The Ion missiles are deceptive.

What you're really buying is the 3 dice attack at all ranges, front and back with 3 charges.

Ion control is a bonus, but not the point. Ion could definitely be a game-changer when it happens.

The Fanatical FOs are the workhorses.

Ignore them, and they'll tear you to shreds in the mid-game.

No EPTs on the SFs, but you could totally swap out the Ions for Homing and throw Trick Shot on those bad boys.

I like it. Simple. Dangerous. All I3 gives you the ability to move and shoot in the best possible order.

But I do wonder if dropping one of the FOs and upgrading one to Midnight with Swarm Tactics would be more beneficial. That would also allow you the points for the SF Gunners. But if you're looking for a good non-unique list, I think yours would do well.
