Consider dropping your bodyguards down to normal crisis suits. Burst cannons are OK, but generally not great compared to other weapons for the price. Good for crowd control and keeping suits relatively cheap.

You probably don't need to bond your fire warriors. Marker drones are just OK, and giving your 'ui a lock is okay, but not great. You could drop these all for more dakka. Since you are going to be in the fish for a little bit(or maybe outside it?) the markerlights are wasted. You could run them on the ground though, and have the fish kite around....

SPeaking of the fish, grab D-pods to protect them. Smart missiles are worth taking if you can find the points. Point defense target relay is not required, but can work well depending on your opponent. Blacksun filters are worthless on the fish, drop em and try to shoe in another upgrade somewhere.

The pathfinders are a little bloated. You are likely to be using these for markerlights most of the game, so the pulse accel drone is generally wasted(pathfinders get targeted ASAP against anybody who knows how dangerous markerlights are). Ten will also mark a target half to death, consider splitting them into two. The grav drone is good if your expecting assault, but with supporting fire you should be ok, and honestly if anything gets that close your dead anyways.

Give your hammerhead submunition rounds to give the railgun options.

Again, thank you for the detailed feedback. I will post an adjusted list soon. Any other opinions out there?

If you take the subs you can choose which one to use. It adds the option, otherwise nobody would ever take them!
