Might as well throw Genius on there too, on the offhand chance that you'll be able to get that kill in with a post-move bomblet... and even if you don't use it, your opponent has to honor that possibility.

That said, Nym isn't going to be all that scary at Pilot Skill 8. I'd recommend swapping PTL for VI, and use your saved 2 points into upgrading Miranda's Ion Bombs to the much more problematic Connor Net.

VI on Nym, and put the discardable dial bombs, EM, and Genius on him. Swap the Bomblet Generator onto Miranda. And drop the experimental Interface for Harpoons on Nym. Fit out the rest of the points as appropriate.

Agreed, VI/Genius w/ Adv. Sensor Bomblets Nym is still very strong! Just be careful you aren't loading up more bombs on Miranda than you can realistically use.
