Hyperactive Lean Rebel Beef

Been thinking about action economy on the AP5+Leia, Jake, Ten, Braylen:
Hyperactive Lean Rebel Beef:
AP-5 (32)
Leia Organa (6)
Ship total: 38 Half Points: 19 Threshold: 3
Jake Farrell (36)
Predator (2)
Ship total: 38 Half Points: 19 Threshold: 2
Ten Numb (48)
Marksmanship (1)
Autoblasters (2)
Ship total: 51 Half Points: 26 Threshold: 4
Braylen Stramm (51)
Marksmanship (1)
Autoblasters (2)
Ship total: 54 Half Points: 27 Threshold: 4
Total: 181
So, the round looks like this:
Init 1:
AP5 coordinates Jake. He takes an a action, say Focus, and let's Ten take Focus Action, which then links into his barrel roll. Ten gets stress token.
Init 4:
Ten has no regular action since he has stress token.
Braylen takes the Lock action.
Jake does one of his regular actions + make the red boost or barrel roll and let Braylen take Focus Action, which then links into his barrel roll.
Result:
B-wings end up with reposition (br) + Focus + stress token to fuel pilot abilities + TL on Ten.
Jake has his coordinated action + standard action + red boost.
All in all, seems like an awesome action economy to me....
I'm not finding a good use for the Red Coord that Squad Leader could give Jake: his round is the red coordinate (not sure what) and let's Braylen take Focus Action, which then links into his barrel roll. His regular action + red boost seems better... 10 pts saved there.
So what to do with the (19!) spare points?
Going more aggresive on the Bwings with HLC or Protorps seems like an overkill... I expect to use autoblasters+marksmanship to good effect. Maybe protorps on Jake?
What about defense? AP5 might benefit from stealth device? Or extra shields on AP5 and BWings? Maybe some regen droid on AP5? Elusive+Chopper?
Ideas and suggestions welcomed!

Ezra has been surprisingly feisty in my games, but that might be outlier more than gospel. Prockets are never bad, with all the stress might be hard to pull off but elusive on Jake could pay dividends as he's likely to be the first thing the opponent runs into and tries to kill. And yeah the B-wings it's a bit overkill with hlc or protorps, but really overkill is just what others would call 'insurance', and hlc might be good for those keen to play range games, and not knife fight the b-wings. Coincidently Elusive is also great for the B-wing named pilots as it helps the defense and gives them an excuse to pop a regular red maneuver, saving you uses of Leia for needs later. And while I am not a big fan of regen personally, on the Sheathipede it can't hurt, as it's your Leia carrier.

LUZ_TAK - just a little update, Jake can only "cooridante" Focus, and he does that only after B-roll or boost, and ONLY in 0-1 range :)
following Ur list :

AP-5 (32)
Leia Organa (6)
R2 Astromech (4)

Ship total: 42 Half Points: 21 Threshold: 3

Ten Numb (48)
Marksmanship (1)
Autoblasters (2)
Shield Upgrade (4)

Ship total: 55 Half Points: 28 Threshold: 5

Braylen Stramm (51)
Marksmanship (1)
Autoblasters (2)
Shield Upgrade (4)

Ship total: 58 Half Points: 29 Threshold: 5

Jake Farrell (36)
Outmaneuver (6)
Elusive (3)

Ship total: 45 Half Points: 23 Threshold: 2
Total: 200

this gives 2 extra shields for already beefy bees and regen for Leia carrier as KingmanHighborn suggested.

Or a bit changed list from Croste :

Ten Numb (48)
Marksmanship (1)
Autoblasters (2)

Ship total: 51 Half Points: 26 Threshold: 4

Braylen Stramm (51)
Marksmanship (1)
Autoblasters (2)

Ship total: 54 Half Points: 27 Threshold: 4

AP-5 (32)
Leia Organa (6)
R2 Astromech (4)

Ship total: 42 Half Points: 21 Threshold: 3

Cassian Andor (51)
Fire-Control System (2)
Pivot Wing (0)

Ship total: 53 Half Points: 27 Threshold: 4
Total: 200
Both Bwings utilize the Marksmanship-Autoblaster obvious combo, AP5 helps them with stressed actions, and Cassian removes the stress from Braylen. All that in creamy Leia sauce :)

I see... Will have to reconsider his role as coordinator...
