Part 3 will come as soon as I am done writing it up and will include illustrative battle reports as well as a discussion on tactics for squadrons in general. This whole adventure has been very illuminating for me and I hope I can pass on some useful information! 
Very nice! You've got me thinking about how to better build a carrier fleet now.

Additional pylons required.
Not bad. I used to use my Vic-1 as a carrier...though I dropped Flight Controllers for Gunnery Team to pull some of my investment out of requiring the enemy to field fighters. With Gunnery Team I can drop that extra die from Flight Controllers out of my ship..which is pretty useful when countering named pilots (can't brace away a single damage). In fighter-light-opponent games I can hope to double-tap with my Vic-1 front arc. More testing is needed
Looking forward to Wave 2 to give is more squad options though. ISDs will make stellar carriers.
