If you are going to use Sloane fighters to spend defense tokens, would it behoove you to swap out Boarding Troopers for Gunnery Teams?

If is was an ISD-II then definitely, but an ISD-I needs to get 2 targets in front arc at a much shorter range to be truly effective and you would loose the Advanced Gunnery red mission.

I would swap Bossk (who doesn't benefit from Sloane) for a Tie-I and Sabre Squadron.

Get rid of Bossk, for Jendon, let your Ties engage the opponents fighters, that should free up Stele and Jendon to get some double tap action in on any Hammerhead/ Raider/ Neb/ CR90 that they can get to.

Bording troopers should be banned as it's such a strong card for 3 points, but do you need it on the Carrier? Boarding troopers and Avenger is just plain nasty.
