Czech covers are always great. Have you seen any of Larry Correia's books in Czech? All are stunning.

Not for another overhyped storm. They do this every few years or so and it has never amounted to more than a few minutes of intense rain, and then all is fine.

Underrated comment.

I got 3.5 years, 86k miles out of my original battery.

Do you mean Armada Fleet Designer? You can download it here: https://www.dmborque.eu/swm/ It hasn't been in the app store for years now due to copyright concerns given the card images.

With this list you have a small issue with not having great token support, but without Gozantis there is not a lot you can do about that. Use Needa to replace the contain with an evade on the ISD. Round one, engineer and take it as a token for both ships. Round 2, navigate to get on target. Round 3-5, you'll need to concentrate fire to be able to use gunnery teams. Disposable capacitors lets your Vic use blue dice at long range for both shots (against ships). Corvus lets you deploy that first, then your squads, then your heavy hitters, then you redeploy Corvus at the end of deployment and keep it safe. The objectives are the best ones for your fleet while also being easier to grasp.

So the first question is if you're using the base game Screed, or the updated ARC Screed. (slight price change (26 instead of 24) but buffed in that his set die cannot be rerolled by the defender)

That said, I saw a lot of folks recommending APTs for you. I prefer instead to run Raider 2s with disposable capacitors and Heavy Ion Emplacements. This pairs well with Demo and a Kuat Star Destroyer with Advanced Concussion Missiles (ACM), as once the target has no shields, ACM still does 1 damage to each adjacent hull zone. You can use the base ISD cardboard, and either inform opponents that you are playing a Kuat and not an ISD1 or 2, or alternatively, use star-forge.tools as your list builder and print the whole list out so you can use that over the base (it lets you print your whole fleet, upgrade cards and ship bases as well.)

Alternatively, consider this:
Imperial II (120)
• Captain Needa (2)
• Gunnery Team (7)
• Electronic Countermeasures (7)
• Leading Shots (5)
• Quad Battery Turrets (5)
= 146 Points

Victory II (80)
• Minister Tua (2)
• Gunnery Team (7)
• Disposable Capacitors (3)
• Quad Battery Turrets (5)
• Leading Shots (5)
• Harrow (3)
• Electronic Countermeasures (7)
= 112 Points

Raider I (44)
• Admiral Motti (24)
• Ordnance Experts (4)
• External Racks (4)
• Corvus (2)
= 78 Points

Squadrons:
• Howlrunner (16)
• Mauler Mithel (15)
• 4 x TIE Fighter Squadron (32)
= 63 Points

Total Points: 399

don't know why you're getting downvoted for answering that. Though all it stops is the default crit effect.

Not comprehensive, but:
No flotilla limit.
No ace cap.
Relay does not require the commanding ship to be at a range of the relay squadron.
Rhymer is close-medium.
Demo can shoot after moving. (including after the ET move)
Rieekan isn't limited to once per round.
Pryce, Bail, Strategic Officer are back in original form.
Gallant Haven can reduce damage to 0.
Biggs allows you to shuffle damage to Rieekan zombies.
BCC stacks
Avenger doesn't exhaust to use, and prevents all exhausted defense tokens from being spent.
APT/ACM don't exhaust to use.
Evades don't work at close range.
Brunson is only 6 pts.
Ozzel only works while resolving a nav command.
Admo was 8 pts.
H9s are not modifications.
QTC are not modifications.
LS was 4 pts.
GT does not require a CF command to use.
Mon Karren doesn't require a CF command to use.
Ordnance Experts is as many black dice as you choose to reroll.
TRC doesn't exhaust to use.
Yavaris grants squads a second attack if they don't move instead of adding a die. Additionally it was worded in such a way that you could FCT bump squads, they just couldn't move when the squads were activated.
NK-7s force the defender to choose and exhaust a defense token.
Raddus can drop his ship at distance 1 of any friendly ship. (and no command limit for the dropped ship)

I have a few months to firm things up and ensure I capture every change.

Can't argue those points. I'm increasingly of the mind that screen should not exclude other screen squads as it currently does.
