Since I'm so sure I'm not going to win, I thought I'd post my contest entry/thoughts.
Man, it was hard to not exclusively build around the Liberty! The sucker's so huge, and the double TL slots so tempting... it kept turning into a Christmas tree until I started building the Liberty last.
If I didn't have to stick the battlecruiser in there, I probably would have gone with some weird Independence/Yavvy FTC b-wing abuser list. (Pass the B's please!)
Anyways, I built a fleet around being able to punish no/light squadron builds, occupy air superiority builds, and abuse Madine to do some Fast and the Furious: Endor Drift antics with ye olde winger-pickle. Plus, a Jaina's Light TRC, 'cause, you know, it just rocks.
Yavaris plus new fighter upgrades lets you move speed 1 and still double tap (well, at least for two fighters: particularly in a fighter furball, doubling the x's output on the alpha I'm sure would do a lot in the contest as well as having the luxury of flakking the enemy first).
The transport is there for bomber re-rolls. I was trying to fit Toryn Farr in there somewhere for double-reroll, 3 b-wing double tap fun, but alas, too many other juicy things.
