I have just recently split the taskforce box of Sorylian Collective and Relthoza, to get someone into playing. I was wondering what I should look at getting to flush out the Sorylian with. I know I will be getting the patrol box, what else should I look at for them. I play Terran and Dindrenzi. I enjoy the the Dindrenzi more than the Terran if that helps with suggestions.

Purely from theory research I've done: the battleship is pretty ordinary so it might pay to look at the battle cruisers as an alternative tier 1, fore kinetic weapons for you. Otherwise start from tier 3s and work up, that's where the sorylians real strength is.

If you like Dindrenzi, you'll want to try the Kestros Destroyers and/or the Warwolf Gunships. If Harvesters or Lucerne's are your other cruiser squad(s), then you might actually be able to buy them.
For Tier 1's, Sorylians are a big bag of disappointments. I've tried the Dreadnought many times, but it never punches enough for its cost. Even once having the aft end of TWO Tarakian BB's on either side, the DN couldn't do squat. It feels like they WAY over-tax for the Scatter MAR.
Most folks dislike the Hasta's, but they're the only Tier 1 I've ever gotten mileage from.
As mentioned, The Tier 3's are where its at. Or praying 3.0 rules do them justice.
