The concept of the list was to fit many crisis suits backed by riptides. There is not much in the way of variety here, except for configurations. Not complete, but almost, I think.

[edit] I changed the commander weapons to use ion blaster and airburst weapons for blast spam (both can do this at 2k points)

How many points are you aiming for? As far as I can tell this one is around 1815 so I will shoot for 1850.

The markerlights feel awkward to me, I get the cascading thing, but a some point there will be situations where you end up firing marker lights at a unit with no intent of actually using them and I feels wasteful. Also, the TL weapons on the commander are awkward, he is only missing on a 1 already, so your return on points invested is not very high with twin-linking his guns.

I think I would also rather go with matched weapons since you are spamming so many suits anyway. So, instead of Plasma + TL Fusion on 2 different units, go with Plasma + TL Plasma on one then Fusion + TL Fusion on the other. I feel like this type of setup would reward proper usage of the units by the player more than the current setup. Be careful with the missile drones on the riptides, one dies and the unit will have to make a leadership test. Nothing worse than losing a single drone first turn and having your riptide run off the table.

Farsight Enclave is difficult for me because I LOVE my o'mortal and he just doesn't work without the iridium suit. But I would start with something like:

Commander
Drone controller, 2x Plasma rifle, Target lock

Commander
Drone controller, 2x Missile pod, Talisman of Arthas Moloch, Target lock

XV104 Riptide
Early warning override, Ion accelerator, Twin-linked fusion blaster, Velocity tracker

XV104 Riptide
Early warning override, Earth Caste Pilot Array, Heavy Burst Cannon, Twin-linked fusion blaster, Velocity tracker

XV104 Riptide
Early warning override, Ion accelerator, Twin-linked fusion blaster, Velocity tracker

XV8 Crisis Team
2x Crisis Shas'ui
Fusion blaster, Twin-linked fusion blaster
Crisis Shas'vre
, 2x Fusion blaster, Warscaper Drone
Shield Drone

XV8 Crisis Team
3x Crisis Shas'ui
2x Plasma rifle, Target lock
6x Marker Drone (72pts)

XV8 Crisis Team
3x Crisis Shas'ui
2x Missile pod, Early Warning Override

XV8 Crisis Team
3x Crisis Shas'ui
2x Missile pod, Target lock
6x Marker Drone

Missile Pod commander goes with markerlight drone missile crisis team and tries to stay central to spread the effects of the talisman, plasma with the plasma markerlight team. Fusions outflank to get range and side armor. Riptides cause havoc. I don't necessarily think the list is great or balanced properly for any particular meta (might need more AA, less AA, more AT, more dakka), but it's where I would start with this style of list for my situation.
