My go to alpha list below. after the point change it went down 5 so I added the informant. Like parkitor said, if people go for RAC the interceptors live a long time .

Both Tua and Dauntless seems a little redundant to me, and I'm curious how much mileage you'll get out of the Informant. Here's my take:

Rear Admiral Chiraneau (76)
Swarm Tactics (4)
Admiral Sloane (9)
Proton Bombs (5)
Dauntless (4)

Alpha Squadron Pilot (34)

Sloane is just 2 points more than Tua and the passive re-rolls and control effects will really help the Alphas punch. Best thing is that you'll always give Swarm Tactics to the Alpha that's most likely to pop, so that a) he gets to shoot, and then b) the others all get re-rolls. It's pretty sweet.

Dalli says you should never take a Deci without Proton Bombs and he's the foremost expert. I can see the argument to trade them out for Informant though as they're the same cost. I'd be interested in testing out both options.

I like this also, except it doesn't look like Sloane is legal for Hyperspace yet.
I'll definitely be working on a three interceptor/Deci list variant for sure, though.

my Experience is that swarm tactics gets used a lot. even though title and tua can’t both work on the same turn I found that in different games they have both been useful. As for the informant, it is early days but I think anything that gives an advantage to the ps1 ships is useful. In my casual nights I had so much success with this list I moved onto other things.

Oh and a 2 point hull is still a no brainer in my book

Informant is a favorite of mine, ever since 1.0's Alpha Fleet Officer. Better balanced in Second Edition, though having to pick only one event ship to place the Listening Device on.
