I hate to keep asking about lists but I started initially playing rebel lists and doing ok.

When I switched to playing imperials, I started losing a lot more because my previous strategy of using fewer but more built ships doesn't work as well. It doesn't take much to blast a nice interceptor out of the sky.

So how does this sounds or what changes should I make? I'm guessing my strategies need a design change when I play as imperials.

Why do you have Maarek Stele in there? IF you use him you really want to give him a way to get more criticals otherwise you should probably be looking at something else. For 29 points I'd rather use a Royal Guard Pilot with Shield and Hull upgrades although I'd even give a Saber w/ Shield an edge at 25 points.

What are you doing with Squad Leader? It will only work on one of the Academy Pilots.

Honestly, I'm not sure what to say. The PtL Saber can be a useful ship and APs are often used for various things but I wonder what your overall goal is.
