With 2 decent escort fighters and Dengar I would like to see Mauler in the list. Dropping Boba to a standard Firespray then change both escorts into Zertek and Mauler maybe. Or upgrade Gamma to Mauler. Both ways free up 3 points which could get you Vector or comms net or even Suppressor on a Gozanti

What if you were able to put a fireball in the same list as an Avenger Cymoon? I have been thinking about this for a few weeks now, that the speed increase from AFFM might be able to make up for the range lost from the Rhymer nerf- add vector for speed 5 firesprays

So much point investment for so little hull and no defense tokens.... Poor firesprays get eaten alive in the current squad meta, and lag behind B-wings in antiship so simply protecting them while they burn something doesn't work as well.
