If you want a fleet that has more of a commitment to squadrons (even if it's just "I want to invest a bit more so my fighters can crush most squadrons coming against me"), then the Quasar is for you. It doesn't need to be either/or, I fully expect it to be "and" when the Quasar is in use.Eric Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10721846237539911453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899368611583210454.post-6753376244931677792017-06-02T14:40:28.837-05:002017-06-02T14:40:28.837-05:00I do like this ship, but I'm a little concerne...I do like this ship, but I'm a little concerned about using it in place of dual Gozantis at a similar price point for the same squadron power and the additional boon of extra activations. I definitely see the benefit of more squadron power in a single activation and a ship that can also support the combat line, but I think for my money the extra activations are a nicer buy unless you're going in for the boarding parties or some of the tricks provided by the Titles.smashthedeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579047575489323045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899368611583210454.post-59109781587951925622017-05-22T22:14:07.443-05:002017-05-22T22:14:07.443-05:00In terms of squadron command muscle and effective ...In terms of squadron command muscle and effective titles, I think the Quasar has got the Pelta beat. The Pelta has the definite upside of being able to exploit Fighter Coordination Teams (which the Quasar can't, although the Squall title helps do something similar if you need it) and being able to bring along a Fleet Command upgrade, which can be super good (All Fighters Follow Me! being particularly noteworthy so far as a carrier-focused ship is concerned).<br /><br />I'm also glad that Imperials get a more dedicated carrier than Gozantis or VSDs/ISDs. It's a good development. Rebel fleets have been able to use GR-75s, Neb-Bs, Peltas, and the occasional Assault Frigate/HMC80 for a heavier battleship/carrier. Imperials had their flotilla and larger ship ends covered but nothing in the middle. That's been fixed, thankfully.Eric Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10721846237539911453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899368611583210454.post-9846892970134367572017-05-22T21:15:12.331-05:002017-05-22T21:15:12.331-05:00I think this is very comparable ship to the Comman...I think this is very comparable ship to the Command Pelta. With its Titles and option slots I think it makes a far better carrier to the Command Pelta and is arguably better than a similarly point buy Yavaris. As a Rebel player I am super jealous but also very glad my Imperial opponents got a competent carrier instead of relying on Gozantis or Star Destroyers.MattShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711109494736342698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899368611583210454.post-79639120889403684052017-05-20T08:54:25.508-05:002017-05-20T08:54:25.508-05:00This might make Overload Pulse Raider II a viable ...This might make Overload Pulse Raider II a viable option in conjunction with the ISD Avenger title.<br /><br />Maybe. :)Democratushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363769534296286481noreply@blogger.com
