Been trying to set up a Flight Deck using the ISD I but feel like I am not getting it correct. Anyone that runs an ISD I flight Deck have any suggestions on things I should change?

That. That's what needs to Change.

You've got Boosted Comms and Expanded Hanger, and a perpetual Squadron Token on the ISD-I if you want it...

and you barely have enough squadrons to justify having an ISD in the first place.

Drop the Second Gladiator. Demo up the first Gladiator. If you want to continue with the Victory-II as it is, then that's cool - but that's another four Bombers you could be pushing around... Dump all those points into Bombers...

Bombers Bombers Bombers.

Bombers.

And when you're tired of Bombers...

Firesprays...

... Bombers, dammit.

In a hold pattern on Bombers right know. Waiting on my shipment of them to get in. So for now all I have is 4 bombers and a firespray. So once the Bombers get in this is what my ISD set up should look like?

Before I comment on your build I was wondering why 450? That's a rather random number when standard is 400.

I'd drop the Vic-II to a I and buff the Gladiator to a II. Then move Leading Shots to the ISD and use the points saved for a bid or maybe upgrade something else. Mind you that these suggestions are based on personal bias. My Vic's either never reach Blue range or are right into Black. And I like the extra AS and reach of the Glad II. I've sniped plenty of flanking ships with that single Red. Hell, I wish it was the same as the bow but that's life.

House rules is the 450 build. We have been looking over 500 point builds but I feel on a 3x3 table 500 will be a little tight

I will look into those suggestions. Very good points to consider

Ok so got my Bombers in and here is the updated list. Any other Changes?

3 TIE Advanced Squadrons ( 36 points)

I'd drop one of the TIE Advanced for a second Jumpmaster. That will dramatically increase your Intel coverage and give you a better chance of locking down enemy squadrons.

So my first game with this set up was good, but I did feel a little naked with the lack of escort fighter. I did win the game with Round 3 being the big show for the bombers tabling 2 ship out of 5 ships and later in round 4 sending another ship to the grave yard forcing my opposition to wave the white flag. I think my deployment of my bombers,fighters and ships could have been better.

Is it just better to drop all the Bombers in the middle of my deployment?

keep them spread out like I have them?
