We now know enough about the MC80 for me to make my gunnery focused build. Based on Moff Zen's Intel, I'm estimating Ackbar at around 35 points. Chew on these tasty broadsides:

80 Assault Cruiser (114)
Admiral Ackbar (~35)
Home One (7)
Enchanced Armaments (10) XI7 Turbolasers (6)
ECMs (or maybe the new defensive retrofit) (7)
Advanced Projectors (6)
Engine Techs (8)

Intel Officer (7)

Assault Frigate Mark IIB (72)
Enchanced Armaments (10)

XI7 Turbolasters (6)

Slaved Turrets (?)
Advanced Projectors (6)

Assault Frigate Mark IIB (72)

Enchanced Armaments (10)

XI7 Turbolasters (6)

Slaved Turrets (?)
Advanced Projectors (6)

Tycho (16)
2x A-Wings (11 22)

Objectives:
Advanced Gunnery (I DARE YOU)
Fire Lanes
Dangerous Territory

~389 points before Slaved Turrets

Wow that is one pricey flagship you have there...

I count it as 193 I think, WOW!

Look forward to duelling this sort of list with my ISD! That is a very nasty conga line, although quite light on fighters.

The more we're finding out, the more I'm thinking of dropping the Intel Officer and Enhanced Armaments. Slaved Turrets sounds like it's going to synergize well with Ackbar since you'll only be using one arc anyway. According to Moff Zen, the Slaved Turrets will be an offensive retrofit that allows you to move one die from one arc to another. That means I could ditch the Enhanced Armaments and grab XI7s for likely a similar cost and no loss in dice output. With the MC80 already pumping out 6 dice, I could see going down to XI7s on it as well.

I am definitely nervous about the light fighter support as well as the number of points invested in Home One. I don't see a better place for Ackbar. Putting him on one of the Assault Frigates makes him more vulnerable and still makes for a 123+ flagship. I also can't pass up the double defensive retrofits or the engine techs in this build. It makes him tanky as hell, but lets him keep up with the other Assault Frigates. I'm not totally sold on the ECMs for 7 points, so maybe the new defensive retrofit will be more interesting (and cheaper). I've seen Tycho do well at tying up large numbers of fighters on his own, but that was prior to Intel getting added to the game. I would prefer to add at least another A-Wing. We'll see how things end up when we have all the details, but I've edited the original list to reflect the potential changes.
