So currently the "meta" is full of YT-1300's and soon it will include the YT-2400, i really like the VT-49 and it's taken a while to find a good combination of pilots and upgrades to make an effective list. i tried Oicunn and found him lack luster, then Kenkirk was ok but didn't do enough damage. Then i tried Chiraneau and i really found a good Decimator.Now the point of this list is to hit really hard on one ship per turn.it can in theory destroy a ship per turn or a YT in 2 turns.

Rear Adm.Chiraneau +Expose+Moff Jerjerrod+Intelligence Agent+Experimental Interface=56

Col.Vessery+Veteran Instincts+HLC=43

after playtesting the list i found a new respect for the Defender.

Two-ship builds seem really fragile to me, no matter what two ships they are.

I don't think there's much of a point in building a squad featuring Wave V ships to deal with the current meta. The meta will change when everyone has Wave V ships. If you're playing your squad right now against players who don't have Wave V ships, they're not going to take their losses from it very seriously. They'll be back when Wave V is in general release and probably have a good answer for it.
