I am still working on painting my fleet right now but I've already started thinking about a fleet list. For Sorylians, most of the fleet lists I see tend to be the same with tactics varying differently. So I wanted to do something slightly different.
800 pt Sorylian Pure Fleet List:
Tier 1:
Halberds (x4)- 430
-Weapons Shielding
-Reinforced Port/Starboard
Tier 2:
Falcatas (x4) - 240
Tier 3
Reapers (x5) - 125
-Pack Hunters
Total: 795
I recognize that this is going to be low hit point fleet but since Sorylian strength lies in its mediums which hit above their weight class, I wanted to theme the list with them.
The difficulty is that potentially I can drop the halberds down to Falcatas and throw in a Battleship or Battle cruiser which gives me way more HP and ships, but I was looking to see how well a hardened fleet of heavy cruisers can do which means dumping half my points into them. Provided that I utilize enough terrain to keep them under cover and use my cruisers/frigates as forward screens should have enough movement to get into range using the drives to maximum. Additionally, spreading my hit points across multiple targets should help offset the vulnerability of the units themselves (hopefully).
Feedback is welcomed but bear in mind I don't have access to destroyers or corvettes (Kestros and Plumbatas).
