Blue Swarm....

.... And hope they don't have bombers.

I dunno, could it work?

My biggest concern, bombers, you are clearly aware of. The other comment I would make is why not just use SW7's? Probably works out the same, damage wise, and you can use the leftover points for a bid.

No Torryn

List invalid.

SW7s would be cheaper ($ and points), and I recently did crack some calcs of my own, mostly for getting DPs ability to trigger with these. But SW7s mean that you can do 5 damage always, 6 with a CF (assuming double arcs, which should be a given with Madine). Your opponent can only brace 1 damage on each attack or redirect, so averages of 3 and 4 damage (assuming a double brace). HCTs would get you to an average of 4.5 and 5.25 damage, with an average of 1.75 accuracies. Even on a CFed roll with all hits (4 damage), the attack can be braced to the same damage as a non-CFed attack. But getting 1 accuracy can prevent the enemy from bracing 3 damage to 2. Though a CR90 is not your opponents biggest worry, using a brace here is not likely to happen.

Where does that leave my opinion? For the points, I'd rather take SW7s on a vanilla, but I would consider HCTs on Dodonna's Pride. Though Leading shots is actually better for Crit fishing.

Very embarrassed at the omission of Farr. What was I thinking?!

Now I've got a super healthy bid for first, or some room to add more stuff. Liking it a lot.

Thoughts on objectives?

They're pretty maneuverable already. Mon Mothma would increase your survivabilty quite a bit at the ranges where you'll be fighting...

I want the Liberty to dance with them. Without Madine, I've found it to be a bit of a tub.

But yes, no reason not to swap out and give Mothma a shot as well.
