Just FYI, you can use Vader with title.
I hate to be an a#£e but the way its worded no he can't.
I know, but i'm 95% sure it'll be stated that he can because the article specifically uses Vader as an example of being improved. We'll have to see, but not at all worried tbh.

No you cant...they are 21 each. The title reduces the cost of the system upgrade, NOT the ship.
The way that card is worded Vader can't have the X1 title.
They'll FAQ it, because they clearly mean for it to be taken with Vader. They even say so in the article. Although I suppose one could argue he comes with the title built in. After all his ship is already a Tie Advanced/x1
Vader - X1, Accuracy Corrector, PTL, Proton Rockets, Stealth Device.
Guaranteed 2 hits a turn, focus, evade, Barrel Roll every turn?
The way that card is worded Vader can't have the X1 title. He's flying and x1 already so he can't have it, it's "tie advanced only "
I hope this isn't the case. Vader would be nasty with the title, as he should be.
Vader + Lone Wolf + Title + Sensor Jam + Prokects = 34 points
Focus and evade every turn and try and kill him.
How bout super mobile Vader of death:
Vader + DD + Title + Avd. Sensors + EU + Prokects = 39
U-turn Vader. Adv. sensor boost, then Daredevil, then clear the **** stress with a green maneuver! Tycho I have you now!
So many possibilities!

Between now and production they just need to change it to " tie advanced and Darth Vader only "
Then no problem. I have faith that someone at FFG will spot it.

No need to change the card really.
They can via FAQ or Errata simply state that Vader can take the card, the X1 doesn't actually mean anything.
Or as I said above, rule that Darth Vader comes with the title built in since he's already a Tie Advanced X1
Yep, it's really a non-issue. it's trivial to fix any problem.
Like everything else with the Advanced, actually giving Vader a different ship on his pilot card was a silly Wave I problem that they should be able to iron out with errata. I think they picked up on that sort of thing quickly, and I would like to think that's why the YT-1300 pilots don't specify Millennium Falcon on the pilot cards; plus it tied in to the introduction of Titles.

From the article "Together, these upgrades greatly enhance the TIE Advanced’s existing strengths and give the Rebellion far more reason to fear such renowned Imperial pilots as Darth Vader and Maarek Stele."
Yes, Vader can use those upgrades.
How many titles do you think will come in the box. If you only get TIE x1 title and you want to fly three or four ships with this upgrade, it could possibly cost you $360, $90(likely price of the raider) x 4 cards.
One way or another Vader will be back!
Moving away from the downer I started ....... Yay looks awesome!
4 title it appears Hrathen, no worries there.
Vader + Predator, Engine Upgrade, Title, Adv. Targeting computer
Tempest Squadron + Title, Accuracy corrector
Tempest Squadron + Title, Accuracy corrector
Tempest Squadron + Title, Accuracy corrector
That looks fun as hell.
I love that Vader setup very much! All praise the Dark Lord!
4 titles and 4 ATC's
So can the ATS be used with missiles?
Does spending the target lock and flipping the missile card to make the attack count as during the attack, or are they conditions that need to be met before the attack can be made?
Obviously you can get around it with deadeye, and Prockets are unaffected - but ATS + cluster missiles would be very nasty if you can do it
So can the ATS be used with missiles?
No it says primary weapon on the card, so you can't use it with any secondary weapons.

So it does - I must have been getting myself overexcited
Only bad thing is that it is a $100 fix lol
Tempest squadron + proton rockets + adv. targeting computer + tie/x1 (25) x4
I think I did the math right but yes this ^
Lots of flaws probably but fun
One other cool thing, Commander Alozen can grab a free Target Lock on anyone he is close to. So with ATC he can always add a crit at R1 without losing an action, and he ALSO has an EPT and fires late enough in the round for shields to be stripped before he fires. He is pretty amazing...
For all you questioning whether or not Vader can take this upgrade, think about what it says on the dial he uses. Seriously, this isn't that hard.
Still, I like the options. The free sensors is one thing a lot of people bandied around. But the Advanced Targeting Computer is where the real fix is happening. Maarek is now very, very viable. Vader with Outmaneuver is going to be tossing some crits out onto the Falcon. And then, we have 4 new pilots coming. Alozen is pretty cool, with the free TL. Synergizes nicely with the new fix. I have a feeling that Accuracy Corrector is not the auto include any more that some would claim.
Forget Fat Han, I'm making myself a Fat Vader.

Since the title and the name of Vader's advance are not unique, there should be no problem with them overlapping (although one is Tie Advanced x1 and the other is Tie/x1)
I am absolutely in love with AC tie potential, just not against fat turreted ships which won't take enough damage at 2 dice per 21+ tie (though the tie does have an excellent defensive profile to soak a few rounds of fire). For them, we need marksman + new system Maarek ![]()
That or the calculator ept from the starviper. Since it's already got the AC, I wonder if there are more upgrades in there designed to buff imperial options (like thrusters for interceptors)

The way it's worded Adv Sensors means Vader only gets one action.
The triple 9:
Vader + Predator + Engine Upgrade + Advanced Targeting Computer
Soontir Fel + Push the Limit + Autothruster + Stealth Device
Turr Phennir + Veteran Instinct + Autothruster
