In a nutshell:

- Not enough ships (bring out academy pilots to block your opponent). 6 ships is simply not enough.

- Your backup shield generator is in the wrong spot (the fore section has recover, so if you lose that, you lose all regen potential)

I could go into more details, but let's start with that.

TIE Punishers are in a rough spot for Epic... Turbo laser fire at range 5 and the thing still only rolls TWO green dice. Plus, it's a magnet for Rebel fighters, so you need a pretty good fighter screen to protect it.

I agree with Dotswarlock, you need more fighters. Your only fighter support is a pair of mark 7 Defenders. Not nearly enough fighters. At 300 points, and a Raider, you really need Academy pilots to fill the sky... or if you're aggressive, a bunch of Alpha squadron Interceptors.

As for the Raider... You're not going to do a lot of damage with it, but if you're expecting a capital ship on the other side you're going to give it a bad day. That's a lot of ion batteries. The range is nice too. Not sure about the sensor team in this case, as you only have that range 4 band that's impacted, and you won't be able to focus fire with re-rolls anyway. Lots of speed on this Raider, I like it...

Yeah, drop the punisher and a few of the teams from the raider to add three Academy Pilots in there at least.

I might replace the punisher and defenders with a howlrunner black squadron crack swarm.
