Ordnance Experts on the Garel's Honor. You want to make that External Rekts shot count.

Admo is more likely to want Lando tbh. Mc75 is probably only taking one hit all game. 

Most wanted sadly.

Hyperspace assault is kind of amusing. Otherwise planetary ion cannons.

Dangerous territory. 

You want objectives that let your fleet spread.

I'd be tempted to put Raddus on Jaina's Light. You want Admonition to go in close (which is risky) while the CR90 should hang out at a safe distance.

Most Wanted. Boring but the only sensible option for a Raddus list. Advanced Gunnery is a possibility (for the MC30), but... why risk it?

Contested Outpost is the "safe" Raddus option, I think. You park your fleet near it, if they come in you drop the MC75 and kill them all. Sure you'll only have a small command value near before the drop, but by the time they get close you'll have the MC75+Hammerhead. Hyperspace Assault is an interesting option; but definitely stick Raddus on the CR90 for that, so Admonition can go into Hyperspace.

Solar Corona is the safe choice; gets you back the deployment advantage.  Superior Positions might work with all those CR90s, but risky against squadrons. Salvage Run could be sneaky; drop the MC75 and Hammerhead early, on top of the tokens, pick them all up quickly. But risky as you've then dropped the MC75 and you don't have any Strategic.

I thought this as well and putting Raddus on Cr90 JL.  How do you get your MC75 to only take one hit? Mine literally melts everytime I put it down.

**** this is so scary to put Raddus, key of my strat, on such a fragile ship 🙈

But I get it, you guys are right.

 Beside that fine tuning, the fleet is ok in your opinion? As half of my opponents play BTAvenger lists, is my list good to deal with that?

Aspiration is a better answer to BTA.  Is it a Kuat or a 1?  I’d definitely swap Profundity if you’re facing Kuats because they can one shot you with only a moderately better than average shot.
