Not very compatible but very fun when it works. Jake does his barrel roll, focus, red boost and gives a focus action to Esege which does a target lock action in its own turn. Garven Dreis and Shara Bey also take a target lock. In the engagement phase Garven uses a focus from Esege as if it is his own and once used gives it to shara bey. So everyone has dubble modded offensive dice except for jake. When Garven gets targeted by multiple attacks he can use the focus from esege and give it back to esege for and use on the next defence dice for an unlimited pool of focus. Shara bey has Saw crew for situations where she throws many focus results, so she can take 1 damage to do a lot of crits, however I am not really convinced and think I can spend the point better elsewhere. What do you think?

At very least, I'd drop Saw for Barrage Rockets on Esege. That'd give him a 3-dice attack, like Shara and Garven.

I want to hear how this list goes. This looks like so much fun.

Thanks for the advice, I will try that.

I played 2 casual games last night, winning both of them. First game was against a Boba, Talonbane cobra, N'dru suhlak list. This was the first time I played with this list and it was quite hard to get the synergy fully working. However, even when the focus shenaningans doesn't go of (because of a bump or something) the list still has enough firepower to do some serious damage and enough health to last long.

The second game was against 4 N-1 generics with proton torps and passive sensors. This time I was more used to how to fly the list and man it was so much fun. The first engagement was a hard one. Esege was at range 1 taking a TL. Jake did his barrel roll, focus, red boost giving Esege a focus action. Garven and Shara both took a TL at range 2. So everything worked as it should. And I destroyed one N-1 and removed all shields of another N-1. However in the returning fire, Garven got targeted by three proton torps. In the defence he used the focus of Esege and gave it back again. This worked for all three proton torps, you should have seen the face of the other player lol. However at the end of the round Garven was gone. This did not realy hurt the synergy that much because shara could still get the focus from Esege. End of the game all N-1 were destroyed and Jake and Esege were still at full health.
