Looking at trying one of the following lists tomorrow:

List 1:

Scum Kath: Calculation + Mangler Cannon + Recon Spec. + Slave 1 + Munitions Failsafe + Ion Torps.

2x Syndicate Thug: Ion Turret + Unhinged Astromech

List 2:

MandoMerc: Slave 1 + Ion Torps. Syndicate Thug: Ion turret + Unhinged Astromech 2x Black Sun Soldier: Assault missiles

There are a lot of swarms run at my FLGS and I've had problems in the past with them. I figure the Ion torps and assault missiles can still be used on a YT (if I run into one), just won't get the added bonuses. If I time it right with list two, I could still Ion a large ship with the torps and the turret. Thoughts? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Edited for clarity.

Any thoughts? I'll be using one of these later today, so I'd like to get some thoughts beforehand.
