How would you tweak this list to make these two really shine together?

First thing I would do is make it legal. Bomblet generator is unique. :lol:

Womp womp, good looks.

So, I totally love Nym/Emon! I think your Nym build is perfect.

However, for Emon, I really like to capitalize on his lowish PS with a bunch of mines, like so: Cad Bane, EM, Clusters, Conners, Slave I

Had fun with this one. Nym can drop a couple clusters at game start and really bottleneck opponents into crappy lanes for them. While he can fly through his own bombs and get cover from them. The lanes also make it easier for bombing with Emon, who also cannot hurt Nym. The Z is mostly ignored and offers some free extra shots.

I've been trying to make Emon work since I started playing, unsuccessfully. Alright, a legal take 2:

I'm putting a lot of eggs (bombs) into the Cad Bane basket. Valid or a myopic overinvestment?

Typo

I'd say its valid; sure, he's only once per round, but you're only dropping 2 per round anyway!

I have played this with some success, at least it is fun to fly!

Nym w/VI, Autoblaster, EM, Homing Missiles, Bomblet, Havoc, LRS, Adv Sens, Genius (48)

Emon w/Homing Missiles, Cad Bane, Thermal Detonators, Slave I, LRS, Cluster Mines, EM (52)

Probably would switch the Homers out for Harpoon now. Use the 2 pts for a Init Bid or Upgrade the Thermals to Proton Bombs

When it works, it is a thing of beauty. When it doesn't it is ugly.
