So this is my first try on this. After playing for three weeks with mostly ineffective results, I tried this yesterday.

Escort Frigate:

XX-9 Turbolasers

Weapons Liaison

Escort Frigate:

Salvation

XX-9 Turbolasers

Weapons Liaison

Assault Dolphin

Paragon

Garm Bel Iblis

H9 Turbolasers

Intel Officer

4 X A-Wing Squadrons

I chose Hyperspace Assault, Dangerous Territory, and Opening Salvo as my objectives. This comes in at 298 points.

My alternate had Point Defense Reroute on the dolphin, 4 Y-Wing Squadrons, and Precision Strike

I played a game with each list once yesterday. The first game was with the Y-Wing teams. We pulled Hyperspace Assault. I managed to kill a Gladiator and a VSD and win. The Y-Wings really didn't do too much but die, but they did keep some fighters focused for a turn or three. Hyperspace Assault really didn't do too much, sadly.

The second game never got past turn 5 as the game store closed. That one was blue on blue with the A-Wing teams. I gained air superiority, and killed the Space Dolphin. I lost an Escort, and the opponents Corvettes were coming around the flank,

So List wise, I kinda like it.

How did the xx-9's work out for you? I think I would go with 17's but I'm intrigued by the crit potential.

Drop a Frigate to a Corvette and pick up some Bombers.

you should list your Afmkii variant when you post lists (only the B can fit, but still

anyway,

I don't agree with xx-9s without some form of guarantee, or just in general. I find x-17s to be far more useful for just 1 more point since those actually open up damage against the hull instead of getting redirected to shields.

Without general D, there's really not much reason for the xx-9s

I also don't think those weapons liasons will be doing much for you. Chucking them and downing the Salvation to a support-refit will get your x-17s and Raymus "badass motherf****er" Antilles, which gives you both an extra die and a re-roll every-time you concentrate fire to fish for crits.

the final tally also gives you 3 more points for the initiative bid

The XX9's seemed to work reasonably well. The initial idea was to use Dodonna. Maybe I should revisit that. I like the 17 idea. I'll take a relook and rejigger the list a bit. I'll have to playtest.
