You are running Rhymer wrong he needs PTL to make his attacks hit home.

For an escort a black wingman or epsilon leader is great.

Ditch the failsafe, guidance chips are out next week.

Run two munitions and a bomb. With EM that's 4 shots and you won't get many more then that.

Proton rockets and proton torpedoes work well. I was running plasmas and adv. torps but these kick just as hard and are cheaper in more then one way.

Every epsilon is really just a crackshot black squadron waiting to bloom

(Use black squadrons with crackshot and never look back unless you have 18 for some omega crack)

Ick, really not digging that Rhymer build. I like Buddyfett's advice: unless he's running with APTs, Rhymer is going to want guidance chips starting next week (and if he was, I'd go PTL+TIEmkII.)

Personally though, I don't think he's really going to need PTL if he's using chips and appropriate ordnance. Give him VI and you have a PS9 bomb dropper, then go with maybe proton rockets and whatever.

I think Rhymer with

PTL

EM

Prockets

Cluster missles (just for Horton)

and a bomb

and chimps

Another good thought would be a BSP with wingman (as already suggested)

Proton torpedoes also a good option, APTs are too expensive, in my opinion

42 points gets you redline with fcs, clusters, homing missile, extra munitions, seismic charges, and guidance chimps and it's got quite a bit of punch. I'd be very tempted to go for that over anything with rhymer. If you want only 40 points just drop the bombs and there you go.
