Just a fun list try. Last one I tried was fun even though it was a loss. Now with wave 6 out here's what I put together:
398 points
-ISD 1
Motti
Boarding Troopers
Leading shots
Quad Battery Turrets
-ISD 1 (x2)
Gunnery Team
Leading shots
Quad Battery Turrets
Objectives:
Blockade run
Fleet ambush
Navigational hazards
Why Blockade Run and Navigational Hazards?

I just tried to throw in some hard choices. Blockade run would make it hard to avoid the ISD front arcs
You don't want to do the Avenger/Boarding Troopers combo?
I've faced a Triple ISD build and once I got over the shock factor of 3 ISDs charging at me, it was manageable to deal with. Personally, I'd rather go with just 2 but better equipped ISDs, a flotilla and some Squadrons.
I was two points over with Avenger title. Like I said I lost the last game I played with 3 ISDs my opponent focused on one and killed it. I just quickly through this together after a new player asked if it could be done. I thought it might be fun to just play something like this again and mess with my opponent. I don't care for a win or lose. I want to fly 3 ISDs again and have fun. XD

As good a reason as any.
If you start them splitting the play area in two with one at the middle moving speed 1 and two at either end running speed 3, you could tun those corners in and quickly have three ISDs bearing down on a fleet from all sides. Man, If you could put Disposable Capacitors on large ships, that would be enough to make me wanna cry.
Good lord......THREE ISD's on the table..........COOL!!!!!!!!!

I've done it once was pretty fun!!!
I played three ISDs in a tournament. I don't remember the specific build, but all three have Boarding Troopers and one was an Avenger. Add in the standard other ISD cards and you can imagine how the list was built. It did mediocre. The first game was against a single ISD with BT/Avenger, 3 Raiders and a flotilla. I was massacred. Dude tabled me. 1-10 loss. The second game was against a Rebel Ackbar/Bomber list. Again, big loss. This time 3-8. The last game was against a guy with two ISDs, a flotilla and a few squadrons. I tabled him. That last game was super fun and worth the first two fights. He had Motti. I had dealt 13 damage to one of the ISDs and wouldn't be able to take another shot all game due to positioning. I had clean shots on the other ISD (Motti). I killed it, which instantly lowered the hull on the other from 14 to 11, killing it as well. That won me the game. I was down to 1 ISD with very little health remaining.
I've found that 2 ISD's with some smaller supporting ships (read, flotillas) is much more effective than triple ISD's.
Managing three large bases is very difficult, and you often end up either way out of position and unable to bring all your firepower to bear on the same target, or the enemy just sets up on one side, chews down one of the ISD's while the others are stuck on the other side of it, and then scram out of there.
And don't even get me started on what would happen if you came up against a serious bomber force...
try playing around with 2 isds and 2 comms net gozantis. You can kit out the isds much better, it will up your activation count, and you can fit in a squad screen even if it's just 6 tie fighters
As I said this is just a fun list I put together with the new wave 6 upgrades. My group is very casual and we like to have fun along with experimenting with lists. I see new lists just about every week. I plan to use this one for fun at some point probably after the Store championship tomorrow. Until then I have a Leia list to practice.

That statement right there is the most important thing to remember. I love going to tournaments and competing but would rather lose every game with a fleet I loved flying than take home a championship with a fleet I never want to play again.
Try this:
ISD1
- Darth Vader
-X17 Turbolasers
ISD1
-Boarding Troopers
-Avenger
ISD1
- Boarding Troopers
