Description
Armed with 10 quad turbolaser batteries, the Sullustian Dauntless cruiser is a powerfull broadside brawler with limited fire arcs but a lot of firepower and armor. It is equiped with a hangar in its front jaw. Neutrally buildable on Sullust.
Will the Rebels gain access to this ship generally"" from memory it was a pretty important class of ship in their rag-tag navy? Or is it restricted exclusively to Sullust?
I like what Aotr did with the Dauntless, making it available on all worlds with capital shipyards once you've captured Sullust.
That's a good idea, I'll ask maxim about that.
To be honest the Dauntless in AoTR is a piece of junk. You can buy 2 Liberator carrier/cruiser for the cost of 1 Daunty plus some extra fighters/bombers. Or a Mediator battleship.
I hope they give her a special role, like missile defense ship or something, because now she is pretty useless. :(
I don't find the Dauntless useless at all... in fact they're a mainstay in my fleets. I've found they can go toe to toe with an ISD quite well. Of course they need support to back them up, but beyond that I think they're an excellent ship.
Most rebel ships in AoTR are pretty useless for the price tbh. Only the carriers are useful, like you mention.
I don´t know if the single engine is in the original design but I like it. I guess the ship will be rather slow?
You're really fleshing out the Rebel fleet, huh. I like it.
