Looking to lose another 6-10 points for a solid initiative bid as my objectives all favor second player, as does the build otherwise imho, namely Defiance. Could be open to rethink squadrons too, but a YT2400 brick sounds like a lot of fun.

Thanks in advance.

Personally I favour ECM over Advanced Projectors as ECM will ensure you can get your brace token in play. Think about an Alpha strike from an ISD. In fact grab your dice and throw down a few 4 blue + 4 red handfuls. You're gonna want to Brace that.

The argument then becomes Advanced Projectors vs Redundant Shields. If your lead MC-80 is gonna pull a "Battlestar Pegasus" then I'm thinkin you're gonna need APs to move damage all over your ship.

Engineering team takes you from 4 to 5 Engineering value which will let you create 2 shields and move 1. Assuming you have APs installed you've already distributed the damage to where you want it so it will be less likely you need to move any shields so I think that is somewhere where you could save points.

Also not sure if you want Ackbar in the lead ship.

I'd strip it down to essentials and amp up to the Assault Cruisers. There's 16 pts for you to toy with. Also, could replace the YTs with 5 or 6 X or A wings.

I would add in leading shots, to re roll those red blanks.
