I love the meta behind docking Boba Fett to a Raider. I imagine the Slave 1 hanging out the bottom of the Raider a bit like Chuck Yeager's X-1 hanging out the bottom of its B-29 mothership. An Imperial officer asks Boba, "Are you ready, Mr. Fett?" Boba growls back, "I was born ready." A guitar solo ensues.
Benn checking for this video every day. I really enjoy this series of TH-cam videos and you are doing great work. Right now this is the my favorite thing to be watching on TH-cam. Keep up the good work! :-)
Great stuff as per usual. :) Personally, I only bring Boba for fluff purposes only. Remember, the auto damage done on a ship is done to a shield side of the opponents choice. And the blue dice on squadrons isn't great either. Expensive rogue if you ask me. Still, it's Boa, so I bring him haha. Your logic is sound btw. NO reason it shouldn't work that way unless they forbid it with an faq. But why would they.
It can absolutely go to a shield, but in the event you are facing a CR-90, or another ship with low shields, that is still important. You start attacking a ship with black dice and they are going to be quickly using up their shields with redirects.
Prob never going to play Armada, but after I played Battlefront "Campaign" and listen to the Inferno Squad audio book I became a huge fan of Inferno Squad and luv the look of The Corvus. So I def want to buy the expansion just to own another model of this amazing ship. I still need to get X-Wings version as well and hope will get Epic 2.0 in 2019.
Also very much disagree with your assessment of jerry, he makes them amazing at higher speed maneuver wise, and the loss of a shield on a side your not getting shot isnt a big deal since you have no redirect token so those shields aint helping you anyway
flechette torpedoes I don't really understand how that works. if the squadron was already activated and has moved or attacked then it wouldn't work right?
Right. The advantage here is high if you are 1st player, so you have the chance to attack and toggle their activation slider before they can even have a chance.
So if an Instigator is screened by TIE Advanced Squadrons, do the Advanced's Escort ability take effect? Because if so, it may give the Raider a bit more survivability
use the rapid launch bay and a lambda for a objective chasing ship perhaps Imo the wording makes it clear the squadron doesn't activate. it says for each squadron you would activate you may INSTEAD .... I don't see how an argument can be made that it did activate with that wording.
Crabbok agreed it needs clarification. the way it reads to me is slide the activation bar, but do this instead of activating. would have been much simpler if they just said activate as if the fighter was at the ships location. I hardly see using activate abilities as game breaking, nor allowing a full activation as game breaking.
Your enthusiasm for both the rules AND the thematics of the games you cover make you my top X-wing/Armada channel.
+ImFenster thank you!
With the new FAQ drop confirming your boba build, I have returned to give you a high five!
Ha ha thanks!
I love how this was created for the x-wing game and now it is a canon imperial corvette
Dalton Young it’s my favorite imperial design.

Dude that Fett possibility blew my mind in my commute to work this AM. I can't wait to try this one out! Thanks for the advice!

Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Loving these breakdowns
Agreed! I appreciate the reviews of the ships. Incredibly helpful for a new player like me.
Brother, this is maybe my favorite series you've done so far. Love this! Keep this up. I've been hoping you would do the Raider as well!
These breakdows are really useful,
Thanks for posting.
Sweet Boba Fett behind enemy lines idea. I'm definitely gonna try that one out.

Great Stuff, I love your ship breakdown videos, I learn so much, Thanks!
Considering the Corvus has a small hanger bay to carry Inferno Squad’s Ties I love the launch bay idea

Another good video, think i'll be trying out anti squadron with these.
I have 4 raiders. Would you do a build that has 4 and how you would run that type of a list
I use this thing because it is so very pleasing to the eye.....so, are there any new cards that make this better?
Also very much disagree with your assessment of jerry, he makes them amazing at higher speed maneuver wise, and the loss of a shield on a side your not getting shot isnt a big deal since you have no redirect token so those shields aint helping you anyway
@Crabbok how do you feel the imperial Raider is now with all the expansion and rules updates
So, is it possible to do the Boba Fett tactic? Its been a few years.
flechette torpedoes I don't really understand how that works. if the squadron was already activated and has moved or attacked then it wouldn't work right?
Right. The advantage here is high if you are 1st player, so you have the chance to attack and toggle their activation slider before they can even have a chance.
Crabbok thanks! that's what I was thinking. will have to give them a try next time.
So if an Instigator is screened by TIE Advanced Squadrons, do the Advanced's Escort ability take effect? Because if so, it may give the Raider a bit more survivability
I like raiders and have a list with two of them combined with two Arquitens
use the rapid launch bay and a lambda for a objective chasing ship perhaps
Imo the wording makes it clear the squadron doesn't activate. it says for each squadron you would activate you may INSTEAD .... I don't see how an argument can be made that it did activate with that wording.
Rapid Launch bay specifies that this IS an activation. It certainly needs an FAQ though to settle things.
Crabbok agreed it needs clarification. the way it reads to me is slide the activation bar, but do this instead of activating. would have been much simpler if they just said activate as if the fighter was at the ships location. I hardly see using activate abilities as game breaking, nor allowing a full activation as game breaking.
Instigator sounds like the best counter to intel.
Not available anywhere. WTF!
Grand Moff “Token” 🤣
