if we consider that evade + juke ties are as effective (averaging out) as Juke + focus ships then why not take the 4 points of juke and turn them into predator or crack shot? sure predator is not likely to proc much on a ship you do not want to to use the action re-positioning but the few times it would work should push the math much further in the focus ties side of the equation while costing less points?
Just a thought.
Juke is going to be great against droids, as it will really drain calculate tokens from 2+ agility ships.

depends if they have easy ways to get multiple calculates then its worse against them. 2 calculates is way better against juke (and juke swarms) then a focus.

Only if they never roll a focus result on defense.

no its the same if they roll 1 focus result and much stronger if they roll 0 focus results. its only weaker against 2 or more focus results (against a juke ship). its most definitely stronger (by math) to have 2 calculates then 1 focus.
now we dont know if they will have a way to get multiples.

You said that it is worse against ships with two calculate, which is true, as long as they never roll evade/focus, at which point it is the same result, abilities not withstanding. That said, juke is weaker against ships with multiple tokens, period. I think it is a pretty safe bet that most droids will only get one calculate token per action barring some additional, hopefully expensive, upgrades.
Either way, I love Juke and the lose/lose decisions it forces onto my opponents.
