But that ultimately means the better flyers are going to win since there will be similar builds. To a degree, list building can give a competitive edge over straight-up better flying (again to a degree).
But yeah I love my gunboats and b-wings.
That and as an Imperial my options are very limited. The advanced might be worth flying now, but before that our options were laughable.

My concern with Hyperspace was never with the concept, but rather that the amount of options available was insufficient. If each faction had, say, 7 ships available and didn’t ban almost the entire set of unique faction cards for a faction (seriously, the Imperial crew ban is beyond reasonable) then it would be better. Because with a few more ships, the odds of a power list existing that a faction(s) has no answer for decreases drastically.
There is a balance point where an interesting format can exist. But 4 ships per faction is below what I’d consider a reasonable limitation.

Nu squadron pilot+Ion cannon+Xg1 assault+advanced slam (40pt)

You will walk the enemy list of the table from first engagement.
Looks interesting. How comes Ion over HLC?

Widearc + control, with five ion cannons the enemy list will be showered in ion tokens, and once caught, be trapped until it simply flyes of the board.

Nice - death by a thousand cuts too!
