Shaltari Fleet Build - jjakaalbinoboy - 08-10-2017 Okay folks, I'm starting to build a Shaltari fleet, so far I have: 4 cruisers including the starter fleet build of 1 Obsidian, 1 Amber and 1 Emerald - 1 to build 12 Frigates including the starter fleet build of 2 Jade and 2 Topaz - 8 to build 4 Voidgates I want to try and have a few games with this before I look at buying/building/painting anymore. The list I'm thinking of trying with these is: -------------------------------------- Shaltari 1250 Clash - 1110pts Shaltari - 4 launch assets SR10 Vanguard battlegroup (155pts) 1 x Obsidian - 155pts - H + Star Elder (40pts, 3AV) SR9 Line battlegroup (258pts) 1 x Amber - 110pts - M 4 x Topaz - 148pts - L SR9 Line battlegroup (160pts) 1 x Emerald - 100pts - M 2 x Voidgate - 30pts - L 2 x Voidgate - 30pts - L SR5 Line battlegroup (145pts) 1 x Basalt - 145pts - M SR4 Pathfinder battlegroup (192pts) 2 x Amethyst - 96pts - L 2 x Amethyst - 96pts - L SR4 Pathfinder battlegroup (180pts) 4 x Jade - 180pts - L -------------------------------------- http://dflist.com/s/#/share/abb0507484155 -------------------------------------- Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated (I know I need more voidgates but I only have 4 right now, you only get 1 per cruiser sprue....). RE: Shaltari Fleet Build - jaqenhgar - 08-10-2017 I like the Amber, and the basalt is fairly decent. Jade's are good but a bit expensive, not sure about the 4 amethyst group now they have been nerfed. I like the 4 topaz. Don't like the obsidian as very hard to pull off a weapons free, and the damage output is a bit weak. i would go for an onyx instead as the fire arc is great and if you can pull off two weapon free turns it can do some serious damage. I know it sounds a bit overkill with the big scan range of shaltari but you need an active scan group - maybe 4 topaz and a single amethyst - two active scans a turn and you try and kill two enemy cruisers before you take any return fire. Of course going forward you need a second Emerald and at the very least I'd say 9 voidgates in total. RE: Shaltari Fleet Build - jjakaalbinoboy - 08-10-2017 Thanks for the advice Chris, unfortunately I already have the obsidian as its one of the starter fleet ships. All 3 are built as per the starter fleet build. |
