I've had some good success with the following list at Store Kit events but with the issue that the 2 Neb's always die. No matter how I maneuver those huge side arcs just get pummeled. It does have the benefit that the MC30's rarely ever die since the Neb's take all the attention but I wonder if there's a better option for the squadrons/carrier/other ships to replace the Neb's and squadrons.
MC30's, Salvation, Yavaris

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 392/400

Navigation Objective: Dangerous Territory
MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63 points)
- Admonition ( 8 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Assault Proton Torpedoes ( 5 points)
[ flagship ] MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63 points)
- Mon Mothma ( 30 points)
- Foresight ( 8 points)
- Lando Callriassian ( 4 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Assault Proton Torpedoes ( 5 points)
Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (57 points)
- Yavaris ( 5 points)
Nebulon-B Support Refit (51 points)
- Salvation ( 7 points)

4 X-Wing Squadrons ( 52 points)
1 Jan Ors ( 19 points)
I recently switched to Rieeken (and the Xwings for Dutch, Wedge and Tycho) to counter demolisher.
I'm considering an MC80 instead of the 2 Neb's which comes in at 128 points instead of 127 points for Yavaris/Salvation. I would also move Lando to the MC80. My concern is dropping to 3 activations might hinder the use of the MC30T's.
[ flagship ] MC80 Command Cruiser (106 points)
- General Rieekan ( 30 points)
- Defiance ( 5 points)
- Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points)
- XI7 Turbolasers ( 6 points)
- Leading Shots ( 4 points)
I could also consider:
3 MC30T's, 1 TRC90 Jainas Light with 4 YT2400's for squadron duties.
Or go squadron-less (doesn't seem a great idea given the prevalence of Rhymerballs) and run
2 MC30T's, 1 MC30S, 2 TRC90 or
2 MC30T, 4 TRC90
Any suggestions about the best route or if I've missed something?
