I'm trying to decide between the following two builds for a store tournament coming up. I had a lot of fun and did well with the 2 Vic Rhymer list in wave 1, so I don't have as much experience flying ships that can actually maneuver yet.
+++ New Roster (393pts) +++
++ Imperial Navy (Standard) (393pts) ++
Gladiator I-Class Star Destroyer (90pts) [Assault Proton Torpedoes (5pts), Engine Techs (8pts), Intel Officer (7pts), Ordnance Experts (4pts), •Demolisher (10pts)]
Gladiator I-Class Star Destroyer (76pts) [Expanded Launchers (13pts), Ordnance Experts (4pts), •Insidious (3pts)]
+ Imperial Star Destroyer (157pts) +
Imperial II-Class Star Destroyer (157pts) [Electronic Countermeasures (7pts), Heavy Turbolaser Turrets (6pts), Leading Shots (4pts), •Admiral Ozzel (20pts)]
+ Squadrons (70pts) +
Aggressor Assault Fighter (16pts)
Firespray-31 x3(54pts)
+ Objectives +
Assault Objective [Advanced Gunnery]
Defense Objective [Hyperspace Assault]
Navigation Objective [superior Positions]
I would love to be able to add an Intel Officer to the Insidious as well, but I think this list really needs the initiative bid. I'm also not sold on the squadrons for it.
Or this build:
+++ 2isd (394pts) +++
++ Imperial Navy (Standard) (394pts) ++
+ Imperial Star Destroyer (280pts) +
Imperial I-Class Star Destroyer (159pts) [boosted Comms (4pts), Expanded Hangar Bay (5pts), Heavy Turbolaser Turrets (6pts), •Admiral Chiraneau (10pts), •Admiral Motti (24pts)]
·Imperial I-Class Star Destroyer (121pts) [Expanded Hangar Bay (5pts), Flight Controllers (6pts)]
+ Squadrons (114pts) +
TIE Advanced Squadron x2 (24pts)
TIE Bomber Squadron x4 (36pts)
TIE Interceptor Squadron x2 (22pts)
•"Howlrunner" (16pts)
·•Major Rhymer (16pts)
·+ Objectives +
Assault Objective [Precision Strike]
Defense Objective [Contested Outpost]Navigation Objective [superior Positions]

I figure this has enough bombers to be threatening but also enough fighters to take down a group of Firesprays. I realize an argument can be made for Dengar over Chiraneau, but couldn't quite fit the points in for him without losing an INT or Howlrunner.
I'm looking for any insight and critiques on both lists.
