Thoughts on this list.

Am I leaving myself open to Grav spam and also lack of scoring units?

Only caveats are that the list must be bound

Dual flamers on crisis suits? Try dual PRs and maybe one 'Vre with MSS and C&CN to join them.

Far too many marker drones, IMHO. Maybe two squadrons, skipping the formation.

Ethereals are, tourney-wise, a very bad choice because Slay the Warlord is often a point ... an ethereal doubles that score. With no infantry to hang with, he is especially vulnerable in your list. Given how prevalent, and likely, that you will face Trip-tide lists, he'll get SMSed quite easily. An irid-armor suit is superior, with guns.

Riptides -
a. stims should be on the HBC 'Tide because of how many Gets Hot! dice you will roll, where as the Ion Accel often does not need to be Nova Charged to still be reasonably effective against most targets.
b. Velocity trackers - fliers are generally absent in my meta, so maybe a few points could be saved here unless you know that someone is gonna bring some

It is a list with a ton of fire power and a low model count, 'tides are fast and you have suits too. Have you actually shelled out for six riptide models?

I would invest in early warning override with your riptides. i would drop the formation take two units of 2x4 marker drones and drop some of the upgrades (if not all) on the crisis suits and invest in your riptides. If i decided to be a communist fish (and this is meant to be taken as a joke) i would use my suits as obsec units and thats it, i would invest in a crisis commander with the drone controller and stick him in a unit. for all riptides i would recommend a 3:1 ratio of heavy burst cannons to ion accelerators. they would all take stim and EWO. if you need to kill fliers then you have 12 heavy burst cannon shots, statistically 2 of them should hit and i believe they are str6 so they should be glancing on 4s, so you should be fine. you could also markerlight them
