Lone Wolf, Afterburners, & Proton Rockets

Lone Wolf requires skill to use well and rewards interesting tactical gameplay. Also comes with a significant cost of making you more predictable if you over commit to enabling it. Not sure why it went up by 1 pt during the first point adjustment.

Its the coolest upgrade besides Afterburners and Proton Rockets ( which could be 1 pt cheaper as well ).

He clearly saw one of my old builds for Quickdraw that used all 3! Quick, burn the rest of the blueprints!

Lone Wolf showed up quite a bit pre-points change at the top end of the List Fortress data, but it just wasn't ever talked about. It has all but evaporated with the rise of 4-5 ship lists.

I just really don't like Lone Wolf; my ships need to be able to support each other and LW doesn't fit my particular style of convergent aces at all.

Prockets are awesome but I struggle to fit them onto Vader while leaving enough points for a bid.

AB is stapled to him (and to my pocket aces if I can afford it).
