Looking to use this in a tournie. Will it work?
Omnicron Group pilot
Engine upgrade
Vader
28
Scimitar squad pilot
Cluster missiles
Concussion missile
24 points
Scimitar squad
Cluster missiles
Concussion missiles
24
Jonus
Seismic charges
24
Total. 100
it looks ok actually. im not 100% sure about the engine upgrade on omicron, those 4 pts could be better spent upgrading ur ships to PS4. Another consideration would be to put squad leader on Jonus - this will help get target lock combined with focus attacks with ur missiles.
i havent seen a lambda+bomber squad do well in a tournament but thats not to say this one wont work for u 
I want put squad leader on Jonus so I think i will swap out the charges for that.
as for the engine upgrade it has to go on the shuttle. I was reading someone's article on the forum and it showed me how important engine upgrade is on the shuttle craft.

That would be me.
The problem with Vader is that he blows up the ship he's on. The Shuttle+Vader combo means you shouldn't count on your Lambda surviving more than 5 rounds. If that's the case, you want to move super slow and just keep any enemy in arc until you explode. As such, Engine Upgrade, in this one case only, doesn't enhance the shuttle.
If you want a more maneuverable threat to fit into this list, try this:
Omicron Group Pilot + Advanced Sensors + Engine Upgrade
You lose the heavy hitting nature of the FCS + Gunner Combo I usually suggest and you lose the guaranteed crit of Vader, but it's a fast, agile shuttle (for a shuttle). Advanced Sensors also allows you to take an action before bumping an enemy, allowing you to target lock or focus even when you bump. Quite handy. And it fits perfectly into this list. Something to consider.

yeah thanks SabgleG - i should have explained WHY engine upgrade doesnt belong on the Doomshuttle - its 4 extra points that will die - the vader crew on a shuttle is best used as a sacrificial lambda if it does damage and dies, its done its job
