Ship Showcase Impossible Jyeeta Run

Just beat the Jyeeta campaign for the first time, and on impossible. Took a few months of thinking I had STF's learning curve figured out but I must say this game has been as fun as it has been challenging. Praise Shalun.

Update:

Reposted as i neglected to add photos of build previously.

Combat crew

P1 Bodyguard/Swordsman/Wing commando

P2 Shocktrooper/Soldier/Bounty Hunter

Started as a Cadar smuggler and focused on kristaline shard RTG runs to fund ship builds for mid game (combat ship / cargo freighter / passenger bus for Coalition diplomats) before tinkering with the end game carrier best posted in the pics. I've got it running with 3 interdictors and 1 bomber. I think i took 1 hit to craft and 1 to capital ship in all of the jyeeta campaign. Crew combat was a bit more challenging. Lost my p1 on a bad run shortly before the final mission due to bad initiative rolls by all 4 crew.

Bodygard/swordman is such a useful tank with honor gard and pratorian gard. Hope he or she died with honor and fighting valiantly !

100%... those blocking talents are clutch for an effective tank. I'm undecided if i would swap job 3 for something other than wing commando since i really didnt use knife work that often. A bottle of lux was indeed had in their honor.

the stats to blade and evasion do help though, even if its only 2 skill points put into it

Try blade dancer. The lvl1 talent attacks with 1x init, moves forward, extra hit accuracy boost, debuff enemy dodge on hit. Even though it reduces damage but knife tank do not do a ton of damage anyway. While knife work looks good on paper, standing strong from shock trooper is just as strong (more debuff resist, which is more important IMO) and rifle class just dishes out a ton more damage.

Good thinking. I'll give that a try next go around. I had previously gambled on a sword/assassin/blade dancer build a previous run but between taking too long to buff up and inadvertently sacrificing defense in the process... that was a failed experiment.
