It looks like it would make for a fun themed list, but I don't think it will be better than WH or our other competitive builds.

Olé it is out! Freboota Krew!

Edit: aargh you were faster

Looks like I called it with it being a Freeboota detachment!

It definitely feels like it has a bit of an identity crisis since it clearly wants to have a mix of both choppy and shooty in its strategems and enhancements, but it doesn't seem to do either very well. I can see this being a fluffy choice to do during Crusade, but as far as competitive stuff goes, I think the Loot objective mechanic is a bit limiting since you have to telegraph which objective is going to be the Loot and in some mission set ups it's going to be better than others in terms of which central objective you fight over and it really leaves your other units effectively without a detachment rule for most of the game if they have to engage with enemy units that aren't in range of that objective, which for some armies like marines with their repuslor executioners or eldar with fire prisms, basically means you don't get anything against them.

The main standouts for me is giving blast to all weapons for one unit, since that can rack up a lot of shots depending on if you're able to drop it on the right unit at the right time.

The sad part is that Flash Gitz are still better taken as part of the taktikal brigade with the Mek Kaptin over what this detachment provides, which feels like a really big missed opportunity.

So, number 3) it is

Honestly, outside of bioniks being a silly fun option for crusade enhancements, this is pretty much all garbage.

Nice call with the pirate theme though.

The timing of the stratagem and selecting looted objective kind of ruins that combo. In order for a to benefit from that combo, it has to already be on that objective at the beginning of your turn and you usually block yourself from using the rerolls to wound stratagem.
