We just (JUST) got a group in my area together for semi regular play. There isn't a solid local meta yet, but Imperials have been winning the local store tournaments with staples like Palpatine on RAC and Quickdraw . So I don't think I'll be getting to the regionals in New York for December, but maybe the one here in Massachusetts come March. Fortunately my ships weren't effected by the new FAQ, and I didn't start flying  my Defenders until after they got nerfed.

Either way I'll be flying Quickdraw + Swarm Leader + Special Ops Training + Pattern Analyzer + Lightweight Frame + Fire-Control System and a Delta Squadron Pilot + Twin Ion Engine Mk. II + TIE/x7 with Countess Ryad + Adaptability (decrease) + Twin Ion Engine Mk. II + TIE/x7

Quickdraw is the heavy hitter here being able to roll up to 6 attack dice on the retaliation shot from Swarm Leader taking the evades off the Defenders. I have really enjoyed the psychology of the list. Unless you can one shot Quickdraw, you probably don't want to attack her first, but an x/7 Defender with all its tokens doesn't seem very appealing either.
