So I was running this fleet the other day against a rebel ace's list and won with like a 9-2. I am looking for some suggestions to turn this into a list that I could in a tournament. The list that I fought against was gallant haven, yavaris, luke,wedge,dutch, jan and some other things along with some smaller ships.

Here is what I ran.

Ozziling kittens

Commander: Admiral Ozzel

Assault Objective: Most Wanted
Defense Objective: Fighter Ambush
Navigation Objective: Solar Corona

Arquitens-class Command Cruiser (59 points)
- Dual Turbolaser Turrets ( 5 points)
= 64 total ship cost

Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)
- Comms Net ( 2 points)
= 25 total ship cost

[ flagship ] Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)

= 43 total ship cost

Gladiator I-Class Star Destroyer (56 points)
- Demolisher ( 10 points)
- Engine Techs ( 8 points)
- Assault Proton Torpedoes ( 5 points)
= 79 total ship cost

Arquitens-class Light Cruiser (54 points)

= 59 total ship cost

1 Dengar ( 20 points)
1 Colonel Jendon ( 20 points)
1 Darth Vader ( 21 points)
1 TIE Advanced Squadron ( 12 points)
1 Maarek Steele ( 21 points)
2 TIE Defender Squadrons ( 32 points)

Any thoughts on how to improve?

This list may fly well against a fighter-heavy opponent but if he comes in with some big guns you're screwed. The Demo is neat but without Ordnance Experts its close-range shots may end very badly. Arquitens are great but the lack of Brace means they usually die a glorious death.

You have a very fragile list with no decent destructive power. if your Demolisher dies you lost. You have not enough power in your squadrons to do the ship killing job and you don't even have BCC to reroll bad bombing rolls, while the Arqs stand no chance against a sturdier opponent.

@Norell makes good points. I'm flying something pretty similar right now- 2x Gozantis, 2x Arquies, 1x Demo, with some squadrons. My list has more bombers (Rhymer, Tempest, Gamma), a BCC, and Bossk with Jendon, and I'm still continually wondering if I have enough punch.

A tanky MC80 with Walex can come right at you and suck down everything you can throw at it- the lack of Blue Dice means the other guy gets all their defense tokens, and Demo without OE has always been annoying for me. I also did well against an opponent with a heavy squadron complement, but not well enough to win (we got a draw).

That said, I think it does have potential. I considered Vader as well and I like your Defenders, they're just great multi-role fighters. You could swap out a Defender squadron for 2x bombers and only lose 2 points in the bargain, but without a BCC the bombers aren't great either.

Sorry I don't have answers to this, I'm working on a very similar thing! let me know if you find any magic bullets.

Drop Vader for Zertek Storm to save you 6 points. Even if you don't use his reroll you still get a double brace escort and save enough for ordnance experts on the GSD.

Then look at upgrading the Tie-A to Tempest and maybe a SFO on Demolisher.

SFO? I took vader with since he is a character killer, and in the area I live in, the main meta is rebel aces. Strom just seems so weird with the fickleness of red dice. I'll admit it just doesn't have a whole lot of staying power against ISD's or MC80's but its not designed to be upfront and personal aside from demo. I could drop demo and instead put in another arquitten so that way they all can sit at long range and have a way better chance at dealing with the ISD or MC80
