I know I have some unnecessary war gear on some of my guys, particularly my commander and my hammerhead, I was wondering how I could fix this and still have a good list.

Looks like a whole lot of point sinking.

things that you generally don't need:

Commander is wasting points if he is shooting or not. try to move the MSSS, CCN onto another suit to maximize shooting or cut it as it would be a waste. also every commander should have iridium armor. its way to good not to take even at low points.

Elite: crisis suits of whatever flavor is at your digression and play style bonding ritual and marker drones seem weak on helios suits which will generally be danger close. i suggest cutting.

TR: 20 points to make one of your guys a pathfinder.
trim and make your troop basic full squads. use all that points to get a squad of pathfinders.
point defense seems like a waste on devil fishes but Il reserve that judgment till i try it.

FA: bonding knifes are a bit of a waste of points.

HS: seekers on your broadsides are a waste and if i recall you can only ever shoot two weapon systems (and marker light shots dont help as it isnt specified i needa check)
Cut some points and get long strike on your hammer head it is worth the points.

I see what you are saying about the broadsides. I thought they could use seeker missiles like the sky ray but I guess they can't. I'm thinking of putting them on the Longstrike hammerhead instead. As for the commander I stripped him down of most of his stuff and gave it to the squads. And the fire warriors I stripped them down to the bare bones 12 man squads.
