Our FLGS is having a restricted list event (no Fenn, Miranda, Lowhhrick, r3a2, TLT, EU, Expertice, PTL, VI, harpoons, Palp and a few other cards). I typically fly palp aces, and have two very similar but nice lists:

Vader: adaptability, title, ATC, proton rockets, chips (33 pnts)

QD: adaptability, title, light weight frame, FCS, advanced optics, cruise missiles (38 pnts)

Delta Squad Tie-D: Tie x7 (28)

I can drop cruise missiles from QD and take Countess Ryad instead of Delta. In the 10ish test play games I am having a difficult time blockign with the Delta, so considering having something a bit more offensive. Thoughts?

Yeah, I don't think cruise missiles add much to QD personally. Ryad is pretty great and flexible.

I agree, however the last two games I was able to get a 5 dice missile off. And, 3 shlooping then firing the cruise is pretty sweet. Still, i don't think the extra 1 or 2 dice for a single attack is better than ryad over delta...

I'd lose all the missiles for Ryad with Intensity and X7 (SO MANY TOKENS), Vader with title, ATC, VI, and QD with title, fcs, VI, LWF

I think the more rounded builds would be worth it above a couple one pop missiles
