Hi there,

So I have a couple of Imperial lists I am thinking of running but I am quite new to the game and I don't have everything down 100% yet so I could probably use a few pointers on how I can improve on the lists I have written.

First up is a dual phantom list:

Whisper (37 Points)

ACD

VI

Echo (35 Points)

ACD

VI

Wampa (14 Points)

Black Squadron Pilot (14 Points)

My idea here is that, firstly, I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket by dressing the two phantoms up to the nines as some focused fire from higher PS ships could ruin that list in a single turn. Also, I felt that 4 extra shots from a different angle may prove more valuable than re-rolls on the Phantoms from FCS or Gunner. Wampa seems to be a great way of bypassing my opponents shields (with a bit of luck) and Black Squadron seems like a decent investment for a 4th Imperial ship.

Next up is a list built around Rear Admiral Chiraneau:

RAC (56 Points)

Expose

Experimental Interface

Rebel Captive

2x Omega Squadron (2x 22 Points)

Juke

Comm Relay

So RAC is clearly the linchpin for this list and I have tried to maximise his damage output with Expose and Experiemental Interface. Hopefully he can spend most of the game working in range 2 and Rebel Captive will hopefully cause a few people problems if they decide to take shots at him.

Alongside RAC are 2 Omega Squadron Pilots who will work in tandem, finishing off anything that RAC doesn't destroy himself. Unfortunately I feel that this list may be a bit light on red dice as there are only 8 of them unless I get into range 1. RAC should be able to deal out quite a bit of damage before he is taken down but will it be enough?

Thanks for any advice you can provide!
