We're about to start a Corellian Campaign and I'm currently brainstorming on my initial list. My mind is set on bringing Commander Sato, but I can't decide between those two lists:

I like the potencial of the first one, being able to launch 3 black dice (with a CF) at long range with eventually a torpedo, maybe 2 black dice front if I also get a Spinal Armament, and even going up to 6/4 black dice if I get close. But I feel like it's vulnerable, MC 30 can blow up so easily. Second list looks like the safest bet, but not as fun to play.

Any suggestions?

I went with a Sato list for our CC - Salvation is fragile and not especially helpful except as a finisher. The MC-30's are great, they need to be maneuverable though so i went with a Pelta (as this will also benefit all three fleets in the All-out-assault).

Of your two lists, the double AF is probably best, you can add an MC30 later; but why no Tycho, he's a shoe-in for Sato lists! Maybe lose Salvation, put in an MC30 with Tycho and drop a squad or two for now.
