A local store had to reschedule their Massing at Sullust event and push it two weeks back, to this Sunday! Naturally, I am thrilled that I actually get to go to a Sullust event, and would love a quick fleet critique of the list I plan to take.
295 Points

CR90 Corvette B Dodonna's Pride
CR90 Corvette B

I apologize, I am just now realizing that I probably should have posted this in the Fleet Builds forum.

True, but at least you spotted that before I could point it out!
List looks pretty solid, Mon Mothma helps out with all those evade tokens you've got access to. Projectors work well on the AF2, and Ray is right at home on it. A-Wings should be fast enough to lock down bombers and can use their speed to force your opponent to spread throughout the board in a vain effort to engage them if they bring any anti-fighter squadrons of their own.
Only thing that's missing is objectives. You've got a lot of fair choices on a list like this, but I'd look at:
Advanced Gunnery - you're already threatening death by a thousand cuts with those Corvettes and A-Wings, add another set of dice at your main target. They've got tough choices to make on defence tokens here with that many attacks when each brace/redirect is only likely to be worth a couple of points. Doubly so if they've already been hit by an Overload Pulse
Hyperspace Assault - A good way to get either your Overload Pulse or Dodonna's Pride into the flank/rear of VSDs
Dangerous Territory - Your opponent either takes damage claiming objectives before they even engage your fleet, or they ignore the objectives which allows your Corvettes to sweep round and nab them for a bundle of points
Thanks for the tip! I realize I forgot to post objectives XD I had Intel Sweep, Hyperspace Assault, and Most Wanted, but I see now the value of the ones you suggested over the ones I already had.
What do you think of dropping the Ion Cannons on the second Corvette in favor of Gunnery Team on the AF Mk.II?
Dondonna's Pride is pretty weak without Dondonna's ability.
I agree with ScottieATF and would drop Dodonna's Pride, you'll do more usful damage with regular attacks since you can't crit search. and since you dropped the Pride I'd deffinitly grab gunnery teams for the AF.
So, after some tweaking, how does this look? I have dropped Dodonna's Pride and the Overload Pulse in favor of Gunnery Team on the Guppy, upgrading one of the 'Vettes to an A, and adding Leia Organa on Jaina's Light so that the Frigate can have some flexibility which, along with Raymus, lets me change my plan at the drop of a hat, which is good because I'll be going into this tournament without having played Armada in something like two and a half months!

Objectives
The main thing I am concerned about is coming in at 297 points as opposed to 295 - I would like to go first so the Corvettes can shoot 'n scoot, but I don't really want to sacrifice anything to get to that bid. Aaaaaaaaaah decisions!
Edited by acegardWell, now that you have a gunnery team, Advanced gunnery might not be the red you want to go with. Most Wanted or Opening Salvo might fit the modified list better.
