I could change out the Sigma Sqd Ace for Whisper and drop the 6 point upgrade for an even 200. Also, I don't have any experience flying or flying against Phantoms so tips for that would be appreciated as well.

Juke Whisper with Sloane and as many TIES as you can manage is fantastic

Pretty sure you can fit:

Whisper w/ Juke & Vader
Omicron w/ Sloane
3x Academy Pilots
8 pt bid

Or maybe upgrade one Academy to Markmanship Seyn, to really entice your opponent to shoot them down first. Or maybe slap 0-0-0 on the Lambda to add to the stress fun.

Edit: Not a swarm player, I don't think I've ever seriously considered a 5 ship list before during 1.0...

Edit: Change Omicron to Scarif Base, drop Vader, you can fit an additional Academy...
