Mangler cannon doesn't really add a lot to Brath's potential. Assuming that you can consistantly use his ability (fleet officer helps, in this regard) then the only times that the crit while attacking will do any good is when it is a crit that flips facedown after an effect (i.e. minor explosion, adding stress, or destroying secondary weapons). While that can be nice, with Brath you're going to generally be able to forgoe trying for the crit during the attack in favor of more damage. The vast majority of the time it will end up in the same place anyway, so paying points to not add more damage would be a hard sell for me.
