Yes, another fleet with the MC75. I'm really trying hard to build a fleet that I like. I have a few that I'm now deciding between. This is one of them.

MC75 Carrier Group
Author: Admiral Attackbar

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 394/400

Commander: General Dodonna

Assault Objective: Precision Strike
Defense Objective: Fighter Ambush
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions

[ flagship ] MC75 Armored Cruiser(104 points)
- General Dodonna ( 20 points)
- Expanded Hangar Bay ( 5 points)
- Early Warning System ( 7 points)
- Quad Battery Turrets ( 5 points)
- External Racks ( 3 points)
= 144 total ship cost

Assault Frigate Mark II B (72 points)
- Flight Controllers ( 6 points)
- Expanded Hangar Bay ( 5 points)
= 83 total ship cost

GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)
- Toryn Farr ( 7 points)
- Bomber Command Center ( 8 points)
= 33 total ship cost

1 Wedge Antilles ( 19 points)
4 X-Wing Squadrons ( 52 points)
3 Y-Wing Squadrons ( 30 points)
1 Norra Wexley ( 17 points)
1 "Dutch" Vander ( 16 points)

No Biggs and Jan? Hard to pass those up, but I guess you’re planning on eliminated the enemy fighters before moving on to the ships?

It was hard to pass up. I may still put them (or one of them) in. But, yeah, I want to kill any squadrons first.

I feel like you could just take the MC80 Command Cruiser instead and do better.

MC80 Command Cruiser and the Nebulon-B Escort Frigate are by far the best Carriers for Rebels. Also my opinion is if your going to focus on a Carrier specific build, do not go for any upgrades that enhance the armament of your ships, just make sure you have a good few squadrons that can dominate air control and the rest being able to do a lot of bombing damage and aiming to one shot larges ships, or at the very least heavily cripple them in one turn.
If you want to try one shoting capitals you will need a Nebulon-B Escort Frigate with Yavaris and have Adar Talon on the main Carrier. If you do it right and practice it enough, you can get heavy bombers with a black and blue dice to strike 2 times. You need a way to give Yavaris a squadron token so you can do this with 3 squadrons.

Here are a list of some ships that do well with some particular upgrades as carriers:
MC80 Command Cruiser (Please for the love of god never use Independance) - Adar Talon, Boosted Comms, Fighter Coordination Team
MC75 Armored Cruiser - Adar Talon, Flight Controllers, Boosted Comms
Assault Frigate Mark II B - Adar Talon, Flight Controllers, Boosted Comms
Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (Highly Recommended) - Flight Commander or Raymus Antilles and Yavaris
MC80 Star Cruiser (Not Highly Recommended at all) - Raymus Antilles, Flight Controllers, Fighter Coordination Teams and Liberty
Pelta-class Command Ship - Adar Talon, Fighter Coordination Team, All Fighters Follow Me!, Boosted Comms, Phoenix Home and Raymus Antilles
GR-75 Medium Transports - Bombing Command Center, add Toryn Farr if using Nym and keep her close to him to fish for Blue Crits
GR-75 Medium Transports (Not a Carrier, but mainly to support other carriers with Squadron Tokens) - Comms Net

Here are some Air Superiority options to start you off:
Intercept and Snipe - Shara Bey, 3 A-Wings and 1 E-Wing (65)
Tank and Spank - Jan Ors, 2 YT-1300 and Ten Numb (64)
Dog Fighters and Secondary Bombers - Jan Ors, Biggs Darklighter and 2 X-Wings (64)

Here are some Bombing options to start you off:
Light Bombers - Norra Wexley, Gold Squadron and 4 Y-Wings (69) [12 damage potential with Norra allowing crits to auto remove a shield meaning cant be affected by defense tokens, including contain unless they have damage control officer][Adar Talon and Yavaris 20 damage potential]
Heavy Bombers - Captain Nym and 3 Scurrg H-6 Bombers (69) [12 damage potential with Captain Nym's Blue Crits you can choose one enemy defense token to discard] [Using Adar Talon and Yavaris Nym can attack three times in a round, so damage postential with Nym attacking three times and 2 Scurrgs attacking twice and the remaining Scurrg once you have a 24 damage potential with Nym giving a potential to discard up to 3 defense tokens in a turn]
Gunships - Keyan Farlander and 3 B-Wings (62) [13 damage potential with Keyan Farlander re-rolling both black dice if hitting hull and not shields] [Adar Talon and Yavaris 27 damage potential]
Rogue Bombers - Dash Rendar and 3 Lancer-class Pursuit Craft [8 damage potential] [Adar Talon and Yavaris 16 damage potential] i do not recommend, more for bombers supporting a Gunboat fleet

So I hope this helps you out, this is not a must do, but more of a guide for what sort of things work well if looking to do full carrier.

Having a good bid for second player is also really important as you want to play to your objectives and having at least 4 activation is also really good, only issue with carrier builds is that a lot of points get taken up by squadrons making 4 activations difficult, which means running 2 floatillas, so your enemy only need to kill both your main carriers to table you, so you do have to play very strategically.

grunnax93 has a wonderful post, and the Tank & Spank is fantastic for air superiority. You can do some funny things with these guys, including a Rapid Launch Bays (On the MC80 or 75) and drop them right into the middle of a squadron ball, or if there are no squads drop them onto a ship. I like the MC 75 adding Ruthless Strategist for Tank and Spank + Ordnance Pods. Tien will do one damage to scatter aces, and for two damage to the YT-1300, you can wipe the Ace it off the board. In fact you can do it three times for each YT-1300, and if in range, that can be up to SIX 3-hull Scatter Aces wiped off the board in one activation. Take that Howl, Mauler, Valen, Siena, Soontir and ALMOST GOT YOU DENGAR.
