If I use Swarm tactics to elevate my PS 1 or 2 ship to something 3 or higher will predator allow my opponent to re-roll 1 or 2 dice on attack rolls? My thought is 1 because Swarm Tactics syas treat the chose ship as your pilot skill for the combat phase.

I'd say that Swarm Tactics would mean Pred only gets a 1 die reroll. Any time the game talks about changing the value of something, it's treated as if that is the value printed on the card for the duration of the effect. Be it the combat phase like with Swarm Tactics or the whole game like with Hull Upgrade.

Can confirm, this is correct.

Sweet just wanted to get a for sure answer to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thanks

Ya know, I feel I have a pretty good handle on the rules, but it's nice to see someone else who does agree with me.

It's also covered in the FAQ (page 8) under Altered Pilot Skill. The most recent change applies in this case.
