What you people's thoughts on this build to counter the Wave 5 turret meta and Fat Han? PS10 Rexler would shoot any phantom first, and Rexler's ability with HLC could spell bad news for Decimators. Soontir with Stealth is always a hard ship to take down too. I was debating on DC or Backstabber, but I think the extra die would help with a 3 ship build.

I think that the big problem with Rexlar is that if you take VI you aren't taking something like Predator to modify your dice. Without something modifying your attack rolls you are likely going to need to spend your focus to to get a hit through which means you won't have it to use his ability. Against all of the arc dodging turrets he will frequently be using his ability to barrel-roll to get his target back into his arc.
I really like Defenders but find them to be a bit too expensive with difficult pilot abilities to get the most out of. I think they'd be a little more user friendly if Vessery and Rexlar swapped abilities. Vessery's ability works better the higher his PS is in relation to the rest of your list and Rexlar's works better if his PS is lower.
