We have an 'Alpha Strike' and we have an 'Ace' that is able to survive till end game.

Would this be enough?

Interesting list, but not sure what purpose the blacksun tracer will serve, given that he's TL'ing at the same pilot skill... I suppose if you get the ideal joust he allows the alpha team to take focus, but that seems a little unlikely to me?

The tracers are Attack (Focus) so you don't need to TL. It can activate the other missiles quite well.

@Starkiller.

Love the concept of this list. Makes a lot of sense to pair one-shot ordinance with Xisor's need for meat shields.

The tracer caddie is very susceptible to being removed before having a chance to fire. If that happens, the respectable punch of 3 missiles will fall flat on the first turn and you may have trouble setting up the missiles on future turns. Xisor is also lacking any efficiency.

I'd be inclined to trade the tracer caddie and one of the others to insert a U-boat [i apologize if you are specifically trying to avoid the current craze. I have no problem with the U-boats, just wish that 3 in one list was not a thing]. This would be typical U-boat without extra munitions.

Another option trades out soldiers for pirates to add a slaver and additional goodies on Xisor:

Xisor: VI, AT, title, FCS

Slaver: tracer, 4-LOM

2x Pirate: concussion, guidance

I must confess that Xizor would need at least FCS to be effective, which would cost 3 points on him.

But he would also need AT. It even don't help to downgrade him to Guri ...

Of course right now you can make any scum list better by just 'adding an U-Boat', don't you? ;)

But then, it isn't a Black Sun themed list any longer...
