I have always felt very interested in the boss fights in PG and I really think we should have some more of these without story missions and with nice rewards, but what is the best ships you can have in your squadron when fighting some of these?

We have so many new classes in the game as of now so what would be the best thing?

The most basic squad I could come up with would be this one:

Tank (Tanking)
Storm (Damaging)
Storm (Damaging)
Shock (Disable + Damage/Support + Tanking)
Engineer (Heal)

I will explain, we all know the tank is best for taking the damage, taunt makes the boss attack them and with the many defensive abilities such as Shield and Aim Scrambler it can be hard to get down.

2 Storms will probably be the damage dealers, they have to get out damage quickly and hard, that's their job, nothing else, think about it, Aim PC, Rockets and Thermo on you by 2 ships is gonna hurt.

Of course, even with all the defensive abilities and maybe the AoE damage of the boss, your team is gonna get hurt and a Engineer is required to keep your squadron alive.

Then the strangest role in your squadron: The Shock - The shock has a bit of every thing, is the tank low on health, use your aggrobeacon to tank. Your speed actuator is much more useful on your allies to buff them up as it will speed up their weapon systems and finally, you have your stuns to disable the boss.

But with the new ships added in Sol and Draconis a load of new combinations can be made, a few examples:

Storm (Tanking + Damaging)
Sniper (Damaging)
Sniper (Damaging)
Shock (Disable + Damage/Support + Tanking)
Engineer (Heal)

While a tank is great to have around, it can be replaced by a shock and a storm, the heavy armor of the storm is a good substitute to have around and the shock can help. The snipers deliver most of the direct damage in the back ground with sniper blasters etc.

Defender (Tanking + Damaging + Support)
Storm (Damaging)
Storm (Damaging)
Storm (Damaging)
Shock (Disable + Damage/Support + Tanking)

Or maybe try this, Defenders are nice tanks, have a heal and have a great team buff. 3 storms will definitely deliver a load of damage and a shock to finish it off.

I would love to see your oppinions about what might be the best squadron of ships to have around, there are millions and with the added hybrid thingies we can do even more crazy stuff.

Insted of raven add 2 ghosts or 2 raiders
keneyte rep feild is the best thing ever in sirius, idk if its a bug, but it seems to do just as good as rep target, and 2 of those will be amazing^^

Whatever

whichever combination of damage dealing ships you use, you wont get it wrong. personally, i prefer having an engi in squad in sirius because no matter how good you are, situation can mess up if those smaller mantis come while squad is fighting a boss. not all people have ultimate memberships, tons of energy or gold for support energy hence i love having an engi for it's materializer. healing items come in handy of course. my $0.02 on the issue. :cool:

and anti-stun.

personally i think the best squad is

Engineer - Heal
Engineer - Heal
Shock - Weaken enemy - Speed up
Storm - Acurate hits - Shielded enemies
Sniper - Quick Bursts of lots of damage

however in sirius you could have

Engineer - Heal
Engineer - Heal
Myst - Stun - Damaging - Tanking
Ghost - Shielded enemies - Heal - Speed up - tanking
Punisher - Damage

The raven is a fail however you have to use it in combo with another class of ship. Like Raven + Ghost or Raven + Punisher.
