In the creeky old Starfleet Battles game, there's a ship type called the DNL, or Light-Raiding Dreadnought, it's a ship that doesn't have as much firepower as a standard dreadnought, but still has massive firepower and can go quickly behind enemy lines and hit priority targets. This ship inspired me into trying a leaner MC80 that has tremendous movement potential and still utilizes the forward firepower. Madine was a natural choice to command a ship like that, and I also wanted to try MC30s with Madine as well.

It may be a strange list, but as in any game I am more interested in "fluffly" lists than in competition (I would not put an Admiral Officer on a Gonzanti for example):

I know. It was more of a technical exercise to get as much speed reducing kit into a list.

I could drop a VSD-I for a slicer tools Gozanti, 4 Tie Interceptors and Titus.

Easy. Scrambler interdictor and 2 VSD for imperials, Liberty and 3 Nebs for rebels. Simple face-punching lists have to be done before anything fancy.

I had a very bad fortnight, which means, I went from having a shot at getting 2x of everything, to only owning a single GR75 pack...

SO!

I basically like the idea of a nimble Cracken fleet that also has lots of titles(Admonition, Foresight, Bright Hope) to mitigate damage. It does a lot toughen the fleet up against smaller attacks. And flotillas allow a fleet of small ships that can still shepherd squadrons well.

Por ejemplo, an ISD-II shoots a long range attack at Bright Hope at speed 3. Well immediately the attack is down to 3 red dice. Then even if they have an accuracy for the Scatter, I Evade one of the dice, and then Bright Hope just cancels another damage. Now obviously it doesn't make them invincible, and large dice pools will still overwhelm them, but I think the combination of commander and titles will make for a tough little fleet that still puts out good damage.

The first list I am going to play is my wave 2 GenCon list against a guy I know had been playing with wave 3 and 4 for a while, so that I have a baseline comparison of how my existing fleet works in the new meta.

That said, I'm excited to try the Liberty and a number of Rebel squadron builds.

Something like...

I love Admocalrissian.

And ard loves swarms of middling ships

And ard loves swarms of middling ships

Can't say I disagree with him. My first list (I started at the beginning of wave 2 because I didn't really like wave 1 ships for rebs) was 5 raiders. I worked so hard to get them to work...I mean really hard.
