Deadly enough? I've got Squadrons to spare, although the only serious weakness I have is not being able to activate all of them.

Id include Howlrunner for sure.

Demo without a bid for first is a rough start IMO

But Demo isn't useless without it. It's not like an MC30 that must have it.

MC30s can do OK without a bid for first...

do you have a title on them? Admonition really, but technically foresight helps some too.

Never run them without a title.

Unless you have three of them, in which case, Lando should be on the untitled one

I would drop DC in order to get Boosted Comms, the ability to be farther back helps a Quasar a lot. I would also drop four TIEs to get Howl and Mauler in there at a minimum. You're going to consistently lose a lot of that swarm to flak and minimal return fire, so optimize where it counts. I would also be wary of allowing all your antiship backup to be Demo and a Needa/TRC Arquitens, but if you can make it work, all the more power to you.
