Good point, don't want to focus on the wrong ship. Though it's worth more than the points you gain from killing Countdown. You also have to think about how many points the ship will cost you with the ships it kills on your side. The striker is very mobile and has 3 primary attack dice, so you may need to prioritize it over a more lumbering target like Yorr, for example, to keep it from killing off your team members before you can do the same to theirs. If you don't kill it, you may have to at least work on blocking it.

Proximity or Cluster Mines would be a funny way to take it down, especially since the ailerons would make it hard to avoid face-planting into them. It's too bad people so rarely play bombs. :(  Black Market Slicer Tools are more likely to be fielded, and the stress he takes is a nice vulnerability.  You can also disable his ability with Tactician or R3-A2 + Gunner  and similar abilities, and/or more quickly clog up Yorr.
