and what you think about narn fleet box, is it worth buying?

 

[Tank]

Narn are solid but I cannae recall what is in their box fleet!

 

[wilq]

4 G'Quan cruisers
1 T'Loth assault cruiser
4 Sho'Kos cutters
2 Ka'Toc battle destroyers
48 Frazi fighters

Thats a nice selection but I would say it depends on what level of games you will primarily be fighting. If you will mostly be playing 5pt Raid then that is not a particularly good fleet box. (but then neither is the crusade EA box)

Apart from the many many Centauri players and the quite numerous Minbari players, not forgetting of course the hordes of Narn players or Shadow agents and Semi-Sentient Vegetable ships and a few dozen ISA types (not the bank account either) :lol:

Well, when that poll went round, EA was far and away the most popular.

And everyone that plays is on the forum? :?

I have played in several tourneys where EA has been (if they are the most popular) very under represented.

 

[Triggy]

As far as I've seen EA are the most popular but not by too much. They are followed (in order) by Centauri, Narn, Minbari, Shadows and ISA. Only a couple of fleets are truely underrepresented (Abbai and Raiders) by the player base and that's a shame but the Abbai are a good fleet and the Raiders aren't as bad as all that (they only lack variety).

 

[Lord David the Denied]

Used as part of a League fleet, Raiders have more variety than anyone else, and a pure Raiders fleet can have one FAP of League ships as allies.

Someone did a wonderful breakdown and analysis of the fleet boxes. The original topic has apparently disappeared - I could swear there was a 2nd one for Armageddon too, but couldn't find it - but the original is duplicated in this thread:

EDIT: Actually, the new box breakdown IS in the player resources thread pinned at the top of the page Check it out, has some other great things there too, as I mention below.

You may also want to check out things like the player resources thread; there are links to some sites with "Shipviewers" that can give you a basic idea of some of the ships of the fleets. It's no substitute for the actual books (and if you use it for that, SHAME SHAME SHAME!) but can be a nice preview or as info if you might be playing those fleets but have no plan to collect them and don't want to buy the rulebook.
