I would drop gallant haven and upgrade the HWK to Jan. Her braces lent out to your squadrons mean the X-Wings will last longer than with GH and you are free to roam about more.

The extra point saved can add to your initiative bid or I like skilled first officer on the MC80b. He lets you alternate nav/fire commands in early turns and then put in a repair or two around turn 4.

Ok, so it seems I misinterpreted Fire Control Teams thinking that I could have the defender flip an additional face-up card as long as it was a different critical effect, i.e. I couldnt force two Structural Damage cards. So I replaced SW-7 & Spinal with Overlaod Pulse & XX-9.

The cat is right. Your squadron group needs Jan. She's just too good, and she's a good combination with Gallant Haven. I don't think your AFMK-II needs XI7 at all. now if you put them on the Mon Karren and can focus down the same hull zone, that's a good combo. For the BC, I'd just run Leading Shots. OL pulse isn't going to do much for you and SW_7 is less needed with the lower pool of blues. Maybe XI7 instead of Mon Karren. Otherwise, this is a serious list that would make me sweat to play against, so good job!

So I made the changes, added Jan, moved some stuff around. I completely removed XI-7 fron the AF, added Medical Team to the BC. Question, shoul I keep Spinal in the BC, or replace it with XI-7?

I wouldn't worry with it if your main goal is with squads. However I would still get rid of Gallant Haven and the Medical Team to save up some points and then throw on XI-7's. In my experience my squads are almost never in distance 1 of Gallant Haven so it becomes useless, but that is just my experience and my opinion.

My two cents:

With your last list, I would get rid of Gallant Haven from the AF and add HTT (save 2pts). It will limit defensive token use when it attacks. Also get rid of Medical Team from MK (save 1pt). Take those 3pts and put Leia on your transport so you can change the top command dial on the MK or the AF if you need a Eng command suddenly or if you get slicer tooled by your opponent.

I LOVE spinal armament on a Battle Cruiser!!!

Its like your in my head ive been thinking of a list just like this but a Neb over the AF

Edited by X Wing Nut

I originally had a Neb, but ive had bad luck with them so I changed it to an AF

So here is the final cut, all good suggestions and I think with this I should be all set.
