I'm normally up to date, but work has had me out of commission for 3 months.

Harvey hit at Nationals, so I had to drop and haven't flown a ship since. I just got Guns for hire and the new waves for Christmas.

The silencer has me intrigued, but I'm lost on where we stand with the meta.

Anyone want to give me an update on what's working nowadays?

Thanks for anything, normally I wouldn't ask, i just haven't been able to play at all.

Alpha stike with Harpoons is pretty popular

Yes, alpha strikes are popular, as are aces in general. However, I generally find that these days, pretty much any ship can work with the right pilot and upgrades.
