Don't think anyone wants to see this at casual game night. Still I can't deny wanting to fling some Pro-torps at i6 and smoking something before it even thinks about shooting.

wait...can you chain swarm tactics off of each other like that to make all 3 shoot at i6 even though the blade squadron vet is i3? Because that's intriguing....

Can you do this chain? Yes! Should you? Idk. It's three ultimately quite fragile ships, and torps are far from impossible to deal with. I wouldn't be super scared

This is the sort of list that seems like it belongs in a team tournament so that you can hunt good matchups. There are lists you can bully effectively and lists where you'll really struggle. Also, because your ordnance will usually be single modified, there will be times the torps fail to perform, and that will feel bad. Still, I'm sure it'll be fun, and the prospect of WTFPWNing something before it can twitch is appealing. If you're a dab hand at controlling range, go for it.

Ran something vaguely similar to this one casual night with Poe and Targeting Synchonizer. Yeah, it was unpleasant.

If you don't mind losing a touch of durability I found there were times I really wished I had Swarm Tactics in both my generics. As the game progressed there were rounds I could have easily chained I6 attacks but ST wasn't on the "middle" ship.
