This could be fun... I don't think Snap Shot works out the rear SF Arcs, but either way this is how I hope it works:

The Lightweight Frame/Spec Ops title should give the SF a very similar 3/3/3/3 base stat against most enemies. Sounds like a Defender hey? A little cheaper, no free evade (or evade), a little worse dial. But more toys!

Ideally the round goes:

Intel agent - using barrel roll, attempt position all three pilots to snap shot an enemy unit.

Bomber snap shots - triggers vader.

Either Omega snap shots - triggers FCS

Bomber follows up with another shot and Vader if needed

Omega's follow up with missiles or standard attacks.

problems?

all three ships are fairly slow and lumbering.

You are correct that Snap Shot is primary arc only.

If you drop Vader, you can afford Captain Jonus. You lose the auto-damage, but you gain re-rolls for your Cluster Missiles.
