We now have even more ships that can stack 2 of the same upgrade. I was curious what some folks favorite combos people have come up with for that. As a reference:
So what do you like to stack?

It might be wise to change it to "2 of the same upgrade type" before someone tries doubling up on the same thing ;).
It's predictable and boring, but ISD-Is with Expanded Hangar Bays and Boosted Comms are still pretty legit carriers, especially with someone like Thrawn around to get the squadron commanding done in addition to the nav (or whatever) dial they want to be close-ranged brawlers.
2x ACMs Glads.
Moved on a bit since here, but for reference
https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/247629-best-double-upgrades/
I'm looking forward to running a Pickle Fort with EWS and ECM. That should be pretty seriously robust.
External Racks with WAB, APT, or ACM. Probably the best double slot combo because of how cheap it is and ER plays directly into the 3 crits.
I also enjoyed the classic SA QTC on a GT Lib, pumping out 10 red dice a round and getting double Acc.

Good point.
I am less sure we will see as much of that ISD as we used to. The Quasar can also do that same trick and Relay has made Boosted Comms less common. I do think the Reinforced Bulkheads aer a great new upgrade in that slot an wonder if we will ever see something that goes well with that.

Ex Rax + something seems like a no-brainer on the 75Ord. I do wonder about the potential of Ord Porgs and Flechettes. Potentially devastating, but pretty matchup dependent.

Add Draven for extra fun.
But every time I look at that build, I always think of the ISD or Ackbar match up and now you have nothing scary to threaten with. I think the Armoured Cruiser is a better ship to run OP with, since you're stiff arming with the Ion and Turbo anyway.

I ran an MC75 with PorgChettes about two weeks ago, added OE and EWS for good measure. I found it was usually better to shoot ships against the MSU list I was facing, but I was pretty satisfied with its performance the couple turns I did devote to squadron suppression. It was the sole survivor of its fleet, which consisted of all three MC cruisers with Exodus and no squads, and it finished off two flots in turns five and six to turn the match into a tabling. I found it incredibly versatile and would run again.
Still have to try it but expanded launchers and wide area barrage with advanced gunnery and sato can barrage 2 flotillas to death.

I think we as a community need to start including a few more letters in our abbreviations, because I was very confused what Strategic Advisor had to do with generating accuracies. 
As far as the Ordnance MC75 goes... Ordnance pods+ExRacks+Draven+Ordnance Experts seems like it should add a nice anti-squadron element to an MC75 while still being able to give any ISDs that wander close a bloody nose. Early Warning Systems is probably over doing the Anti-squad focus though, especially with that defense token suite.

Are you sure Tir? I feel like we’ve gone over this and that /command does something else

Spinals and XI7 seem quite popular recently on the cymoon. Ruthless strategists and flight controllers on the quasar for a very specific anti squad flak build.
I wanted to try bail and SA on the pelta, then i realised...

There’s tons of utility in that Pelta double
officer, but I haven’t found anything really amazing with it yet.

raymus+ahsoka gives you the right tokens for all rounds

I like Reinforced Bulkheads on my Raddused MC-75, since I'm jumping into close proximity I expect rams to happen. Unfortunately, that doesn't fit into the "double slot" for the thread.
IF! Pelta with SFO and Lando.
SFO fixes oops for lack of prep for IF! (Hondo can do this also, but I keep Hondo on another ship)
I really enjoy spinals and the turbolaser that lets you add an accuracy if you roll one. Key is to bring a jonus or a home one to gurantee an accuracy.
I'm Always shocked I never saw more ECM+Advanced Projectors on the Doom Pickle. AP are so good in the current squadron focused meta, they effectively double your health vs squads. Sure you still get boned by BTAvenger, but then who doesn't?
Boosted comms and expanded hangar on the quasar 1.
Ecm and rbd on the assault cruiser, although maybe ews will replace one.

Around here because: XI7 and Sloane, I think. AP still useful, but I think most feel they are not getting max return on the investment.
