It got me all the way to the top spot :)
Anyone have any interesting variations on the same theme?

Simple elegance to these untrained eyes. I like it. Obviously you won but how did it play having only the single turret for 360 coverage?

For all games I setup my ships in a tight formation in, or near either corner. I also tried to make a dense asteroid/debris placement in the middle of the map. By slowrolling I could usually draw in at least a few of my opponents ships in there and use the B-wings superior close range manouvers to get some advantages. The A-wing was used as a pure blocker and any shots from that was just a bonus. Esege either skirted the battlefield or stuck close to the B-wing to provide the important focus tokens. Esege wasn't the main star of the show, that award goes to the B-wings and the A-wing blocker. Esege was more of an enabler and was very useful for pinging away at priority targets such as stresshogs and Keyan.

As for turret coverage it's not really needed. By keeping it tight and manouvering carefully I almost always had a shot with Esege and at least one B-wing.
