How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Reconquest

Why Play UCM

Railguns with forgiving firing arcs and damage-spiking lasers with narrow arcs cover all the basics of firepower

Your ships look like Mass Effect/Halo/(200X sci-fi franchise) rifles with engines

Ships of the Line

  • Light Tonnage:
    • Santiago-class Corvette:
    • New Orleans-class Strike Carrier:
    • Toulon-class Gun Frigate:
    • Taipei-class Missile Frigate:
    • Jakarta-class Defense Frigate: The Jakarta's Aegis rule provides a Point Defense boosting aura to ships within range. Extremely useful against bomber-heavy lists and Close Action battlegroups, but useless against main guns and Shaltari Beam CAWs.
    • Lima-class EWC Frigate: A little ship with a big claim to fame. As the only ship with the Detector rule, Limas can ping enemy ships with Active Scan regardless of their battlegroup's orders. Use this to light up targets with spikes and make burnthrough alpha strikes that much better. Keep in mind that they can remove Silent Running status on a 4+ as well.
