Neat idea, I love the spacetug swarm. It'll let you fling lots of enemies and cause chaos, and/or reduce a foe's agility a lot so your attacks just dig into their health. Whether 3 is too much... playtesting will tell. Depends a lot on your local group's meta.

Yea if you homebrew-replace the HWK's primary weapon with a 2-dice primary weapon turret, that helps it a lot and you can just not equip a turret upgrade (btw that's kind of like a free Dorsal Turret, but better). Though I think HWKs are overall good support ships when a turret is equipped (they're just a bit delicate in today's tournament meta).

Overall I think your list is decent. Operations Specialist may or may not be helpful... it won't give you focuses for defense since you attack last, so it only gives focuses to your buddies to help their attacks. You could have the HWKs target lock and do their best with the 2 or 3 dice they're rolling (at the expense of defense). However, given the scum crew at your disposal, let's consider other options.

K4 Security Droid would allow your HWKs to turn their green maneuvers into locks for buddies, and they still get their action on top of that.

Outlaw Tech allows them to focus on red maneuvers. HWKs have an unfortunate number of red maneuvers, and this helps their versatility.

Tactician stresses a foe if they attack it in arc at range 2, granting you some more control to go with those wicked Spacetugs.

Recon Specialist isn't quite like Ops spec, but covers a similar role, possibly better for your low PS. Getting 2 focuses for 1 action gives you one for attack and one for defense, or two for defense if it comes to that.

Dengar is unique so only one HWK could do it, but on a 2-dice primary he's really good. Reroll 1 die, or 2 against named pilots (who are usually very common, though your local casual meta may change that).

And finally, Ops spec which may not be a bad choice. In fact, if one had Ops Spec and the other had Gunner, then when that ship did miss, it could grant itself a focus for its followup attack.

So there are some ideas. I hope that helps!
