100 points.

Provided you could keep ships in arc long enough to kill them this could certainly work. It feels like it could be taken out by nearly any ship that can slip behind though.

nahhh. mangler isnt going to deal much damage past its regular 3 dice anyway.

would rather have had FCS

I think I'd prefer a mix of cannons. Target is stressed? Ion it! Target is ioned? Stress it! Shields up? Laser them heavily! Shields down? Mangle it!

Incidentally, four Lambdas with one of each cannon is exactly 100 points...

36 or 40 hitpoints always look great on paper. But whatever you do, you will not get more than one phase of full shooting at any other list, and once they get past you, it's just over...

So... this exists.

Can I make a nastier version, pretty please? Yorr to fortress up whenever you want, some Accuracy Corrector instead of Mangler, since you're not going to take any actions (who needs those, amirite?)

You're going to to lose on initiative, LOL, unless you put on something like Tactical Jammer on the first Lambda.

Seriously though, I have learned how to use 1 Lambda effectively, I have won occasionally with two, but I cannot for the life of me understand how you can play 3-4 Lambdas, even with fortressing.

edit: can't put Enhanced Scopes, no Systems slot left.

The problem with Jonus and Shuttles is that it's going to be awkward to keep them all at range one and shuttle swarms want to be covering each other instead of being bunched together. As ForceM mentioned above, after the first pass things are going to get messy.
