I prefer sensor cluster over PA on QuickDraw, but I'd be open to PA instead. I'd be curious to know why chose it when you have Expertise, which typically has you avoiding stress.

To be honest it's just how I always end up building my sf because I don't always put expertise on them, but that's why I posted to try and get some input on what I need to change. It's defently one of my favorite ships

It's become my favorite Imperial ship. Quickdraw delivers a huge punch early in the game, and I usually pair it with Omega Leader, as you have, with a stealth device, which is infuriating for the end game. I go Striker as my third ship, but I like your idea of another SF to go along with those two. I've seen it used well.

grammar

I've run something not dissimilar to this recently. What I would say is that Expertise on Backdraft is just as good as it is on Quickdraw. I love both of those aces with that EPT, as it just opens up so much potential. I didn't, however, run them with PA (because Expertise, obviously), but I did stick PT on them to get that barrel roll goodness.

I can't hate on the PA love though. Given the red hard one and the s-loops, it's a solid choice. I would, however, suggest that you ditch Crackshot in favour of VI. Crackshot is a value card, no doubt, but a pair of PS9 aces can be worth it's weight in gold, especially with Ashoka builds doing the rounds. I'd also consider ditching the Mk2 Engines on Omega Leader to get the initiative bid in. Nothing like having two threats to Fenn on the board, denying his read on your movement.
