I've been running a pair of interceptors (one as Serissu) with an IG murderbot pretty well. You can stack a lot of defense in there... let the murderbot block shots with tactical jammers while the Tansarii Scyk uses bodyguard to give it an additional defense die... 4 defense dice with a re-roll on a large ship is pretty good, and 5-6 defence dice on the two Scyks hiding behind it (with Stealth Devices) makes them almost unhittable (especially when they're also getting rerolls). And Mangler Cannons can do some pretty good damage... enough to make the Scyks a very hard to remove threat.

Unfortunately, it's a dice game. No matter how low the odds are of rolling all blanks on 6 dice with a re-roll, it's going to happen. In fact, it happened at least once a round at the tournament I took it to. And with 3 total hitpoints, it usually only needs to happen once.
