As a departure from my usual squadron-heavy lists, I thought I'd go for a swarm-type list instead. Would appreciate some feedback as I'm not experienced with this type of list (very rare in my meta).

Mothma Swarm

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 388/400

Commander: Mon Mothma

Assault Objective: Opening Salvo
Defense Objective: Hyperspace Assault
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions

MC30c Scout Frigate (69 points)
- Foresight ( 8 points)

MC30c Scout Frigate (69 points)
- Advanced Projectors ( 6 points)

CR90 Corvette A (44 points)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)

CR90 Corvette A (44 points)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)

[ flagship ] CR90 Corvette A (44 points)
- Mon Mothma ( 30 points)
- Jainas Light ( 2 points)

1 Han Solo ( 26 points)
2 YT-2400s ( 32 points)

As you can see, its a list built for survival (all ships have double evade to make the most of Mothma's ability), but also also chucking out lots of small attacks. The low initiative bid means I should get to go first most/all of the time, and with 5 ships I will hopefully get first and last activation.

The TRC-90s guarantee hits/crits as required and will stay at long range where possible. The shrimps are there to deal the big hits: fly in close on last activation, then activate first next round for maximum attack and then get out of range. With their defensive upgrades, the shrimps should also survive a couple of attacks when necessary.

The squadrons are there mainly to tie up enemy squadrons. I don't expect to win the squadron game against fighter-heavy lists, just delay them long enough to take out squadron support or key ships.

I debated where to put Mon Mothma. Although Foresight is a tough nut to crack, its potentially going to be in more fire arcs. Whereas Jaina's Light can stay at range (and not suffer blocked attacks).

I think you made the right call slapping Mon Mothma on Jaina's Light. Foresight is actually a very easy nut to crack if the ship shooting it is rocking XI7s. Against XI7s Admonition is actually much better.

The MC30s really need ordnance experts as they will usually get one or two salvoes off a game - you want to maximize the damage output reliably. Otherwise when they whiff, they really get hurt by the return fire. Dropping Han gives you more points for things like OE, Admonition, and TRCs for Jainas light.

Yeah I would like more upgrades (and don't have a 3rd TRC), but not sure if 2 YT2400s will be enough to stall enemy squadrons (if I drop Han)?

If doing attack runs with the MC30s rather than dancing around at long range then save points by dropping them for torpedo variants.

This gets you points for 2 sets of Ordnance Experts and ether Admonition or upgrade a YT-2400 to Dash.

Definitely worth considering. My thoughts were that I would stay at long range when possible, then make attack runs from long range. However, Ordnance Experts coupled with blue dice (more Accuracies) might make them more effective. And Dash is amazing (he pretty much won me the last game I played by hunting down a Gladiator to finish it off).

as Mad Cat said, you are probably better served with the torp frigate + oe.

I tried two mc30s also, but in the end found it better to have 4 corvettes and just one mc30. Having said that, its not unlikely that you just fly them better

OK, here is a modified version with torp frigates:

Mothma swarm V2

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 390/400

Commander: Mon Mothma

Assault Objective: Opening Salvo
Defense Objective: Hyperspace Assault
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions

MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63 points)
- Foresight ( 8 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)

MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Advanced Projectors ( 6 points)

CR90 Corvette A (44 points)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)

CR90 Corvette A (44 points)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)

[ flagship ] CR90 Corvette A (44 points)
- Mon Mothma ( 30 points)

1 Han Solo ( 26 points)
1 Dash Rendar ( 24 points)
1 YT-2400 ( 16 points)

I dropped Jaina's Light to get the points down to 390, but that won't guarantee me the bid in my meta (chances are good, just not 100%). However, Dash does mean my squadron game will be better, and the shrimps should be more reliable.
