I came up with this cute squad that seems like it would be a lot of fun to play. My first thought was to build Nera Dantels as a missle boat with 4 Z-95's flying cover, but then a much sillier idea struck me.

Nera Dantels - 26

Advanced torps - 6

Advanced torps - 6

Push The Limit - 3

Sensor Jammer - 4

Shield Upgrade - 4

=49

Tala Squadron Pilot - 13

Ion Pulse Missile - 3

Munitions Failsafe - 1

=17

Tala Squadron Pilot - 13

Ion Pulse Missile - 3

Munitions Failsafe - 1

=17

Tala Squadron Pilot - 13

Ion Pulse Missile - 3

Munitions Failsafe - 1

=17

The general idea with this build is to use the ion missiles to stun a target and then saddle Nera up next to it and drop a focused advanced torp on it for a 1019/1024 chance at five hits.

Sensor Jammer and Shield Upgrade are there to give Nera a bit of extra life since I'd imagine she will draw most of the hate.

Clearly I can save 6 points by losing the Failsafe's and downgrading to Bandits but I'm not sure what else to do with the points.

Any ideas?

I would stick with regular proton torpedoes. At least have one regular and 1 advance so you can have a wide arc. Also I would have put munition failsafe on Nera as you have 3 Ion missiles and only 2 torpedoes.

Think fire control on Nera would be better. Then you can get the TL earlier in the game without risking PTL. It even frees up the Pilot Trait to other options. (Expose) why have 5 shots when you can have 6.
