So, I was reading the Steel Command article on Neb-b's, and it got me thinking of a way to use them with the new title, and the old title(s). So I came up with this for funsies. Now, it doesn't max out Sato's utility (lacking many black ship crit effects), but it can quickly clear out enemy fighters (with help from Ketsu), then focus in on enemy ships. No fighters to shoot at? Fine, Malee lets the Nebs turn an extra die black and gets to do some bombing of her own, along with Ketsu. So, let's see what you all think of this one:

Name: Mutara Sato
Faction: Rebel
Commander: Commander Sato

Assault: Blockade Run
Defense: Fleet Ambush
Navigation: Infested Fields

MC75 Ordnance Cruiser (100)
• Bail Organa (7)
• Ordnance Experts (4)
• Early Warning System (7)
• Ordnance Pods (3)
• Flechette Torpedoes (3)
= 124 Points

Nebulon-B Support Refit (51)
• Spinal Armament (9)
• Salvation (7)
= 67 Points

Nebulon-B Support Refit (51)
• Commander Sato (32)
• Auxiliary Shields Team (3)
• Vanguard (4)
• Gunnery Team (7)
= 97 Points

Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36)
• Gunnery Team (7)
• Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
= 48 Points

Squadrons:
• Tycho Celchu (16)
• Malee Hurra (26)
• Ketsu Onyo (22)
= 64 Points

Total Points: 400

As you say, the only ship that really benefits from Sato is the HH (and salvation, a little bit). What about using Agate or Dodonna instead?

Or, if you want to keep Sato, consider XX-9’s instead of Spinals for Salvation. At least you get a crit effect out of Malee...
