The theory behind this was "Luke double crit through shields with Yavaris, 3 times with Talon, into some sweet, sweet Dodanna crits." That evolved into a full fledged bomber wing, with Dodanna's pride tagging along to help dish out the crits.

I would just like some feed back on this lists, such as potential counters or weaknesses, where i could trim the fat, or add some muscle.

It would be nice to have ECMs on the assault frigate, in my games it keeps it alive way longer than it should've been. But that is also because mine is a Gallant Haven.

Are the transports supposed to stay at long range?

I'm just worried for the Yavaris's life. It has to get close to the fight, and it won't last long in the thick.

One more thing. MC30s witH APTs are ALWAYS nice in a Dodonna fleet. They can easily clean up what the bombers started, or vice versa.

The transports are indeed supposed to be fringe supports.

The Yavaris will have to get down and dirty, but hopefully i can out activate most threats and keep its side protected.

Hopefully the Q3 torpedoes will support the mc30 crit mining ;)
