If you can't, bear down, go for double-arcs, and do as much damage as you can before you finally explode. You've got pretty decent side and rear arc attacks and they're all long-ranged so you can harass would-be assailants as you get away. With a low speed, you need to anticipate how to handle incoming threats.
There's something to be said for just piling on all the red dice you can with extra dice upgrades and the like but red dice can be very fickle. The more dice fixing you can provide, the better. The good news is the ship does very well at double-arcing so it shouldn't be too difficult to line up attacks from a front and side arc (or both sides if you're pretending you're Admiral Ackbar and sailing through an enemy formation, you lunatic) most rounds. Without a weapon team slot to give you access to Gunnery Team, you really need to get attacks from both arcs for the Munificent's attacks to add up. A red flak die minimum on each means you can reach out and touch some squadrons, but don't count on an unaided red die too much against squads where it can be particularly fickle.Very generous side arcs that actually creep a little bit into the front of the ship's base (not pictured) make it ideal for double-arcing targets, especially with a double-click move to set it up.A good number of red dice all over and with 2 red dice in the rear arc and a salvo token you can get some work done with return fire if you need to.6 hull with 4/3/2 shields is identical to the Rebel Assault Frigate, but with a lower speed and no evade token, the Munificent comes off worse against attacks.Top speed of 2 is slow, but it has a lot of yaw at speed 2, especially for its size.Engineering 4 is average for a medium-based brawler but very welcome given the Munificent is pretty cheap for a medium-based ship.Command 2 makes it surprisingly responsive for a medium-based combat ship.I'm not sure I'll ever get used to the new ship card layouts.īoth variants of the Munificent frigate have a lot in common:
Moving on to the stuff that won't impress most people. There you go, you learned something today.
In this case, "munificent" means a person or gift that is generous, perhaps even over-generous.
Given the Separatists get their military resources primarily from merchant guilds and trade federations, it's not surprising a number of their ships are named for terms relating to wealth. It's a dependable scrappy and adaptable little medium-based ship that operates very differently from every other medium-based ship in the game. The first serious Separatist warship we'll be discussing is the Munificent-class frigate.
