Would this work? Or have I spent to much time locked up in a room at work staring at my phone?

Alpha strike that requires you to get into R1 to work? I'm pretty skeptical. Losing autothrusters for a possible 1 extra damage doesn't seem a good trade to me (considering that a ship is likely to die before firing its rockets against many lists featuring higher PS). And having to take wingman to make up for the disadvantage of Rage makes it same value as push the limit, but with more restrictions, so in the end, you'd be better off just taking push the limit (at least gives you the option for focus+evade to allow your ships to actually survive long enough to get their rockets off...maybe)

A wings have that sweet 5 Green. They can start outside of range 3 and zip into range 1 unload prockets, jobs a good'n.

Auto thrusters in this list strikes me as a waste they always want to be at range one to maximize rage. That and this list goes before most tlt spam lists which are really the only turrets I see anymore. And I like rage better than PTL lock focus because rage isn't target specific so I can still benefit from the rerolls on a secondary targets if I get arc dodged by my primary target.
