So here's a list I want to give a shot and may do so in 2 days at a local tournament.

Airen Cracken

VI

Cluster Missiles

Tala Sq

Concussion missiles

Tala Sq

Concussion missiles

Corran Horn

VI

FCS

R2D2

The idea is on the alpha Cracken attacks twice and gives both Talas their target locks so they both have tl+F missile shots, and with horn for late game as well as 6-8 shots of his own on the alpha it's a possible 20-22 pretty well modified red dice alpha.

Does E'tahn work with secondary weapons? He might be able to buff your alpha strike along with keeping the zs damage relevant after their missiles are gone.

Is predator your main reason for not running 2 Bandits with Homing Missiles instead? I've been tweaking a very similar list. Never thought of the Cluster Missile trick with Airen...very nice.

The predator is somewhat nice, but the reason for me is the prevalence of ps2 rebel swarms like panic attack in my meta. An alpha with the above list should be able to take out a b or a y no problem before they even get to shoot.
