Very interesting, and quite the endorsement for Stridan. I wish I could give it a whirl (and that I had more insightful thoughts :/).

Do give it a try, dear sir. Under Stridan's command, The Grand Inquisitor and Baron Soontir Fel have escaped numerous bombing run attempts and blocked Mirada's flight path to deny her actions existence.

Fly them tonight, and witness the empire's finest in all its glory!

Curious.... what's your typical list for this? Very much like to try something a little like it.

It's on the link I provided on my previous post. But anyway this is my most favourite list:

97 pts (add inspiring recruit for 98 pts, Kylo shuttle title for 99 pts)

Major Stridan (32) + Advanced Sensors (3) + Systems Officer (2)
Soontir Fel (27) + Push the Limit (3) + Royal Guard TIE (0) + Autothrusters (2) + Targeting Computer (2)
Omega Leader (21) + Juke (2) + Comms Relay (3)

A variant with Inquisitor + Backdraft:

100 pts (Kylo Ren crew exchangeable with Advanced Sensors or other crew/tech/mod combos)

Major Stridan (32) + Collision Detector (2) + Systems Officer (2) + Kylo Ren crew (3)
The Inquisitor (25) + Push the limit (3) + TIE/v1 (1) + Autothrusters (2)
Backdraft (27) + Veteran Instincts (1) + Fire Control Systems (2) + Special Ops Training (0) + Lightweight Frame (2)

If you're trying the list for the first time, I suggest you try the second build. It has less emphasis on the maneuvering part and doesn't punish bad planning that heavily, though it is more predictable that the first build. Pre-boost Inquisitor + PTL for 1 other action into 1 hard clear stress AND 1 more action is very fun

Also don't bother putting a defender into this list. They don't benefit much from action efficiency (they're already efficient, in both maneuvering and durability) and too low on PS to pair effectively with Stridan. The only Defender I see viable flying with Stridan is Rexler but this means your other ace is..not an ace due to very little pts left.

Calculation/TIEmk2 Maarek Stele with Omega Leader wouldn't be too shabby. You'd have to swap out advanced sensors for pattern analyzer which leaves you a little more block-prone, but it would be a good way to get a Defender that benefits from Stridan on the field.

I gave some thought on your feedback, and made below list:

100 pts (no need for PS war since both aces are PS8)

Major Stridan (32) + Electronic Baffle (1) + Systems Officer (2)
Rexler Brath (37) + Expertise (4) + TIE/x7 (-2)
Omega Leader (21) + Juke (2) + Comms Relay (3)

Stridan plays slightly differently here. instead of always moving green, he could perform tactical stops and still gets to do action and leaves his dial open for the next round. A Tokened up rexler can really intimidate other aces especially those with lower agility. On the other hand though he will inevitably draw more aggro, hence Stridan's 4-dice primary might actually see some action to ward off potential threats to Rexler.
