How does it look?

...remind me how the Special Forces TIE fighters get their evade tokens. If I remember right, last iteration you had Lt. Dormitz to set up first, and they each got an evade token at setup. I don't see anything to give them evade tokens in your current iteration.

OK so I’m a fan of Accuracy Corrector on the generic SFs but not having Lightweight Frame makes them a bit squishy for my tastes. I love the pairing of Juke/Comm Relay with these ships my only reservation would be against 0 agility huge ships you’ve spent a lot of points (20!) and it may go waste but still it sounds ace and of course will play havoc with lots of other ships stripping their focus tokens or pushing damage through. I assume the Tracers are for the Gozanti. One thing to note is that Advanced Optics ships can only have one focus token at a time (it’s just so much fun to have multiple focus tokens on a ship) so this might not pair well with Op Spec.

With all that in mind I’d be tempted to change the Omega Sq to Snap Shot and remove Advanced Optics. Snap Shot will trigger Op Spec a lot. On the Omega Specialists I’d be tempted to remove Chips and go for Lightweight Frame and maybe ditch the Tracers. I can’t think why you took Zeta Ace in particular and it seems sad not to equip him with Intensity but you will be stretched on points now and so you might consider downgrading to an Omega Sq anyway.

Well that’s my opinionated response finished!

The reason for Lightweight Frame not being on there was to spend points elsewhere for extra bodies. The Juke/Comm Relay has proven in the past with these guys so it’s a must for me. So good, especially because most people don’t bring epic ships and I have Crack Shot in the FO’s for the reinforce.

Hux is there to resupply the Focus for the FO’s and to give them to the SF’s. It makes sure that everyone has one. Actions are so critical in Epic. Same with Op Spec being there. Just insures everyone is supplied with 1.

Tracers are there because I had 3 points to spare and I can fire one at a huge ship and every single one of mine has Focus/TL to take a huge ship down in a turn or two.

Zeta Ace is simply to have a PS5 HWCS ship to match the SF’s in pilot skill that also has an EPT for crack shot.

@Tbetts94 I’d play that list if I had two more SFs!

Focus for everyone!
