Ok so i Just started playing early this month, 2 sessions so far and has been observing the current meta and it seems that 3 aggressors + 1 OL seems to be a popular build with Imperial players.

So i thought i should tweak the list a bit by using 2 Sienar Specialist + 1 OL + 1 OA

Can this build actually work?

I guess you mixed Omega Ace and Omega Leader. The standard build for Omega Leader is Juke+Comm Relay. It acts like an infinite crackshot.

Oh yeah.. Omega Ace would take the Predator EPT then.

What? No, that's a terrible choice. Take something synergistic with his ability - the threat of "suddenly lots of crits" will make people try to kill him fast. It's a shame the aggressor can't take evades or you could threaten Swarm Leader (nothing draws hate like the threat of 5 guaranteed crits). I would default to slapping PtL on him so you can just take TL+Focus same turn for the range 1 nuke. Alternatively, give him Comm Relay anyways (if you have a second). The extra point doesn't do you much good on that list then though, you can either upgrade dials on the /FOs I guess or throw thread tracers on an aggressor (hey, free TLs isn't bad, but...).

I guess you could also slap Opportunist on Ace though, but there's nothing really synergistic with it since Omega Leader is your only higher PS and he actively prevents the target spending their tokens (otherwise you might be able to make them eat damage to prevent you from taking an extra free crit).

Edit: If you want to use Predator, put it on Zeta Leader instead imo.

I feel that opportunist might be good if i have a a swarm, seems redundant for this build imho. The PTL on Omega Ace sounds good. Maybe i should try with Zeta Ace on another game to see which one works better. Thanks!
