Looks good.

With only 3 other swarm fighters I would replace Howlrunner with Mauler Mithel.

Maybe then move Hondo to the Flotilla and add a SFO to the VSD...

Thanks! Good idea with with Howlrunner, I dont know where to draw the line for her as usefull regarding the amount of swarm squadrons thats needed. I want to try going balls crazy with regular TIE but then it would need a Quazar to activate all...

Hondo on the Flotilla is very good, and a SFO I can probably borrow or proxy.

I generally like to include 4-5 swarm squadrons as a minimum for Howlrunner.

When Sloane first came out I used to use 4 Interceptors, 4 Fighters, Howlrunner and Zertek to protect her. At 107 points it is a little on the low side for Sloane and a lack of intel occasionally hurt on crunch turns. You can add to this a Jumpmaster and Mauler for the full 134. It hits other squadrons really hard. Quite good against ships but watch out for counter(1) ships and double dice flak generally. You see this more these days with double ISD + Gozanti support type lists, often fighterless.

Flak isn't something your squadron build has to worry too much about. I have recently gone over to 5 TIE-Phantoms, Mauler, Jumpmaster, Sabre, Interceptor and Black Squadron as it hits ships really hard and the extra TIE-P hull means Flak shouldn't kill too many before large ships start to explode.

SFO cards are now available as participation prizes for recent Season 3 Armada event so there are usually available on eBay for a small fee.

Can I just say a name like @DblVsdGuy deserves a commitment award!

Looks like a fun list and I'm a VSD fan myself. I just posted my little list but yours looks like it might really give your oppenents something to pause about.
