Dropfleet Commander/Tactics/Scourge

They talk of democracy, freedom, fairness. Those are the creeds of cowards. The ones who would listen to a thousand opinions and try to satisfy them all. Achievement comes through absolute power, and power through strength! They have lost!

Why Play Scourge

High damage weapons

Wolfpack tactics

Special Abilities

Scald: Scourge weapons with this ability reduce armor rolls against their damage by 1 while within the ship's scan range.

Corruptor: Scourge torpedoes that achieve successful penetration unleash a hot, steamy load of Razorworms inside their victim's defenseless hull, starting "Fires" every turn.

Ships of the Line

• Light Tonnage:
  • Nickar-class Corvette:
  • Gargoyle-class Strike Carrier:
  • Harpy-class Gun Frigate: Fun size Oculus Beam platform.
  • Djinn-class Close Action Frigate:
  • Charybdis-class Bombardment Frigate:
  • Scylla-class "Submarine" Frigate: Play tower defense games with your opponent by dropping these into atmosphere and using their Reverse-Grav cannons to act like a mobile Military Sector!

• Medium Tonnage:
  • Yokai-class Light Cruiser:
  • Strix-class Light Cruiser:
  • Chimera-class Troopship: Poorly armed but hauling troops, much like the San Francisco. The major difference being that Chimeras are faster and flimsier, so it can be a challenge to keep them alive long enough to drop bulk landers into a midfield cluster over several turns. Handle with care.
  • Hydra-class Fleet Carrier:
  • Ifrit-class Cruiser: Carries a set of the Scourge dual-mode Burnthrough Lasers. Toss a pile of middling dice looking for that sweet 8 damage spike, or throw a single die with pinpoint accuracy to light the target with Flash and possibly land a crit chain.
  • Wyvern-class Cruiser:
  • Sphinx-class Cruiser:

• Heavy Tonnage:
  • Raiju-class Heavy Cruiser:
  • Shenlong-class Heavy Cruiser:
  • Banshee/Manticore-class Battlecruiser:
  • Akuma/Basilisk-class Battlecruiser: OMG OVERPOWERED! The Akuma/Basilisk has both Full Cloak and Stealth, making it completely immune to spikes while above 50% DP and able to fire on Silent Running. Because of their ability to strike at arm's reach and negate most of the risks of going on the offensive, you'll see at least one of these in every competitive Scourge list at the moment.

• Superheavy Tonnage:
  • Dragon-class Battleship:
  • Daemon-class Battleship:
