my Rebel aces list is 1-3 so far, so we're ditching the new toys for tried and true hardware.
Royal gaurd squint x2, PTL, royal gaurd title, targeting computer, hull upgrade
Mauler mitheel, engine upgrade
Night beast, engine upgrade
3 of the 4 ships will be getting multiple actions per turn, and mauler should be able to boost in close for big attacks.
Keyan is good and all, but he keeps getting circled before he can fire.
Usually I love Targeting Computer on Soontir Fel, because of the crazy actions he gets from it. If you could bump an RGI to him, that'd be awesome. That said, I'm not sure it's possible to squeeze those points in.
If I were flying it, I'd drop the engine upgrades on the TIE/LNs. They're too fragile to invest heavily in, especially if you get caught head-on at range 1. TIE's get OHKO'd all the time, and then you're out those extra four points.
So, maybe drop the engines, bump a RGI up to Fel with PtL and TC. Hull upgrade works wonders on these squishy guys. I think this leaves you 1 extra point leftover? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Keyan should be one of the easiest ships to turn around, since he loves pulling red maneuvers, especially with Advanced Sensors.
Try Veteran Instincts + Advanced Sensors. Use Advanced Sensors to Target Lock or Barrel Roll before you reveal your dial, then reveal a red maneuver. As long as you can shoot at something, it will get rid of your stress. Ideally you can shoot at the ship that you just got a target lock on. Because you have Advanced Sensors, you don't care if you bump, as long as you have a shot on something. You actually want to intentionally bump sometimes so that one less ship can shoot at you.

I've been running him with PTL for gauranteed stress whenever I want it. Either set up I'm handicapped by the dial, forcing myself to only do red moves or green moves.
I have considered the E2 upgrade and nien numb crew though. Turn all those straight shots into greens. Especially that 4 speed.
