Now that we have a good look at what Tractor Beam does, it makes me want to try this build.

Kihraxz (Cartel Marauder) (20)

TOTAL = 100pts

The idea being to fly them in formation and do the long shots with the M3-A's to make the target more vulnerable and drag them into a more vulnerable position (out of Rang 3, into Range 1 or into more arcs) and the Kihraxz light them up. Additionally, since they're all PS2 it makes it easier for maneuvering, have free reign of my attack order and their higher PS ships have already shot making it safe to drag them into a closer range band.

NOTE: just because both M3-A's have Tractor Beams, doesn't mean they both have to use it that turn (might want to to drop the defence by 2, but that won't help against B-Wings or G-1A's), primary weapons are still an option.

Looks an interesting list, probably the sweetest use for m3a yet, though I am really not sold on stealth device, I would rather upgrade a pilot for that much points, or take glitterastim on all three special k's. Better to give them a juicer target and hope they ignore the m3a.

I like this! I want to use the but tweak it by pulling off the Stealth devices and replacing a khiraxz with a Black Sun Enforcer

It's interesting, but I have a couple of reservations...

The Stealth Device improves the Scyks durability, and the ability to mess around with enemy positioning & reduce agility might help compensate for the list's vulnerability to arc dodgers.

While this looks good on paper, savvy opponents will target the Marauders first, as they're easier to hit and offer the biggest threat. And the increased agility on the Scyks really helps to paint the Marauders as the priority target.

I think I'd still prefer a Mangler Cannon over the Tractor Beam/Stealth Device combo on at least one of the Scyks, or another Marauder.

Ah, I see your point, I didn't want to make M3-A's a main target and shot down immediately thus the stealth devices. But for whatever reason I didn't follow that to the obvious conclusion.
