So, have been chewing on a idea for a list after playing a few games last night.

So, I want to include Mon Mothma and 2 corvettes as escorts and as activation controlling/mitigators. However, I also want one to either have Leia, or have the Ramus+Tantitive combo. Recently I have been using the Leia corvette, and I have found that it is not as effective as I thought, often the corvette needs to fight for its life in 300 point games, and needs to activate before the Assault Frigate does.

Otherwise, no/very little points invested in them at all.

I also want to include 3 Assault Frigates, and Jan with 2 escorts (either YT-1300's, A's, or X's).

But it always adds up to be too expensive!

Maybe I should drop a AFMrk2A to a Neb or something. If I were gonna take a neb, it would be the escort for anti-fighter duty, and redemption for that area buff to engineering commands.

What do you guys think?

Hmm, so I am thinking:

Assault Frigate Mrk2 A

• Gunnery Team
• Point-Defense Reroute
• Electronic Countermeasures
• Enhanced Armament

Assault Frigate Mrk2 B

• Mon Mothma
• Paragon
• Sensor Team
• Advanced Projectors
• Enhanced Armament

Assault Frigate Mrk2 A

• Gunnery Team
• Enhanced Armament

CR90 A

• Tantive IV
• Raymus Antilles

CR90 B

• Jaina's Light
• Leia Organa

34 points over, need to trim it down and drop some stuff

I would consider either dropping the 3rd AF down to a Neb-B with Redemption (and a few more things), or dropping all the EA's, and PDR. The latter course would involve the least change in tactics...

This list is lacking squadrons

Drop CR90B - I just find it never gets it's points worth of value back, falls over too easy.

Drop Gunnery Team, probably isn't worth it I've seen a lot of people use it but almost never get to trigger it.

Drop Point Defense - not worth it in the current "Low squadron meta"

Drop All Armaments - 10 points for 1 dice is not worth it IMO.

I would run it like this:

Mrk2A Intel Officer + XI7

Mrk2A Intel officer + XI7

XI7 stops their redirect - well except 1 or 3 points max if they run Adv projectors.

Mrk2B Mon Mothma, Paragon, (Optional Gunnery but I am against it I'd rather have Raymus or another Intel officer here), Advanced Projectors, H9 Turbolaser or XI7 - Or even XX9 for Double crits as if you throw 2 blacks from Paragon + Concentrate you will likely have a Crit to trigger it off.

CR90A Raymus (Again rather have him on the Whale but I can see why he'd be good here) H9 Turbolasers, Tantive IV title.

2x A-wing - just to tie up enemy figher/bomber balls.

400 Points.

I would rather replace the CR90A with Neb-B Support refit, Salvation and H9 and Raymus. This does mean dropping Gunnery team/Intel off of one of the Mrk2's and changing one of the A's to a B. Also runs at 395 for a Bit for Initative.
