I used to play IA in N3 and looking at trimming the sectoral. Can you guys post your favorite IA lists. When I list build I find I don't like the final product in N4 and play something else.
I've found IA to be much more fun in N4 as all that ARM we're paying for is now more valuable due to the crit changes, and due to that our pieces have become very hard to shift by conventional means, and the advantage in raw stats can be leveraged better in the reactive turn. I think the faction does have some weaknesses, especially around hacking and lack of good zone control tools- they will not be well-suited for all missions and will suffer against vanilla Nomads and CA in particular (but then again who doesn't), but I find the faction to have enough depth and versatility to have game in most missions and matchups. With my "generic" IA lists I focus on straightforward aggression and try to leverage superior firepower in both active and reactive turns. They will lose pieces to e/m or pitchers but I've generally found the lists robust enough to recover: gMwPaW52aW5jaWJsZS1hcm15ClVuZ2EgQnVuZ2GBLAIBCgCAlgENAACAlgELAACFpQEDAAB%2FAQkAAICWAQwAAITcAQUAAITeAQUAAICKAQEAAHwBCQAAgI4BAQACAQCAjgEBAA%3D%3D gMwPaW52aW5jaWJsZS1hcm15ClRoaWNjIExhZHOBLAIBCgCE3AEFAACF2QEBAACAlgELAACE3gEDAACE3gEFAAB8AQkAAICKAQEAAICDAQcAAICfAQEAAICOAQEAAgEAgI4BAQA%3D
