What do you think of scrapping Nyms turret to get Horton up to TLT?

@Admiral Deathrain 's Horton/Wedge/Airen list was the inspiration for my Nym/Wedge/Airen list (albeit mine changed some). Nym seemed like a natural evolution on from Horton.

I don't think you can dump Nym's turret. I found it far too valuable.

Ditto. I was about to run that when Nym appeared.

You can get Horton in instead of Wedge if you drop Rey and use Long Range Scanners for the double mods and use Cruise missiles instead of Harpoons. I like Horton with Vectored Thrusters too. Might be worth trying to compare with Wedge?

I suck at X-Wing, but what do you think of using Poe to counter other alpha strike lists (at some cost to your own)?

I'd much rather have Nym with a Harpoon to more reliably eliminate a thread than have Poe possibly limit a thread. Also, only high PS will use TL for the missiles, low PS will be using Deadeye and Black One won't help. :(

I have thought about swapping Wedge for Wes to strip tokens, though. This could help mitigate lower PS alphas, particularly if Airen and Nym manage to nuke one before Wes shoots.
