Pretty punchy and reasonably durable. Higher PS ships, particularly with repositioning moves may cause you problems. The other issue is that Predator will be granting 2 rerolls against those ships. Having said that, if you can live with the low PS, you have a 12 red dice and 20 hull behind decent agility and free Evade tokens (on the Defenders) so it should take a pounding and still dish out the hurt.

that is exactly how/why i built it just joust with high speed make a pass kill a ship and hope mine survive then K/Sloop rinse repeat so far most of the games were pretty well decided by round 4-5

anyone think i should try this out in a store tournament? or do you feel it isn't competitive enough?

Looks like a fun list. The obvious issue is everything that comes with Low PS. My biggest fear if I ran it would be first round alpha strikes. If your opponent brings ordnance like homing missiles and or heavy hitters and get it all focus fired at same target, good chance you could lose a gun before it fires. Depends on your approach and you could probably still put enough hurt for a trade in a lot of scenarios. Late game could be tough against an ace that can reposition. I think it is worth taking to a store tourney to see how well it does, I think your ability to guess your opponents moves and plan the best ranges for your ships will be the biggest factor.
