Need help picking a Rebel list

By rmb43, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Hi all. I would really appreciate your input regarding the following lists. Which is the best overall, and why? They are all similar builds, but the tweaks are pretty important, I think. List 1 squeezes in an extra X-wing. List 2 gives better damage and anti-squadron ability to Ackbar's ship and gives better squadron range for the carrier Frigate. List 3 increases durability at the cost of speed and one Gunnery Team. Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts here!

List 1:

Assault Frigate MkII B w/ Ackbar, Gunnery Team, Electronic Countermeasures, XI7 Turbolasers

Assault Frigate MkII B w/ Gunnery Team, Electronic Countermeasures, XI7 Turbolasers

Assault Frigate MkII B w/ Raymus Antilles, Expanded Hangerbay, Gunnery Team, Electronic Countermeasures, XI7 Turbolasers

X-wing Squadron

I prefer list 1 the best.

Bomber lists are the main threat and the extra fighter and the ability of Ray + hangers to activate all 5 fighters is nice.

I think I would swap out Gunnery team on the carrier for Flight controllers to win the fighter battle quickly so you can switch to bombing.

Thanks for the suggestion! Flight controllers would be very good on the carrier frigate- I hadn't really considered that one. That would bring list #1 down to 396 points- enough to add Lando to the Ackbar ship. Worth it? I struggle with the whole initiative bid thing- some opponents I play are always at 400, while others have a 12+ point bid....
