My only advice would be to get Ordnance expert on those GSD's, Black dice rerolls on GSD's can make a world of difference.

I've used them with glad's, give a GSD engine techs, and you have an entire force that could go speed 4, meaning you can rush in pretty quickly, combine that with the demonlisher title and your throwing dice turn 1 potentially.

In theory you could do some kind of epic tourny over a long time where factions battle for control of the galaxy, couple planets at a time

While my raiders usually die, they like to take most of the enemy squadrons down with them

I'm a fan of this, once I can afford an ISD ill probably do this, I was also thinking just for laughs use a Raider II with the overload pulse combined with an ISD or VSD

problem there is the massive point commitment for an ISD II, i'd love a raider or my fighters to pay for it

personally I think the VSD II should get a speed boost, in star wars lore the VSD I was slow, and the VSD was given a new engine to allow it to keep up with the rest of the fleet, then again if the VSD II could go speed 3, no one would take the VSD I. Speed is the biggest draw back of the VSD, while it can be overcome it's only best when you have the advantage on the table, if your playing defensively the VSD can quickly be out classed.

I've found raiders very effective to thin out rebel fighter balls, combined with a decent fighter screen and i've wiped out all rebel fighters in 1 or two turns before they have a chance to damage any capital ships

Ships id like to see, Imperial: CR92a Assassin class corvette Strike Cruiser Interdictor 418 Ton-Falk-class escort carrier Nebulon-B2 frigate Enforcer-class picket cruiser ( as an alternative card to the 418) Praetor Mark II-class battlecruiser Bellator-class Star Destroyer(maybe) Tie Avenger Tie Defender Phantom Tie XG-1 Star Wing Assault Gunboat Rebel: MC40a Light Cruiser Dreadnought Modified Strike cruiser (from X-wing vs tie fighter when the rebels stole gravity well projectors) Nebulon B-2 Dauntless class cruiser DP20 (otherwise known as the Corellian gunship) Z-95 T-wing E-wing

So I am fairly new to Armada, only two games under my belt and I could use some advice and building a good list with what I have (being that after Christmas period funds are short), I do have a second VSD I could swap into the mix. any advice would be appreciated.
