gul Dukat (5pts) -Feint (5pts) *Quantum Torpedos (7pts) *Quantum Torpedos (7pts) *Secondary Torpedo Launcher (5pts) *Secondary Torpedo Launcher (5pts) ^Mr Spock (6pts) Command Tokens (5pts) That leaves me with 29 points to spend on another ship, likely a barebones Kraxon. I could swap out for some cheaper torpedos, but those are honestly the best ones to pair with the STL.

I really like the idea of using the Strike Force Admiral's Orders with the two Jem'Hadar ships (the 5th Patrol Wing and the 4th Division Battleship). Admiral's Orders: Strike Force (5pts) 4th Division Battleship with Independent Flagship 1 (46pts) @Weyoun (4pts) -Once More Unto the Breach (6pts) ^Varel (11pts) 5th Patrol Wing (22pts) @Gul Dukat (5pts) Total: 99pts Okay, so Weyoun + Varel is dickitude of the highest order, and the Strike Force card will ensure that every round I will be able to avoid an attack. Once More Unto the Breach will be devestating at the right moment, giving me two attacks at 5 dice (6 if I can get in at range 1). The 5WP suffers a bit, but with Dukat and the battleship, I can make it a token generating machine. Jonas Albrecht fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Dec 3, 2013 |

I don't generally run crew ganking, and in any event its worthless if I can't get off a shot to lower your shields. You're response would be to look me in the eye while I destroy your forces.

Here's an attempt at a pure Dominion build. Admiral's Orders: Strike Force (5pts) United Force (0pts) Gor Portas with Dominion Flagship - 36pts @Gul Dukat - 5pts *Energy Dissipator (5pts) *Energy Dissipator (5pts) *Photon Torpedos (5pts) *Photon Torpedos (5pts) ^Breen Aide (2pts) 5th Wing Patrol Ship - 22pts @Weyoun (4pts) %Tetryon Emissions (3pts) *Forward Weapons Grid (5pts) *Photon Torpedos (5pts) ^Glinn Telle (3pts) There's not a lot of razzledazzle here, but Glinn Telle is going to help keep your ships around longer. Plus the 5WP's attack boost will apply to Forward Weapons Grid, giving you a 4/5 split against multiple ships, or a whopping 7 attack dice with Photon Torpedos. The Gor Portas is going to be the torpedo boat that it is. Jonas Albrecht fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Dec 3, 2013 |

I've got a wild hair about pimping out a single ship as much as possible.

A potential 8 dice with torpedoes, 9 against cloaked ships, with 3 actions a round and a free Evade.

Otisburg posted:I wait patiently for your after-action report. Went 2-1. Match 1: Went up against a Portas, Koranak, and Kraxon, traded his Portas for my Kraxon and then we chased each other around the map until time was called. I won by two points. Match 2: Went up against a fleet of Four stripped down Romulan ships. Managed to eliminate two of them, but an early loss of the Kraxon and a couple of bad Portas maneuvers got me a loss. Match 3: Went up against a two ship Fed build, a loaded for bear Defiant and a D to baby sit and buff it. The first turn, it managed to roll five dodges to my five hits, but in the second turn I one shotted it with the Portas, and the third turn saw the Enterprise get blown out of the space water. Thoughts: The Kraxon was good at pulling hits off the Portas, but Konmel was a waste on it. Keeping the Portas around is good (and our group ruled that the Kraxon's ability can trigger Counterstrike), but the regen build is a bit of a waste. It's going to have to do as much damage as it can before it gets esploded. Coming in second place and then losing the dice-off for the Sutherland was bitter fruit.

Otisburg posted:I remain firm in my belief that cloak on the Defiant is a trap. Its health points are in the shields. Trading that for a chance of maybe stopping some hits on your relatively fragile hull is a sucker's bet. Certainly. Also, being able to stack tokens is sick. I rarely rolled under 4 hits in the game.

Otisburg posted:Sure. Depends on what you're going for. If you have easy access to scan, Spock is good, plus instead of having to spend the token he works thru multiple attacks (great with counter attack, secondary torps, unto the breech, ferengi missiles, etc etc) True, but with ten whole space points going to a flagship, it's going to be hard to find a spot for him. Next month though, I am tossing the flagship on the Kraxon and seeing what happens.

Let me know what you space peeps think of this one: Strike Force (5pts) Gor Portas (26pts) Gul Dukat (5pts) Photon Torpedos (5pts) Boheeka (2pts) Kraxon with Independant Flagship 3 (36pts) Jean-Luc Picard (7pts) -Counterstrike (4pts) Mr. Spock (6pts) Konmel (4pts) 100 space points. Traded a Photon Torpdeo for Spork so that when the Kraxon has a Battlestation token, each drat counterstrike will convert for free.
