The Strangler Drone is the cheaper of the two feeder Destroyers, the other Vanguard version costing an extra 8 points to also give you the Marking ability that allows the Vanguard to paint enemy targets so target prioritization actually works.

If you don't care for target coordinating or plan on getting up in faces to deal damage anyways, or just want a cheaper assault escort, the Strangler Drone is your pal.

Keep in mind the Hook Tentacles are affected by relative ship weight, so hooking a larger craft like a cruiser, is going to fling your Strangler Destroyers at the Cruisers themselves, more than actually moving them towards you. Miscalculating this effect is a great way to hilariously kamikaze your Stranglers into enemy line ships, unless of course, you intend to do this to trap a ship in spore mines. This can actually be a useful tactic if you are about to lose the ship anyways, especially considering its cheap cost.
