List One-
•Remove shield generators from Crisis Suits. They are far too expensive for what they do. By doing that, you free up 150 points.
•Switch the HRR Broadsides for HYMP broadsides. There's no reason to ever bring HRRs since they nerfed them from S10 to S8.
•There's no reason to use a Coldstar commander. Drop and replace with vanilla commander.
•Remove Velocity Trackers from Riptides. Give all Riptides Early Warning Override. Give the non-FBC squad of Broadsides velocity trackers.
•Drop the Shas'vre upgrades from the Broadsides. It's 10 points for +1 LD and nothing else.
•Use the 200 or so points I freed up for Markerlights. That means put a drone controller on your commander and take a Drone Net VX1-0.

List Two-
Same general advice applies. You really don't need 9 dual flamer suits, replace those weapons with Fusion Blasters or other useful weapons. Remove the Shield Generators. You have 225 points tied up in pointless shields for suits. Drone Net is good. Buff one squad up to 8 drones and put a Mark'O in it.
