I'm really looking forward to giving this a try on Wednesday. My only uncertainty is wether to keep Outmaneuver or swap in Predator. I think Outmaneuver is the better choice, but Predator is so much more consistently useable.

Defender and mini-Swarm (99)

Mauler Mithel (17) - TIE Fighter

Adaptability (0)

"Scourge" (17) - TIE Fighter

Adaptability (0)

"Howlrunner" (20) - TIE Fighter

Juke (2)

Maarek Stele (45) - TIE Defender

Outmaneuver (3), Ion Cannon (3), TIE/D (0), Shield Upgrade (4)

Predator is absolutely better in almost every way. The Defender isn't a great arc dodger so you won't get much out of Outmaneuver. You'd be better off taking Crackshot as an EPT on those TIEs.

Any reason you're using Maarek? There's nothing about his ability that helps you at all here.
