Playing in a small tournament with friends tomorrow. All ships have to be scum, but all upgrades allowed. Here is my list:

IG88-B (45) Aggressor (36), Fire-Control System (2), Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

IG88-C (43) Aggressor (36), Veteran Instincts (1), Fire-Control System (2), “Mangler” Cannon (4) Binayre Pirate (12)

Thoughts?

It's worth a shot. The one thing I would change is the Veteran Instincts on IG-88C. With two large ships flying all over the place, I've found I really benefited from them being the same pilot skill so I could choose which to activate first. If you keep Veteran Instincts, you'll need to really make sure you're thinking at least 2 turns ahead (which I suppose you should be doing anyway).

Originally I had VI on both and HLC and Ion cannon, but I this way with mangler cannon, I can shoot from any range and deal more damage.

Yeah, I might drop B's HLC to a "Mangler" so you can get VI on both. From there, you can put Inertial Dampeners on both or put Seismic Charges on one of them. Feedback Array is another option.

I did end up dropping HLC to a mangler cannon, worked out pretty decent. I did put dampners on one IG-88, and that way at 99 points I can choose to keep iniative or not.

At ps6 I wouldn't worry about initiative
