So if Ten Numb is there, with the E2 mod to equip a Mercenary Co-Pilot and also takes a Mangler Cannon, does that mean potentially three {hit} get converted to three {crit} results?

Marksmanship converts {focus} results to one {crit} and the rest {hit}

Merc & Mangler then combine to change two of the {hit} to {crit}

Then of those three {crit} results, one of them cannot be cancelled by defense dice.

Correct on all counts.

Not quite. His name is Ted Numb now.

Yes, while this is something you *can* do - I would warn that is not something you *should* do. Ten is already really expensive so throwing a lot of upgrades on him to get more than 1 crit is usually a waste of points. I would suggest taking only one of those (less so the Merc Copilot, go with either the mangler or marksmanship). Typically if you do get 2 or more crits, your opponent will just cancel all but the one that Ten prevents from being cancelled.

By all means load everything onto a 1 agility ship, that way the game ends quicker when its taken out first

It's always the expensive ones that get targeted for destruction early. If you put too much faith in a "one-hit wonder", it invariably turns sour when the opposing squad concentrates on it.

I tend to come up against folks that use a lot of 2-dice attacks. It's not a huge stretch to get something like this on the table and chew up the opposition, even with their 3-dice Agility base.

I've killed a b-wing with a decimator in two turns, I've killed one with a mini swarm in a single turn.

They are tough little ships but not able to withstand concentrated fire for long.
