Opinions welcome.

List number two, all the way.

Tips: ditch adv. SLAM on everyone, and use the points to upgrade to a better pilot, like vynder

Alternatively, downgrade Expertise to Push The Limit.

Using it does restrict you to green moves, but allows SLAM/Reload/Target Lock as a combination of actions, which can be very powerful when paired with OS-1.

Yesssssss PTL Rhos ftw.

That being said, double Scurggs can be sweet. I would use Bomblets on Nym and capitalize on Sol's lower PS for mine-laying. I would use Havoc on him to get Enhanced Scopes and R4-E1 to guarantee those sweet bomb-drops, even after reds. Nym can throw bomblets for convenience and help clean up:

Sol

Predator

TLT

Havoc

Enhanced Scopes

R4-E1

EM

Cluster Mines x 2

Nym

Predator

TLT

EM

Harpoons

Bomblets

Cad Bane
