I looked at a similar list. My only concern would be the lack of ECM's to protect your Brace.

Yes ECM is nice, but I need the points for do my two ISD more dangerous.

Or drop two ties

I don't know... I think about drop two ties, but at the moment I want 8 for deployment advantage. Maybe when I play this list I will be able to do this changes.

So thank you for your comments (both)

Oh okay. Most opponents would deploy assuming your two ships will be together because if they are far apart they can focus one down without the other supporting. So just be wary of that.

Otherwise good luck sir

I see this being a really tough list to fly. Full disclosure: I haven't tried the OP/Avenger combo myself. But with only two ships and completely telegraphed activation order, you're kind of setting yourself up for exploitation. That said, the 1-2 turns when you actually get that shot, it's going to fscking annihilate something every time. I'd probably spam nav commands with this list to make sure you get them where you want them for that 1-2 punch. That'll do you more good than squadrons or even eng probably will.

And I agree with Iro, you really want to find some fat to trim to get ECM on those, IMO. You have to fly them aggressively to get full use out of them, you don't have a large bid, and even if you did you won't be 1-shotting much with the way you're built for the second-activation kill. That means you're going to be eating some shots, for which you'll be glad you had those ECMs. My recommendation wouuld be to drop the Intel Officer and Needa's Phylon Q7. There's not much you'll need to slow down by a lot, especially when you're spamming nav (remember how you're spamming nav?).

But that's just, like, my opinion, man.
