2 ship S&V build:

IG88B (built in gunner with equipped cannon)

Mangler Cannon( turn 1 hit to crit)

PTL (perform another action, receive stress)

Autothrusters (turn one blank green dice to evade if equipped with boost and outside firing arc or range 3)

IG-2000 (share all other IG-2000 pilot abilities)

FCS (acquire target lock on defender after attack)

Hot-Shot Blaster (Discard and perform 360 attack)

IG88C (evade token after boost)

Mangler Cannon

PTL

Autothrusters

IG-2000

FCS

Hotshot blaster

That is 98 points with both my ships having a built in gunner and getting evade tokens every time they boost from IG-2000. So with PTL they are getting 3 actions a turn plus acquiring a TL from whoever they shoot at. Not worried about stress with all that green.

What do people think of this? Heavy defense and heavy hitting combo.

I like it. 2 ship IG will surely be fun. I like B ability best as well.

Mangler is going to be my go to cannon as well.

It's illegal. PTL and VI are the same slot. Also, I don't think VI will really be neccessary. In today's meta, a jump from PS6 to PS8 doesn't do much for you. Really the only thing it does it potentially tie you with Chinnearu and VI Echo. Also, your description of autothrusters is wrong - it only changes a blank to an evade if outside of the primary arc or at range 3+. With the two points you save from getting rid of VI, you can put hot shot blaster on the other IG88 as well.

Argh! Just noticed that. Sorry guys...too much excitement today with this news. Fixed the above.
