This list has been so fun! All the low pilots are lvl 3, allowing me to choose the order in which they fly, putting them on par with uboats, as well as being above ps2 pilots to not get hit so hard by predator. Kagi moving last allows me hand out focuses and tl to whoever needs em. Also, the synergy between Kagi and Deathfire puts my opponent off guard every time. At ps8, Kagi does a green and tells Deathrain to take a tl. Doing this action allows him to drop a bomb late in the movement phase, as well as acquiring a tl to shoot off a torp. Then, when Deathfire moves next turn, he drops another bomb on the same spot as he did before. The incoming dmg from this is insane! 8D

Awesome! At first I thought how Systems Officer wasn't doing a whole lot for a bunch of ships with 2 attack dice. Then I got to the part about Deathfire's surprise bomb dropping at PS 8. Very clever!

...Oh, except I just realized it may not work. Notice that Systems Officer allows a friendly ship to "acquire a target lock," not "perform an acquire a target lock action," which are two different things (Rules Reference, page 3). So Deathfire probably doesn't get to drop his bomb off of Systems Officer. Bummer.

And as for the 2 dice attacks, I'm always in range 1 causing my opponent to bump a ship. The difference being is I'm the one with focuses and tl on my other ships he didn't bump against :P
