The gist of this set is to give Imperial players a well-rounded set that keeps the ships in the game for as long as possible, without sacrificing any power. Constructive criticism wanted; this is my first set created.

If you want a Defender to live longer, use the x7 title.

Tomax Bren can't use Sensor Jammer; the Bomber doesn't have a System upgrade icon.

Shield Upgrade is really expensive for Epsilon Leader. For less points you could give him a Tech upgrade that would help him avoid more damage than the one extra hit point from Shield Upgrade. Pattern Analyzer, Comm Relay or Sensor Cluster (my preference for Epsilon Leader in that order.)

Your choices in secondary weapons could be better. Just keep trying different ones and you'll see what I mean. Also, if you're going to play with missiles or torps, I recommend the following upgrades: Extra Munitions, Guidance Chips or Long-Range Scanners.

corrected upgrade name

Sorry. I originally planned for a Defender-Punisher-TIE/FO build, but didn't have enough points. And I don't run from my enemies, although I do see how a Countess Ryad with x/7 would prove hard to destroy.

I have created a new monster, though.
