I Love the Epsilon Squad pilot. Played my first games with them, break them out for every "fun" game I can.

However, in tourny play, everyone insists on using 15 point increments for crack blacks.

I see why, cracks gives you almost garenteed damage, but he blows his load pretty quickly...

Epsilon gives you a shield, a target lock action, hard greens and sloops.

So my question is, if I "Git good" could the superior actions/dial of the Epsilon comparable or even Daresay surpass the efficiency of the crack black?

No.

Sorry.

2 red dice just aren't useful enough. Epsilon has a place (blocker and spotter for Vessery) in some lists, but mostly it's just a waste of points because it's unlikely to do meaningful damage before exploding.
