Feedback desired on a first cut with 7th Wave components. I initially had Arquitens Light Cruiser with Needa and TRC, but I replaced it with the two Gozantis to have a better activation game. I don't know if that's good or not; I prefer the pew-pew ships but three activations even with Strategic Advisor seems risky right now. I'm also unsure if I should have two loaded ISDs or skinny them down to introduce more squadrons or maybe a Raider.

Amidst that, I have no idea what Thrawn dial-set aside plan to use.

I feel like Quad Turbolaser Cannons is too expensive. I see what you are trying to do with Close-Range Intel but still. Most Wanted is by far the best objective if you have a flotilla in the fleet for Red.

You can take both of those off and go with XI-7 instead then add in Intensify Firepower! to increase your damage output on the Cymoon as Red dice are Fickle.

Thanks for the tip on Most Wanted. I don't know how I overlooked that.

I still don't own the XI7. When I've looked, it's been too expensive on eBay and the Neb B hasn't been worth buying for just that card. I need to get a copy into my fleet.

My opponent has wreaked havoc on my fleet with QLT last two games we played, so I want to try it out. But after some dice rolling, I removed QTL from the ISD, but kept it on the Cymoon and added the Intensity Firepower. I realize that gives me an automatic hit with the Goz: not much, but a free hit is a free hit.

(I could strip down the Cymoon, and take out QLT and H9, and remove Hardened Bulkheads from both ships to free up 20 points for more squadrons. Or combine that with tossing the Goz and add in a GSD. But this seems an interesting fleet approach for the moment...I hope )

Stripping down, I can introduce a GSD. I like the pew-pew simplicity of this one, but I think I'll keep working on the above for now.
