I have my second infinity event ever coming up. I have spent a ridiculous number of hours looking at lists. I'd love some feedback / advice. Missions are all specialist heavy, and two of them need a good datatracker: Frostbyte / Countermeasures / Supplies / Counter measures List thinking - I have experimented with vanilla YJ and dahshat lists, but oddly keep coming back to wanting Su Jian and Sophotect to keep him (her) on his feet.

If you're feeling squeezed on points, I'd recommend cutting one of your yudbots in each list. You probably don't need both. For example, you could easily replace the second Yudbot in list one with a warcor for a cheap convertable irregular order that also can annoy and slow down the opponent. That said, if you truly want for nothing, they don't hurt by being present. For the first list, your order distribution makes no sense. Your Su Jian wants to be in group one, since he's the most order hungry trooper in ISS, let alone your list, especially the HSG profile. List two I kind of like the balls on. That said, your presence beyond short range is pretty terrible, even with the support from Lunah and the Rudy brothers. I would switch the Crane profile to be the spitfire, and the Zhanying to be a hacker. The Crane can punch at ranges you'll otherwise have trouble dealing with, and can even form a core when you need that sweet +3 mod, and the Zhanying benefits from sixth sense as a hacker even when in a haris.
I think the lists are solid. I agree with the comment on the 2nd one. You need some kind of tool to get out of your DZ if you happen to play on an open table against an opponent with a strong ARO presence like Varuna, IA, NCO, ForCo. Make sure to protect that Sophotect, she has to do a lot of work to keep these remotes alive in case of bad dice.
