I have been looking at what might make for a fun (the whole point of the game) but competitive list that uses some wave 1 and some wave 2 ships and I am really liking this set up.

Where would you see it suffering and why?

Boosted comms? Why, it looks to my like your squadrons are defensive.

Its a strong list and will evolve over time with turbolaser changes etc, but nothing overwhelmingly obvious. Personal choice and style really.

Boosted Comms was in there to allow me to protect my other ships if needed as well. The alternate was Ordnance Experts for the MC-80.

... I sincerely hope those X-Wings are painted Blue...

@Drasnighta: That was **** funny :-)

Are you expecting to activate them more than once? How will you know when to use the squadron command on the MC80?

I agree, boosted comms doesn't seem to really fit. But if you drop it and change Rapid Reload to APTs for more reliable and potentially deadlier damage, you can then afford an Intel officer on the MC80.

As for weaknesses, I have toyed with similar fleet builds on paper, but I am very worried about their actual performance against large swarms of squadrons. In a ship-to-ship shootout, this stands a good chance of busting the Imps, but there isn't much counter for the fireball. If you figure out a good answer, let me know! ;-)
