Having flown a bunch of games with both gun and missile boats, I've discovered advanced slam is unnecessary. And Black One is overpowered and everywhere in my meta.

Kylo is an excellent wingman for gunboats as he can keep the enemy off them while they rerack.

The Rhos will slow roll till they fire the missiles and then run away to reload and come back and focus for their shots. With g-chips and the inherent mod of concussion missiles they have a very high chance of getting 4 hits each time.

That looks very fun! I haven't tried my Silencer yet, so I might try something similar!

Another thing you could try is Mangler/Flechette/LRS Nu boats. I've really been enjoying that particular boat (as you can see by the cost, I've been spamming four of them). The best part of that is that you can still Flechette for those times you need to SLAM, which allows them to be great blockers/control to help out Kylo. And if Kylo gets hit, the Mangler cannons show the Dark Side to whoever was foolish enough to hit Kylo.

I would consider dropping AO for Primed Thrusters.

I'm intrigued by your attempt to fly Alphas without a title. I also think it could work, though I personally would prefer to get XG-1 on them and a cheap cannon to provide something to do on a SLAM/Reload. However, given your need for points, I doubt that'll fly. Nonetheless, I would suggest switching to Harpoons or Clusters, as they are rather stronger missiles than concussions.
