Once again I'm thinking on a double ISD build!! How viable is it?

Imperial I-Class Star Destroyer (110 points)
- Avenger ( 5 points)
- Minister Tua ( 2 points)
- Gunnery Team ( 7 points)
- Advanced Projectors ( 6 points)
- Spinal Armament ( 9 points)
= 139 total ship cost

[ flagship ] Imperial II-Class Star Destroyer (120 points)
- Admiral Motti ( 24 points)
- Gunnery Team ( 7 points)
- Advanced Projectors ( 6 points)
- Spinal Armament ( 9 points)
- Overload Pulse ( 8 points)
= 174 total ship cost

I feel like, with all those bombers, you really should find a way to push in Rhymer. Like... dropping spinal armament on the Mk2 maybe.

Or switch them out for some fighter cover. Or snag some intel.

Or squeezing in a gozanti for some activation allowance and giving them tokens to keep the good times rolling.

I think I'll go with dropping the spinal on the II

Don't do Advanced Projectors on ISDs! RBD or ECM is a better play. The reason I'm saying that is that with 2 redirects and no way to kill ISD in a single attack the most AP will give is the access to the shields from the zone that is opposite to the one being attacked, i.e. 2 or 3 extra shields. RBD can give you extra 3 HP , which is strictly better in my book.

I would keep Spinals on ISD2 and would replace 2 Bombers with Rhymer if you want Rhymer to be present (Although I'm not convinced you need that many bombers without any intel. I would also add Leading shots on Avenger. (Ideally I would drop the whole overload pulse idea, drop some squadrons and add Supressor with comms net)

Revisited the idea, does seem better!

(sigh) I love double ISD lists. They look amazing on the board, and I've been very successful with them.
