determination on the decimator is something one of my friends swears by (simply ignoring pilot damage cards? yes please)
100 point Imperial List
I got a Decimator! The thing absolutely crushed my buddy's squadron (of two X-Wings, an A-Wing, and a B-Wing), the list I ran was:
Chiraneau w/ Isard, Dauntless, Ruthlessness
Howlrunner w/ Swarm Tactics
2x Academy Pilot TIEs
Wow that large ship killed it. Even when you only are moving a 1 maneuver it still gets going because of the size of the base, its 2 straight is almost the same as a TIE's 3 straight! Not to mention the ability to shoot in a 360 firing arc, and if your opponent is all bunched up Ruthlessness deals out damage to secondary targets. Oicunn looks like he'd be fun to play, just bash your ship right into the centre of your opponent's squadron and mop up some hits. Bumper cars in space! My TIEs ran interference, moved in much faster than the Decimator did and just got in the way of the Rebel ships while doing as much damage as they could before dying. They really set up Chiraneau to sweep in and blast away the remaining hit points.
Fun times!! Tonight I see if I can take this list down with my double X-Wing double Z-95 list, I'm really hoping to push a bunch of Crits at the large ship with Marksmanship. Otherwise I think I'm likely toast! :laugh:

Just to kinda keep things going on the Empire, too much love for the rebellion means you go away Alderaan style.
I wrote up this little fun list, thinking about wanting to try it out in the next couple of days.
most likely this list would do poorly against most lists, I kinda made it for scenario missions where a lone Large ship is running away from the Empire, a la the Falcon's run from the death star...
Royal Guard Pilot — TIE Interceptor 22
Marksmanship 3
Shield Upgrade 4
Hull Upgrade 3
Royal Guard TIE 0

Tetran Cowall — TIE Interceptor 24
Marksmanship 3
Shield Upgrade 4
Hull Upgrade 3
Royal Guard TIE 0

@ntaw if you plan on running Decimators, I tend to fight some variant of the below
"Mr. RAMMING SPEED"
Captain Oicunn — VT-49 Decimator 42
Ruthlessness 3
Ysanne Isard 4
Mara Jade 3
Recon Specialist 3
Anti-Pursuit Lasers 2
"Mr. I get Evade Dice Now"
Commander Kenkirk — VT-49 Decimator 44
Determination 1
Recon Specialist 3
Ysanne Isard 4
Hull Upgrade 3
----
I haven't had too much experience against Rear Admiral Chiraneau, but something along these lines this is what I would probably use.
Rear Admiral Chiraneau — VT-49 Decimator 46
Predator 3
Ion Torpedoes 5
Weapons Engineer 3
Mara Jade 3
Tactician 2
Tactical Jammer 1
----
In general I found that the Decimator, with Mara Jade & Co, to be the best way to FORCE Stress upon your opponent, since the Decimator is mostly going to end up in R1 at least once, probably 3-4 times, and Rebel ships with Stress is NO BUENO.
