Mainbe losing the Atmospheric rule and reducing the points? That will set it apart from the other frigates, but it breaks the theme.
Overall I think gun frigates are in a bad place. I've only sporadically seem PHR gun frigates and never seen or used any of the UCM's

Re: Resistance Starter Box
That is a good point. Vent cannon heavy frigates look like good damage dealers, although a bit pricy at 42 pts per ship

Re: Resistance Starter Box
That is 4 attacks each right with Vent Cannons. On a lock 3.
Wouldn't the normal turret be better because of the squadron rule? And is cheaper as well?

Re: The use of Centurions in the UCM fleet
Might be interesting to silent run them up the board untill they can go weapons free.

Re: First experience with Resistance
Hmm that is interesting. I think you are right, it might be to much eggs in a single basket, especially if it is also a flagship. A Phalanx might be better suited for that role

Re: First experience with Resistance
It isn't slower then a New York so that is fine by me.
I was more concerned that it would be to much jack off all trades master of none compaired to the pure gun version battlecruiser.

Re: Resistance builds
That is an interesting light cruiser build. Although I'm affraid these will be prima targets for the enemy given their dual role and the importance of fighter cover in a Resistance fleet.
