Or how about some calamari garnished with a couple shrimp?

Here's a list I just ginned up. I want to run an MC-80 based list for the firepower, with minimal squadron support. I have no experience with any of the new ships and would love some input, suggestions, etc., consistent with the basic theme.

MC-80 Assault

Ackbar

Intel Officer

Engine Techs

ECM

MC-30 Scout

Foresight

Gunnery Teams

TLC

MC-30 Torpedo

XX-9

Jan Ors

Dash Rendar

2x A-Wings

Objs: TBD

I plan to run in line formation, probably Scout-80-Torpedo. The 30s, especially the Torpedo, can close tighter with the enemy to use their black dice, possibly shooting the line if necessary or at least preventing something from crossing in front of my formation.

My squadrons are basically there to prevent a large enemy bomber attack. I figure they have enough staying power and attriting power to slow down an enemy squadron attack for a turn or two--enough with my ships hopefully running at speed 3 (Nav Tech on the 80) to minimize a bomber attack.

Any thoughts on better upgrades/combos/synergies? I did consider dropping Ackbar because he doesn't help the Torpedo, possibly going with Rieekan (especially since I have two named squadrons), and freeing up eight more points.

Just a reminder, you won't be able to stop rhymer if he is backed up by Intel. The only way to stop him at that point is to either take out the Intel squadron or rhymer. So you may want to plan on being able to take him or the Intel squadron out in a single activation or accept that you'll being taking squadron fire.

True. I won't be able to stop a large bomber attack, just mitigate it with my minimal squadrons.

Any other thoughts on the list, especially my MC-30 builds?
