The only problem I can see is that general consensus is...enhanced scopes sucks. It would be better to stick on an Advanced Sensors, then maybe downgrade the Conner Net to an Ion Bombs. Both ionize, but Ion Bombs allow you to drop two Bombs in one round, if needed.

(Advanced Sensors to drop Proximity Mines, barely roll, reveal maneuver dial, drop Ion Bombs, move and just fly over it, it won't hurt you).

The fighter screen looks good,although I wonder abouse the inclusion of Dark Curse. You may be better off dropping him to an academy, and then just using those extra points to upgrade Deathrain without worrying about downgrading her loadout.

Enhanced Scopes isn't terrible on "Deathrain". You guarantee you won't be blocked and can therefore bomb whoever you please.

I've played this to some success:

FAQ pg 3.:

"a ship may only drop one bomb per round."

I think ES works well on Deathrain giving her the ability to "poop and scoot" leaving an explosive gift for anyone moving after her. The prox and connor net, due to their size, increase the odds of having someone maneuver over them. It may not be worlds worthy but for casual and store play it should do well.

I prefer bombs that don't require an action. Seismic charges, protons and ions.

I love flying this squad and I have done okay with it. Plan on using it for a store championship.
