This is my take on a turn 1 alpha stirke to cripple the enemy:

Supreme Command Detachment:
Commander - 4 Fusion - 2 Marker Drones
Commander - 4 Fusion - 2 Marker Drones
Commander - 4 Fusion - 2 Marker Drones
Coldstar Commander - ATS - Drone Controller

Supreme Command Detachment:
Commander - 3 Cyclic Ion Blaster - ATS - 2 Gun Drones
Commander - 3 Cyclic Ion Blaster - ATS - 2 Gun Drones
Commander - 3 Cyclic Ion Blaster - ATS - 2 Gun Drones
Coldstar Commander - ATS - Drone Controller

Vanguard Detachment
Commander - 4 Missile Pods
(3) Piranha - Burst - 2X Seeker Missile, Piranha - Burst - 2X Seeker Missile, Piranha - Burst - 2X Seeker Missile
(2) Piranha - Burst - 2X Seeker Missile, Piranha - Burst - 2X Seeker Missile
(2) Piranha - Burst - 2X Seeker Missile, Piranha - Burst - 2X Seeker Missile

12 Drops (ITC is just a +1 if you finish first)
Group Piranhas + MP Commander + Coldstars together
Cast Kauyan
Drop all commander down, while moving 1 coldstar near the fusions for drone controller and 1 coldstar near cyclic ion blasters for drone controller
Turn 2 positions piranha's in between commanders and the enemy as they move 16", and when they die the drones disembark so the enemy has to kill 2 units per piranha to start targetting my commanders

I know it's the it list right now but these commander lists just hurt my eyes

Seriously, use a Y'vahra, R'alai, or rapid fire rail rifles with Darkstrider

I think you're well positioned for RPS. But because your damage dealers have 18" range, in certain deployment types you can be bubble wrapped outside your range for the targets you really want.

Is ITC bringing back modified maelstrom? Piranhas are great for that, ditto Coldstars, so you'd be well positioned there.

I'm not quibbling, I think you're pretty much fully optimized. Just sad that this is where we are.
