Heard of this idea somewhere, but 40HP vs bomblets seems pretty great. Plus all those red die would eat Nym. You can't dodge that many arcs! (or can you?)

If someone flies this, that would be amazing. Better yet: fly it at regionals!

Looks awesome, but... the Lambda still takes like 3 turns to turn around. However...

36 hull, the same amount of red dice, extra stress from Kylo's shuttle! And it only takes 2 turns to make a 180...

Bat Flight, reporting in!

Three and Soontir!

I'm actually planning on trying a slight variation on this.

The argument:

• Fire control system is cheap and powerful when firing at the same target time after time.
  • On a ship with gunner which can fire multiple times a turn it's great
  • On a ship with a decent dial which can 'chase' a given opponent, it's great
  • In a list with limited firepower (which will take several turns of shooting to bring down an opponent) it's great
  • In this list, you have none of the above. The lamda's dial means it has to take whatever shots it can get, and getting any shot takes precedence over getting 'the best' shot.
• Control, on the other hand, is a good idea. The best way to improve the Lamda's dial is to mess up your opponent's dial; stress tokens, ion tokens, tractor tokens and blocking all count.

Therefore, my variation on the same theme:

• Omicron Group Pilot
  • Electronic Baffle
  • Tractor Beam
  • Tactician
• Omicron Group Pilot
  • Electronic Baffle
  • Tractor Beam
  • Tactician
• Omicron Group Pilot
  • Electronic Baffle
  • Tractor Beam
  • Tactician
• Omicron Group Pilot
  • Electronic Baffle
  • Tractor Beam
  • Tactician

This works better than just tacticians alone; since tactician applies "After you perform an attack", you can tractor someone, and boost or barrel roll them into your range 2 'stress zone' - or hand them off into the arc of a second (or third) tactician.

.To taste, swap 1-2 tractor/tactician loadouts with ion cannons (because Ion + Stress is much nastier than either alone).

Honestly, yes, you probably can.
