Drop wired and weapons guidance to give Zeta Leader Predator if you have it.

I have tested it and I actually prefer it that way. It allows you to reroll in defense too, and that is one heck of a bonus.

It only helps against lower pilot skill though. You don't get stress until Zeta Leader attacks (at PS7), so any shots at you at PS8 or higher are made before wired kicks in. Given how common high PS is, I would think that's a significant downside...
