So I was tempted to start playing Gothic and came up with this fleet:

Apocalypse Class Battleship,
2x Dictator Class Cruisers,
2x Lunar Class Cruisers,
3x Sword Class Escorts,
3x Sword Class Escorts.

Admiral
Reroll

1.5k exactly.

Pretty cheap to buy, I was wondering if this was the right kind of idea. My plan is to get into the middle of the enemy after laying down a bit of ordnance and nova fire. I wanted to stay away from the Emperor and Oberon and go with a heavily armed battleship to finish off ships weakened by the Lunars. One squad of Swords will protect the Apocalypse and the other the Lunars.

Thoughts?

Looks like a good fleet, You seem to have very little fighter and bomber support however so that would be your main weekness I think.

Your list includes 3 Nova cannons right ? That's a good number, having around that many can really mess up the enemy fleet you get to them !

Overall not a bad try, the best way to find out if it's a good list is play with it, see where it's limits are and such.

Hmmm, I only have one nova cannon. I suppose that is a bit of a hole in the fleet. How about this:

Apocalypse Class Battleship,
2x Dictator Class Cruisers w/ power ram,
2x Lunar Class Cruisers w/ nova cannon,
3x Sword Class Escorts,
3x Sword Class Escorts.

I lose a bit of LD on the battleship, which is a real shame. I does greatly improve my ranged firepower though. Not many torpedoes but it puts all of the ordnance in one squadron, meaning I don't have to reload things for only a few torpedoes.
