I'm a seasoned X-Wing player, but still relatively new to Armada. Have my first OP event coming up on the first of October and have three fleets that I'm looking at currently. Not really a meta in my area, as players are sparse, but I would like some constructive feedback in regards to tweaks. So far /r/StarWarsArmada hasn't come up when ith much other than pointing out the lack of an initiative bid on the twin ISD fleet or to replace the demo with a tricked out Raider on it.

I'm leading towards the second or third option. They seem more balanced, and relying on a second gladiator and a raider to do a good amount of work, while far from impossible, is slightly trickier. The second and third options both look super solid lists to me, the only thing I'd do is switch Fleet Ambush to Contested Outpost. The latter basically gives you a 40 point lead to start and forces your opponent to come to you, which your black dice ships want. It also has less potential to backfire ("Thanks for getting my B Wings into position for me!").
