People usually like the Lance Dauntless better, for a number of reasons. No need to reload, real solid weaponry that is easy to get within range, only loses 1 lance to crippling.

And of course the representation of the Dauntless has to be hotter than Megan Fox.

Someone needs to paint/photoshop Megaon Fox on the Dauntless prow.

Lol, I think I might name one of my Dauntlesses 'Lady Fox' or something.

Wait, wait. The Endeavor/Endurance are the Megan Fox'. Have to think of someone else for the Dauntless.

You mean the motorcycle scene only instead of the motorcycle, she's sitting on the Dautnless' prow? Holding a ham sandwich?

Either the motorcycle scene or the one where she opens the hood of Bumblebee (pt1).

Would it be legal if the sandwich had both mustard and mayo?

We established that mayo and mustard are not to be combined in an official sandwich, and any attempt to do so will result in a cease and desist order

The silly part was I just pictured someone putting a voss style prow on a daunt with Megan Fox as the figurehead.

On the Dauntles with torps vs lance variant (Megan Fox vs Rosie Huntington?).

The Dauntless torp can kill a battleship.
The Dauntless lance cannot kill a battleship.

Heck, mustard and mayo on Megan Fox would be totally worth it and will definitely result in a CDO if only to prevent a lot of heart attacks.

Itd be interesting if only torpedo dauntless' were allowed.  That would be quite interesting.
Say its a Bakka specialty.

In my opinion, Vipers have a big weakness: their utility depends only on an order (RO obviusly), BUT:
-I cannot backup their LD like I do with cruiser that are squadroned
-they don't have an option like the Cobra Widowmaker

I think that this escort should have the option to increase their LD like the Cobra (that is also dependent from RO )

otherwise, take this escort represents a huge risk to waste their points (that is very limited with Cobra)
did I say anything wrong? If I roll 1 for LD of the Vipers squadron (LD=6 as you know) I can bet that I won't use them! Am I exaggering? Ok that I may have 2 rerolls for example, but I will give them orders after all the other ships for sure, so on one side I must have luck to have the possibility of giving them orders, on the other side they would preferentially fail the LD check! It is the same reason becase the cobra widowmaker option exist!
To fail an order is NOT an option for a ship that relies fully in it as Vipers
Am I wrong if I say that another ship so order-dependant doesn't exist? Come on, Vipers cannot even ram for absurd, they have the lowest armour of the game! They only can reload ordnances all the game at the best

I know I'm getting into this pretty late but it took me a while to slog though this thread.

Nate, I know people have supposed one thing or another but I'd like to hear it from you.  Is this list supposed to represent Bakka pre or post Circe?  It seems a bit muddled.  If it's pre Circe then some fluff needs changing.  If it's post Circe then at the very least Rath needs to go and honestly I just don't see the whole battlefleet being replaced in 250 years.

Any particular reason the Overlord isn't in the list?  It was in both previous incarnations and seems to be a good fit.

Any thoughts on allowing a Chaos cruiser as a reserve into the fleet to hint at the Cardinal without actually making up a new ship?  It would give the Mercury something that could keep up with it.  My suggestion would be the Murder

Was any thought put into a significantly different fleet build style rather than cruisers allow battlecruisers and both allow battleships?  I have some ideas that I think might be approprate.

The overlord would use the exact same model as the Torp Mercury, which would be confusing.
