Superior Positions (Navigation) strategies and fleets

This one I doubt I'll ever bring as an Imperial until they have more small ships. Bring on the Raider!

This objective seems the most lack luster to me. It just makes players go all-out in deployment rather than taking turns.

It heavily favors squadron builds as well, as they are the only ones able to reliably get in rear arc shots.

This one is card I may put in my deck.

If you end up deploying first here is there any reason not to just put all ships in one corner? This would give some natural protection to the rear.

I actually feel that this and minefields are the only two navigation imperial fleet will bring, they don't lose a lot from this, and it doesn't actually create a huge penalty for they're speed. Navigation is definitely one of their weak points, so I see this as a best of the worst for them. I don't think rebels will actually want to take it as it only slightly benefits their style, with the rear attacks. Taking the ambush or hyperspace card are far better for they're necessity to divide and conquer

During asteroid placement you would want to place asteroids blocking them coming out of their corners.
