What do you all think of the Fighter Squadrons II packs (both factions)? The new cards from CC seem to have stolen the show in my area, but I have played against some of the new Imperial Squadrons.

On the Imperial side, I've been pretty impressed. Apart from the TIE Phantoms (I haven't played them yet, but they seem a little lackluster), they are some nice additions. TIE Defenders and Decimators both hit like trucks and can take quite a beating. The Lambda-class shuttle is really handy, especially for keeping your flotillas away from the fight (though the Centicore title on the Arquitens does the same thing for a lot less now), and Colonel Jendon's ability essentially gives 1 squad a Yavaris-like double tap

On the Rebel side, I'm not sure what to think—but I haven't played with or against any of them yet. Honestly though, they don't look too impressive except for the E-Wing's snipe ability. I'm not even sure I'll bother buying them.

What do you all think?

EWings: STILL haven't used any of them ?

Z95s: Only one use of 4 of them. meh, but certainly not a definitive dismissal

Lancers: Nice, but fragile. Ketsu is awesome.

VCX-100: Hera, still haven't used.

The generic? HOLY **** THEY ARE AWESOME!

E-wings? F-ing brilliant, I fully consider them to be a massive upgrade to Xs with faster speed and snipe 3

Z-95s? Good in large numbers or to fill out a squadron list

Lancers? I use when I can, but fragile

VCX-100? Relay is insane and Hera while expensive can be worth it depending on the opponent

E-Wings are really solid. I haven't gotten to run my E-Wings yet but going against them is a huge pain.

Lancers, in my limited use were very flexible and rather fun. I was able to hide them behind a Dust Cloud though, so I had solid ability to keep them survivable until the late-game where they got to harass ships.

Defenders, I stand by as excellent all-around ships. Not great at anything, but passable at everything (except escorting, they kinda suck at that what with not having escort) Ultimately they're just nasty against other squadrons. I like to run a handful with a FC carrier and Interceptors and just crush enemy squad balls.

Marrek Steele is just a monster, end of story.

Lamdas are super fun. Great utility ship. I have created an objectives-focused list and they are just dirty on Fire Lanes. Also flotillas being able to just fly into a corner and hide is pretty excellent.

Hera was pretty fun in the game I played her, but my positioning was really garbage so her escorts didn't always get to stay in range where I needed them.

This is great feedback. Thanks!
