Edited by shmittyWho needs more than 1 deployment?
Interesting, I'd been going the other way for my Raddus experiments...moar deployments!!
Might try something along these lines, thanks.
Interesting report, thanks! Have you ever tried this list with the Profundity starting as the only ship on the table instead?
It’s something I’m experimenting with, and this is probably the closest I’ve seen another list come to it. The benefit is that you have more options, with the ability to trigger Profundity and Raddus’ abilities independently in different rounds (which I suppose you could do the way you flew this, but I don’t think triggering Raddus and then Profundity makes as much sense as Profundity before Raddus).
Starting with Profundity as the only ship on the table and using its ability one round before the intended Raddus drop can give some juicy options for that last deployment. In the context of your report, I think round 3 would’ve been the right time to trigger Profundity if it had been on the table in place of the MC80. Ideally the HH would’ve been able to get in behind the Kuat for a round 4 Raddus drop. It’s hard to say whether it would be worth it, your HH certainly carried its weight as you deployed it.
Any thoughts?

Exactly what I've been thinking about @AdmiralRaddushes - MC-75 and a GR-75 to deploy, then have Garel's Honour and another ship to drop whenever needed. The MC-75 is tanky enough to survive to get into position, then unleash ****. Can't wait to try it but have a Regional on Saturday so going with tried and tested fleet instead.

It is something I have definitely considered and is on my list of Raddus tricks to try out. I have looked at the deployment options that using Profundity first gives the Raddus drop and they are impressive.
Cool beans, I wish you both luck when you try it out. I’d be interested to hear how it flies for you two.
Thx for sharing the list, I’m intrigued by your choice of Bail. How do you intend to use him? I was thinking of flying the MC75 more reactively instead of proactively (at least until help arrives on the board).
Here’s a list I’ve been itching to try after flying a very different first iteration. It’s similar to OP except MC75 swapped roles with the MC80, as discussed. I also prefer to nest a CR90 with ET and Leia instead of the HH. It lets me: a) be sure I get into position for that dirty dirty Raddus drop and b) have some insurance if I n00b up Profundity’s dials. Considering that I’ve lost more than one match due to my own ineptitude with deployments, I think it’ll be pretty competitive for me. I’ll post an after action report if you’re interested.
