What would be the the best upgrade for Howlrunner?
My build start with 4 Gamma Squadron Bombers and Howlrunner. This leaves me with 10 point. Should I go with seismic charges on the bombers or beef up Howlrunner.

Determination is a popular choice, just to avoid that annoying critical hit from wiping out her ability.
Seismic Charges, for sure. The ability to prevent your opponent from moving behind your formation (or punish them severely if they do) is quite powerful.
I'd take seismic charges on the bombers and leave the remaining two points for the Initiative bid so that you can choose to move after other PS4 generics and thus accurately choose when to drop the bombs.
Draw their Fire on one of the bombers, Hull Upgrade and Swarm Tactics on Howl.

No EPT on the bombers unless you take Jonus for an extra four points. Dropping a bomber for a BSP with DtF however would work reasonably well for fifteen points.
Yeah, that.
Determination, swarm tactics, stealth device, or Hull Upgrade.
I'm always a fan of cheap ps buffs and stealth of 3 agi ships
Black Squadron w/ wingman & Howlrunner w/ push the limit is a pain to gun down. Add in a shield, hull, or stealth on howl for extra longevity ![]()
If you equip your bombers and leave Howlrunner naked, she might make a less tempting target.
Determination, swarm tactics, stealth device, or Hull Upgrade.
These are all good choices, but it's worth noting in addition that "nothing" is also a fairly attractive upgrade for Howlrunner.
If you really want to do bomber swarm with empty bays, drop Howlrunner.
Drop the 4 Gammas to Scimitar Squadron Bombers.
Take Jendon in a Lambda shuttle with ST-321 title, Fire-Control System, and Engine Upgrade.
By the time you get to the fight, several of your bombers will have target locks+focus, and you'll have a frustratingly high number of hull and shield points.
Personally, I wouldn't run empty bombers though.
You could drop 1 bomber, that would free up the points to add a Gunner to Jendon (FCS + Gunner = Buzzsaw) and 3 concussion missiles to your 3 Scimitars. You dead set on flying a wall of 4 bombers?

Stealth device.
I've used Push the Limit on her, and i haven't been unhappy with it.
