So I have been Working on ways to win ever since 2.0 came out. I was running a full republic fleet with boba geo and Cassian as the other 3 so I had no choice but to rebuild my fleet strategy from scr...

So I have made some changes to my fleet.
The initial composition worked, but was still too heavily dependent on RNG.
Target lock from TFP mattered because it meant that 5s couldn't hit X1 to make him go before Ahsoka so that Biggs has a chance of not having taunt when the next turn rolls around for taking out TFP in 1 shot. Basically there were just enough wrinkles to make it a pain to run.
However, I have now switched to running Poe, Silencer, 5s as my starting 3 and I have yet to lose a match on offense since doing so. I have killed an opponent's ship in my opening flurry every single match so far as well. I moved Ahsoka into a backup position and took out Consular.
The reason this really works is because it enables 5s to go last in my starting flurry yet still before any of the ships you usually see on their side besides TIEs (still before x1 though).
This is awesome for a few reasons. 1. Oftentimes 5s is killing someone with his blow, which means that the tm he gives out whenever he attacks doesn't help the enemy at all. 2. Concentrated damage like this that goes in a predictable order makes killing a ship on their side quickly easily, which puts the match safely in my hands from the very start.
I have so much speed and damage in my starting fleet right now, taking down 1 of their ships before most of their fleet has gone is more than tipping the scales in my favor, it's tipping them over.
