All of them are Pilot Level 8.

These 3 ships should stay together in close formation. Dutch moves last (to grant a target lock) shortly before the fight starts. He also shoots first, because of his Plasma weapons.

It's an evil Alpha Strike list, which I have played a few times already. Actually.. if you want to see other Jouster lists like Defenders running, that's what you could play.

It has got some serious problems though: As soon as the secondary weapons are gone, this list has got a huge problem. They are not very fast and / or maneuverable.

Any thoughts? How could I improve this? And what should I do with the last 2 points?

Before I forget to mention....

Of course Miranda fires a 5 attack dice Missile, using one of her shield points.

The initial strike should go like this:

Horton moves forward, reaches range 3 to an enemy, picks focus.

Miranda moves forward in formation, reaches range 3 to an enemy, picks Target Lock.

Dutch moves forward, reaches range 3 to an enemy, picks Target Lock and grants an additional Target Lock to Horton.

Now they can all fire on the same target.

At the beginning of the combat round, Miranda takes one focus back from Rey.

Now Horton and Miranda have got everything they need for a perfect shot.

Just Dutch has got... ONLY the Target Lock.

Biggest change would be to swap the torps. Horton can reroll blanks (and should have focus due to free TL), so he should get the Plasmas. I would also consider bumping Miranda's Concussion Missiles up to Homing Missiles, since in the unlikely event you get more than 2 blanks on your roll you still have an excellent chance of getting 5 hits with Chips.
