    I actually quite like your guides guys, keep em coming! I'm just getting into the game and am quite impressed how FFG has done balancing so far, especially compared to X-Wing

    Great educational video, as always. Your example of the Garel’s Honor build vs an MC30 shows just how brutal the HH can be. Thanks again, Ken, and hope you are feeling better.

    The hammerheads look so nice but as you pointed out I would rather run a cr-90 corvette

    I like several versions of Hammerheads.
    Torpedo - External Racks, Ordnance Experts, Garel's Honour, thrown out of Profundity, or Task Force Antilles duo
    Scout/Torpedo - Flight Commander, Expanded Hangar, Task Force Antilles as a carrier (works pretty damn well)
    Scout - Gunnery Team, Dual Turb Turrets, Task Force Organa (and works awesome with Sato)

      I personally am a huge fan of 2x Scout with TFO and Slaved Turrets

      Slaved Turrets are pretty cool, I'd use them more often, but I only have one. TFO is good, but I am a huge fan of TF Antilles. This single damage transfer makes them survive almost twice as long.

    Thank you so much for all of the advice. I am hoping to make some Hammerhead Corvettes shine in a game with a friend soon. I was wondering if you had any plans on tips and tricks for the MC75?

    Spinal armnement scout corvette is a great option if you don’t have the three points to spare

    • @motf7552
      @motf7552  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Spinals are 9 pts!

    • @starmada105
      @starmada105 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I understand that, but I usually run spinal cr90’s anyway, as front arc attack ships, and they are great at softening up most targets at long range. If I’m running 2-3 of those and simply am 3 points over (we all know that feeling it sucks, and I seem to find myself 3 points over a lot. Also, I run raddus and profundity a lot, so task force organa is usually worth taking

    • @motf7552
      @motf7552  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ah yes that wasn't explicit in the original comments about CR90s. You don't find TRCs better for a CR90? It's cheaper and will get you a consistent 2 damage, for any arc.

    • @starmada105
      @starmada105 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      TRC’s are great but spinal CR90 lines will shred through most ships if you have concentrate fire commands. You can either take the 4th dice, or token it and use it to reroll some dice. I think it’s personal preference. If I need to skimp on points for bombers or fighters I’ll take TRC’s instead.

  • @elijahsellers3727

    Great job as usual. Do you think you could do some squadron clinics in the future?

    • @motf7552
      @motf7552  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sure thing! The quasar is next though

    • @elijahsellers3727
      @elijahsellers3727 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      MOTF understood. I was submitting an idea for a future video, in addition to the Interdictor.

    • @motf7552
      @motf7552  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Squadrons / Deployments / Big ships are something we're working towards. There are so many intricacies and variants that it's hard to reduce it down to an easily digestible video. We'll get there though!

  • @benburkin7942
    @benburkin7942 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does the Hammerhead take a face down damage card when overlapping another ship? It seems odd a ship meant for ramming would be damaged when ramming.

    • @motf7552
      @motf7552  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      All ships do unless they have an upgrade that prevents it!

  • @kuvuta
    @kuvuta 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    How viable is it to fly them with Flight Controllers, Expanded Hangar Bays and Raymus as a relativly cheap ship with 3 squadron activations and Flight Controllers?

    • @andrewmedeiros9546
      @andrewmedeiros9546 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've wanted to try this with Leia who can give them all +1 Squadron.

    • @motf7552
      @motf7552  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its an interesting idea! It would be competing against the cheaper gr75 carrier builds though.
      -Vet. Cap Ken

    • @kuvuta
      @kuvuta 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, my idea was to use one Hammerhead with Flight Controllers to activate your fighters and then activate the bombers with GR-75s

    • @motf7552
      @motf7552  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know Fulcrum Nick has used it before but I'm not sure he was the biggest fan. It's definitely not the worst idea though.

    Is that a personally printed ship at 7:03 (center)? Also, Have you done a video on the MC80 battle cruiser (and variant)? I watched your Home One video (very good by the way) and can't seem to find a video for the BC...

    • @motf7552
      @motf7552  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes it's printed from Mel's Miniatures on Shapeways.
      We haven't done clinics on all the ships yet, stay tuned!

    is that colonel jendon /maarek steele card 1 card and if so where did you get it that is really cool?

    • @motf7552
      @motf7552  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah its a custom card, we will give them away as prizes in the future.

    • @stevealbert4050
      @stevealbert4050 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I understand how Maarek is so OP but why does Jendon always go with him? It seems like for 20 points you could buy another ace that is nearly as good....

    • @parkermcclintock8292
      @parkermcclintock8292 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is really simple maarek Steele ability to turn a dice to a crit. And jendons allows him to do that twice. Second of all jendon has relay allowing you to push Steele beyond normal activation range and damage ships from quit a distance. 4 blue dice with 2 hits no matter what is very powerful

    • @motf7552
      @motf7552  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just to follow up on Parker's comment Jendon is ridiculously good for a couple of reasons. He's with Maarek so often because Maarek himself is so good (especially against ships). The pair of them can brutalise ships, doing an almost guaranteed 4 damage across two attacks.
      Jendon is worth it over another ace however because of the flexibility he offers. Firstly, Relay is a fantastic power to have rolling around, but even if you take him with Maarek it's not like Jendon is locked to him (basically you can use him to get a second round of attacking with whatever is the best option at the time).
