Manglers on M3As are poor value. You might as well go for HLCs on both instead of Mangler/SD, then drop the Hound's Tooth upgrade to fit in some Hull Upgrades on the Interceptors.

2 x 4 attack dice with Latts' ability seems like it will chew through a lot of targets. If you opt for my suggestion, Hound's Tooth upgrade is much less valuable since your M3As will definitely be targeted first.

Very nice list overall though. Might have to give it a spin myself :)

cartel spacers are fun to fly but are never competitive. the list looks fun for a casual game with buddies

mangler sycks can now be replaced by generic Special-Ks

I am uncertain whether I'd do this, though.

I mean, yeah, I'm not running Mangler Scyks, but they have a far better action bar...

K's with glitterstim will be worthwhile for a similar cost to your m3as. I like the scyks and Razzi. You might be on to something with the ability to push damage.

OK, so here's something to toss around. If I replaced the Scyks's with K's, knowing that Razzi will be 48pts (taking off Houndstooth), which pilots do you use and how do you kit them?

Black Sun Ace — Kihraxz Fighter 23
Predator 3

or

Black Sun Ace — Kihraxz Fighter 23
Glitterstim 2

or

Cartel Marauder — Kihraxz Fighter 20
Glitterstim 2
Hull Upgrade 3

I've been running a very similar list with success. Got to keep the scyks alive for it to do well. I've been thinking of changing hull for stealth device. Take it for a spin.

Sucker Punch

30 x2: Tansarii Point Veteran (17)- Crackshot (1), “Heavy scyk interceptor cannon (2), HLC (7), Hull upgrade (3)

40: Latts Razzi YV-666 (33)-K4 security droid (3), Engine upgrade (4)

It lets you hit turtled ships by taking away defense dice and canceling out evades/tokens and burns down low agility tanks at range.
