Here's my list so far:
Mauler Mithel w Marksmanship - 20 points
Zeta Leader w Wired - 21 points
Youngster w Predator - 18 points
Backstabber - 16 points
Academy Pilot - 12 points
Academy Pilot - 12 points
Total - 99 points
I used to run Howlrunner, but I figured if i threw Predator on Youngster and ran all Ties then i could get that reroll without having to fly a tight formation. I'm just limited to Tie Fighters (And Tie/fo Fighters. Those count, right?) It's mostly about close-quarters dog-fighting and intense maneuvers. I am still new to this, thoughts so far?

Youngster only works with ACTION Header cards, Predator is a passive effect and hence is not applicable.

So, no this will not work.

Youngster doesn't work that way.

Other TIEs can only use the same EPT if it has the keyword ACTION in its text. For example: Expose.

Mmk, my bad XD

On that note, would the Punishing One be worth getting just to put Rage on Youngster? Is that worth it? And if I do that, should I trade the two Academy Pilots for Epsilion Leader, for the stress removal?

In my experience, so far rage swarm isn't really worth it no. If you do fly it though, yes you need epsilon leader.
