Hey guys. I've been watching the films recently and the pilots seem to focus on enemy squad leaders during combat.

I was kicking around this idea in my head as an alternate game mode. The objective is to shoot down the enemy's squad leader while protecting your own. At the start of the game you build a 120 point squad, and designate your leader. You choose if s/he gets the Swarm Tactics or Squad Leader (minus pilot skill requirement)EPT for free, even if they don't have the slot. This gives you an incentive to expose your leader and keep the game interesting.

Sounds fun to me but I'm worried about potential ways to break the game.

Any ideas?

A heavy torpedo build would be able to focus fire the ship down easy.

Also you might want to eliminate Biggs.

A few more justifications:

The 120 points allows you to trick out some ships (like you've always wanted) without throwing off the balance, since you don't have to kill them all.

It could, potentially, be a shorter game mode. Great for sqeezing in an extra game before the game store closes.

As I'm writing this, I'm imagining Awings (and interceptors, to an extent) becoming the MVP's of this mode, which is interesting.
