Are you sure you don't want to move Raddus to the CR90 and bring the bug ship in from reserve? It would be nice to upgrade To a TRC armed CR90A too.

Watch out for fleet ambush when you have 2 of your ships off map. A VSD2 with GTs and Disposable Capacitors could ruin your day on turn one. Capture the VIP may be better.

ECMs are almost certainly going to help you much more than RBDs. Squadrons shouldn't threaten you too much compared to bigger, angrier ships, especially when 2 accuracies leave you with only contains.

Raddus cannot be on the ship that his own ability sets aside. So if you have the intention of setting the MC75 aside, Raddus himself will need to relocate to one of the smaller ships.

CR90 with TRCs is nice, but the all blues with SW-7s gives you 100% damage potential and a bigger threat out of hyperspace, and you're right about fleet ambush which is why Raddus stays on the big ship, not a small one. Bring in the big guns and drop in the smalls on the flank and eat up his displaced fleet.

You can also in theory with Rapid Deployment have an entire raddus list and squadrons all start in hyperspace.... which is interesting

The high hull points and the addition of Blissex in the officer slot, make RBDs doable. Burn the brace, blissex it back. ECMs are a nice upgrade just Avenger happens to be common meta around my ends... will fork it and see what it's like with them in :)

Raddus should be on the big ship, opponents will more often than not play exactly how you want them too...

Position your big boy for some tasty hits and then drop your smaller hitters in exactly where you need them.

Appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected.

Force him to reveal himself, so as to find out his vulnerable spots. - Sun Tzu

I suppose, but the HH can already be launched via Profundity, and then you're left dropping the CR90b via Raddus, but in my experience something like a CR90b is fast and agile enough to get basically where you want it without needing to spend points on Raddus and give up an activation during deployment and the first round or two.

But then, my philosophy is to put Raddus onto a big ship and also drop in another big ship :D Raddus is the anvil and the dropped ship is the hammer.

It’s meta dependent, as you say. Personally I’ve found when I would need ECM, I can’t burn the token and Blissex does nothing, and the same is guaranteed vs BTAvenger. Perhaps Lando would have better synergy, keeping you alive before incurring damage and ignoring accuracies and the like, so he can be counted on...
