Hello all,
After a while being out of the hobby I have returned to it ?My
fleet has been growing since then and now I am the proud owner of a vengeance and an exorcist.  I was planning to test them in battle when I thought "what the heck, why not test them both at the same time?". ? So this is what I will try to do next time I play (hoppefully next friday).
So, has anyone had experience using more than one of those lovely ships in a 1500 point game? So far I have used a BC as my flagship (Armaggeddon or Mars) in most games or a BB (Emperor), but only once a have I deployed a GC (a proxyed ?exorcist, coupled with an armaggeddon), and even less 2 of them at once! ?
So, here comes a provisional list for the force. I am more interested in knowing the experiences of other people than in the list itself, though. I am mostly inexperienced in the field of GCs, so I would like to see what other people do with them and think of them. Useful? A waste of points? Weak/tough?....
Anyway, let's see what you have to say about this ?
- Fleet admiral Salmerr, 1 extra reroll
- Vengeance GC "Pride of Palan"
- Lunar "Hyperion"
- Lunar "Selene" (squadroned with the other lunar)
- Dauntless "Hermes"
- Dauntless "Anubis"
- 3 swords + 1 firestorm "Alpha Squadron"
- 2 swords + 1 firestorm (or 1 sword and 2 firestorms) "Beta Squadron"
- 4 cobras "Vigilants of Calenda"
TOTAL: 1490-95, depending on the escort combo
Actually, the exorcist is not much more than a dictator with upgraded WB and survivality droping the torps. I greatly dislike the ictator, having had less than a limited success with them (I have 2 of these things). It seems that an exorcist is somewhat more useful for the role I assign to carriers as a secondary asset in my fleet, providing CAP for the fleet and acting as support more than as plain offensive assets. In that sense it might be overkill in the background to have 2 GCs there, but from a utility POV I don't feel like that. Let's see what you think about it.
