I am looking to get back in the hobby after a brief absence and looking to bring back my suit heavy army list.

General strategy is to be very mobile to keep my distance from the enemy. The drones from the piranhas will be used to swarm and tie up enemies so my suits can maintain their distance with missile pod fire and claim objectives on my table side. The seeker missiles from the piranhas will be fired every other turn to take our priority targets. The Marker lights from the commander joining the marker drone squad will be used to guide these missiles and co-ordinate with the retaliation cadre will again take out priority targets, be it heavy vehicles, monstrous creatures with the FB or clumps of infantry with the flamer (although i mainly put the flamer on as an anti charge tool)

I am looking for any feedback. I do have some general comments and questions as well.
1.Are the fusion blades on the commander any good? I like the idea and mainly put them in as a I had the extra points to do so.
2. Currently I have the kroot in the list for some extra models on the field and objective capturing, but I do know my list is some what weak to air units. Would it be worth while taking them out and putting in a skyray instead?
3. Can the farsight riptides gain access to the earth caste pilot array? If so I may make room for it.
4. I can see that my list is a little lacking on anti MEQ, hoping that the volume of seeker missiles and volume of high strength weapons can make up for that in a 1500 pt game, but are there any suggestions on how I can put in some extra MEQ?
