As the title suggests I am looking for any kind of Imperial lists.

Any ideas are welcome, even themes or general concepts that outline an idea.

Have at it, gentlemen.

Heavy fighters. Tank it up with like two Advanced's and a few bombers but no extra gear.

This is currently my favorite list:

Winterceptors
Soontir Fel (27)
Push the Limit (3), Royal Guard TIE (0), Stealth Device (3), Targeting Computer (2)
[35]

Carnor Jax (26)
Predator (3), Royal Guard TIE (0), Hull Upgrade (3), Stealth Device (3)
[35]

Turr Phennir (25)
Veteran Insincts (1), Hull Upgrade (3)
[29]

Total - 99

A trio of super agile, super tricked out Interceptors. All PS8 or 9 and fairly durable between stealth devices, hull upgrades and multiple actions. Best bet is to stay out of arcs as much as possible and pick off targets as they present themselves.

Still don't get Carnor Jax. Out of all the crazy times me and buddy run interceptors it's all about that Lt. Lorrir.

Lorrir is a hoot and a half, no doubt. He either loses it first time he gets shot or he's a hero.

Jax is brutal with that lovely PS8 and denying focus/evade. Once he gets up close to formation they either have to break up, making them easy pickings, or they lose a lot of defense/offense from action denial and you can blow them away. Considering most Rebel ships only have 2 actions to begin with, losing half of them really cuts down on their options.

Howlrunner
Backstabber
Mauler Mithel
Obsidian Squadron Pilot
Academy Pilot x3

It is really tricky to deal with when piloted well, but it can take some practice to get the manuvering down.

Vader w/ Stealth Device & Evasive
Soontir Fel w/ Stealth Device & Push the Limit
Tur Fennir w/ Stealth Device & Push the Limit

3 ships that are really hard to pin down, use Vader to tank at range 1 and let the other 2 do your main damage.

Wedge w Push the Limit & R2 Astromech
Luke w/ R2D2 & Push the Limit
Hobbie w/ R2D6 & Push the Limit

this is another tricky list, since there is no synergy you can divide your ships without losing any advantages, each ship has Focus+Target Lock and a good way to "wash" the stress from Push the Limit.

I've run:

Captain Jonus (22)
Deadeye (1)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Proton Torpedoes (4)
Proton Bomb (5)

Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Proton Torpedoes (4)
Proton Bomb (5)

Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Proton Torpedoes (4)
Proton Bomb (5)

Academy Pilot (12)

Total: 100

It's not a competitive list, but it's fun and a bit tanky.

Bombers fly in formation with a nasty punch. The single TIE fighter flies far enough behind to avoid the bombs while both deterring chasers, and also finishing off anyone hurt by bombs.

My standby, drive my girlfriend insane list is as follows:

4x Academy Pilots

1x Soontir Fel

1x Turr Phennir

Not a single upgrade to be seen, which does limit options somewhat (Fel is godly with Push the Limit), but four TIE fighters and 2 Interceptors gives you considerable firepower and complete table control. I usually see people try to take out the two interceptors first, being the highest threat, but since you're guaranteed to outnumber the enemy, the basic fighters can tear into them.

A new one I'm looking forwards to is:

Rexler Brath (Tie Defender) w/ Cluster Missiles, Heavy Laser Cannon, Outmaneuver and Stealth Device

Whisper (Tie Phantom) w/ Navigator, Sensor Jammer, Veteran Instincts, Advanced Cloaking Device

The idea is Brath can engage at any distance, and use the Tie Defenders superb mobility and white K-Turn to get wherever he needs to be to optimally use his weapons. If you're focused, he can make all damage criticals, which the Heavy Laser Cannon can't do naturally, and is ideal for wrecking the ubiquitous Falcon or other high-hull ships. Whisper, meanwhile, is impossible to hurt, and by using a navigator with his high pilot skill, you can be obscenely unpredictable with your movement coming out of cloak.

Probably not optimal, but it works.

The problem I see for lists with with only a single stealth device is that the Rebs will just shut it down with the Z95 LT who auto hits, get clocked with an ion missile and focused, probably say goodbye to that ship. 20 points to possibly lockdown and destroy a troublesome opponent, heck yeah I'll take it.

The stealth device is more a case of "I've only got a couple of points left, what works?"

Besides, I never actually succeed at making dodge rolls anyways.
