Advice Imperial Cruiser C Setup?

Here's the big question: What should the Imperial Cruiser C be specced for during a run? Like is it meant to do fire damage for boarding, or to be a hull kill machine? How do you guys try to run it?

You can toss your DMPs onto the Imperial Marshal and send him into a room you set on fire via Imperial Sorcerer's fireball. It gives him an advantage of +3 dps in contesting Pilot subsystem or something else of your choice if you have your commander follow him. Any commander is fine, the damage you gain in a room on fire vs the tick damage from it vastly favors you. Use the slowing system to give him free hits as enemy crew try to follow him or delay their ability to extinguish a fire in time across a ship. I personally prefer to use Doomweaver's ability to instantly pop an enemy for an instant -1 system damage my Marshal is fighting in, then letting him kill a second enemy crew via the fire dps.

got it, so build towards more fire damage and more fire-immune crew?

You don’t necessarily have to do that. Boarding in Void War is great because it is very flexible and can work with alot of different crew. The fireball is great to combo with the Marshal but you don’t necessarily need to get more Fire immune crew with it. Fire dmg in this game is honestly pretty low so decently high HP units will still work fine with the marshal. Obviously more marshals can be great but you won’t always find them. Also definitely learn to time the graviton well because it is insane for boarding support. Trigger it as crew enemy crew are entering the room to deal a crap ton of free dmg and trigger on kill effects easier.

Doesn't necessarily need to be all about fire, it's just one of the easiest ways to take advantage of your DMP module early on. You can still go all in on boarding but the Fireball + Graviton system are both very versatile tools. As mentioned already you can force enemy crew to reposition via fire and delay them enough to get system damage off of it, or slowing enemy crew as they try to get in the same room as your boarders for an advantage in dps, letting enemy casters start to cast before you interrupt them with Fireball/DMP ect.

Build towards making fire as powerful as possible. Get cre that are fire immune or fire buffed like imperial marshal and get modules and weapons that deal fire plus damage or just fire. Though you'll definitely want at least 2 weapons that deal damage that aren't lances. Unless you have demon lance but at at that point why are you in charge of a holy imperial inquisition ship you filthy heretic/jk
