I'd drop Blount. His ability isn't helping anyone. Also I think xi7s will really help make those big broadsides count. I have really enjoyed playing an ackbar AF with Caitken and Shollan.

Those reds are ao whimsical they need the DTT for some consistency. Unfortunately I can never find a place for XI7 ony my AFs.

Hi Rimogard

I like Ackbar and Assault frigates, but if you aren't using Gunnery Teams you aren't getting the full value of the combo. You can only shoot out of the side if you want to use your admiral's ability, and it is much much more likely that you will get a 2nd broadside if you have GT than if you don't.

So I'd advice either building in GTs, or trading admirals for someone who works better with your mixed ship/squadron fleet.

Add leia officer somewhere, maybe on jaina. The goldfishes will benefit alot from her in overcoming their 3 stacks, in particular the FC GH for that timely squadron command as needed.
