I have the feeling, but I might be wrong, that Deva just got downgraded to some kind of Sargent role, as opposed to the Officer previous role. For the Deva/Dikpala team I'd probably go for the repeater option that extends the Deva zone of control and allows for some backfield hacking too I think the Claire team is interesting, doctoring at 17 and unhackable Imm (ARM+BTS).
It might be just because of the new shiney stuff. Deva are still great and can even still make a core team all on their own. In a game with lots of a secret objectives they are fantastic. This team all counts as Dikpala. Giving the hackers Sixth Sense. Then everyone is +1 to BS and +1SD. AND the MSV2 gets a +3 to Discover! The Artalis could be a Doctor instead and brings back the Deva as they are in NWI. DEVA (Multispectral Visor L2) Spitfire, Nanopulser ( ) / Pistol, CC Weapon.

BS13 from REM Driver, +1 for 4-man team.
I am too convinced it's because of new shiny stuff, it was just a voice from the meta. Still I would put the Dikpala repeater to extend hacker bubble to 16"
A choice for sure. But it's very flexible. How about this for a defense? I didn't realize before you can take 2 Apsara! So the REM Driver is on Dikpala HMG and Sniper.

I’m not having good luck. Played again with OSS on the weekend and got it handed to me by Shavastii. Mainly due to Octavia and her damn Burst 3+1 HRL. Much of it was bad luck though. I lost count of his crits my opponent ad. I ARO’d with it and a Dasyu sniper, and I had a HMG TR bot modded both with Pilot X AND Marksmanship from a EVO bot! I had six dice shooting at her and she got 2 crits! Lost both of them in one order. She went on to kill several things. So far, I’m having hard time it seems with missiles and hrl. This time Octavia and last time Swisshit. I can’t say how good the Dasyu sniper is yet lol. Racerbots are fuggin nuts! Being able to put down all those para mines is crazy. I had an Aspsara Lt and Pilot X to do the Remdiver. X was on the TR bot and Apsara on the Dayleth. The Zayin just had some bad luck. Otherwise, I think it would have been good. The Dayleth got to use its WIP14 once to discover a Seed Soldier but that was it. After the Zayin was killed, I moved the marksmanship over to a Rudra who came to find out K1 doesn’t work against Naonscreens! So a mix of my being new to OSS and just bad luck.
