Here's something I 've been giving a crack at lately. First of all,I love all the new cards and goodies from the wave 8 ships. I've actually won with this list, much to my surprise.

Filthy Rebs

MC30 torp, Kyrsta(adm),Derlin,ord exp,ecm, H9, Admo ---117 extra brace thank you very much...

MC30 torp, Lando, ord exp, adv proj, ex racks, H9 ---88

Mark II A Gupster, Ahsoka, local fire con,ecm,Paragon---99

GR75 med tr, Ezra,comms net, Bright Hope---25

Mart Mattin, Shara, Tycho ---55

first player bid (hopefully)---384

l don't think it's meta shaking, but it's unusual and a **** of a lot of fun.....rocket in, wreck said Onager,......flee with as much dignity as possible!

contested outpost

superior positions

targeting beacons

objectives just in case....!

Looks good! Only thing I would change is the objectives. Contested outpost is a lot of standing still which this nippy looking fleet would not want I imagine. Asteroid tactics could help recover those admo tokens perhaps, or get evades back that will inevitably get airlocked when you get to close range (but will want when you start running away!)?

Superior positions is asking for a squad list to laugh and start farming. If you can use dust fields really well to ambush your opponents in a nice Ordnance broadside after leaping from cover, I'd suggest Salvage run. If not maybe something like infested fields.

Lastly, their are a few red objectives that could be used instead. Most wanted is always a 'safe choice', surprise attack as well as long as you want to play your other missions (most people in my meta will never pick SA if given the option). If you wanted a laugh, blockade run is always fun too.

Happy flying!

Thank you Alpharius, I like your picks for objectives. Much better!

I’m a fan. I dunno if there’s a ton of value in Kyrsta on an MC30 or not, but I have a lot of confidence in those little guys anyway, it’s hard to go too far wrong with them.

The only thing I would do for certain is add Foresight to the other MC30. It’s an amazingly underrated title anyway, and now with the Onager on the loose, it’s absolutely baller. You could also consider moving Agate to Foresight, and if you DO add Foresight (and I really would), move the Advanced Projectors to Admonition.

That would make about two of the most resilient little tanks I can imagine, and they’d be like, I dunno... nasty little steel space sharks or something.

By the way, get Foresight in there, but keep most of that bid. MC30s love first player, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. Might have to cut some of the cute stuff, like Ezra, and you may not really need Lando on top of all the other defensive options you’ll be using. Also, Derlin is okay, but maybe consider Expert Shield Techs in his seat? Cheaper, and far better against bomber swarms.

Oh, also: Mart Mattin is good, but I think Lando’s Falcon might be even better.

Ezra is cute isn't he? I've been combo-ing him and Marty Mattin since RitR came out. Great what one can do with a GR75 and those two.

I'll be giving this a go on the weekend, Alpharius and Capt ObVus, thanks again and happy hunting!
