Also worth noting, two thirds of your points are in that decimator. It'll be focus-fired out of the sky pretty quickly, so make sure you're maximizing its damage output to get the best work out of it.

And it may be worth tossing some of its upgrades and running slimmer, both to reduce its targeting priority and to free up some points for another escourt fighter. You could toss the crew and torpedoes out the airlock, for example, and free up 12 points. 14 if you swapped Stealth Device for Twin Ion Engines Mk.II.

That said, that's not enough for more than a TIE Fighter, so it may not be worth shedding the points. Instead focus on pouring out damage and thinning out your opponent's squad early, and flying so that enemies have to target you through obstacles, and aces have to collide with you and miss their shot.

It could even be worth swapping the Admiral for Oicunn, just to use the lower PS to force more ships to ram you and miss their shots, while you and your interceptor focus-fire ships out of oblivion one at a time. But that's drifting a ways off from your intended build; I just wanted to offer the option.
