Jack lost to Seth in 1 turn. He did 80 at range 2. GL to Seth and everyone else in the tournament.

Yeah, GBS vs LDR seems like a particularly terrible matchup. It's one of those "The GBS just need to move forward at moderate speeds with weapons armed" situations. The LDR is gonna have to be super cagey and squirrelly, but eventually, the GBS is just going to paste it.

I would fight it like I was in the Orion. A range four volley on the shark's #1 and then out.

At range 4 he would have done 60 with his rolls. I would have done 40 with my rolls. He hit with all his disruptors and has an extra phaser-1. That is 20 more. If I fire at range 8 and turn off he gets a shot on my #5 and with his rolls I take 20 internals. I am small and have no way to diminish his shot. ESGS are useless when one is destroyed and he has 2 drone racks and 2 shuttle bays. Playing against somebody like Seth I don't think there is any formula that wins that game other than Seth missing and me not missing.

Yeah, that seems to be a lot of the dynamic in that fight. Like, if the GBS does something dumb, and somehow lets the faster LDR get an unanswered shot on a back shield (followed by a follow up HET return shot), the LDR could conceivably end up ahead? But yeah. Seems real rough.

Sure, if he is LUCKY he will hit with everything. The shark got no UIM however so he could just as well have missed with one of two Disruptors at range four.
If you maneuvered for the r:8/4 shot, your #2 facing hits #4 Seth would face a dilemma. If he fires everything, but you don't, you will turn in and overrun him. (He had only two drone racks iirc)
If he doesn't he risk lose much of his #1 shield for you to exploit later.
