Ughhhhhhhhh. Squaaaare pancakes.

Waffles?

My biggest point of curiosity is, with a Ghost and docked Phantom coming in at ~60 points naked, is this going to create an effective 1-ship archetype? Can you load it out with ~40 points of useful upgrades without getting uselessly bloated, and thus potentially fly an entire game by setting only 1 dial, and still have a viable winning list?

nope; it's simply too easy to kill by itself

at least, you're getting a 2-ship list that folds out into a 3-ship list
