Would like some opinions on this list...I feel that vader will hit very strongly. With missiles he is able to drop up to 6 hits from range 3 on the first turn, while having focus and 2 rerolls. Jonus also gives a good amount of rerolls to the shuttle. Opinions? Thanks!

I fail to see where the 6th hit come from. Advanced Targetting Computer only works with primary attack.

If what you want is rolling 6 dice, take a Proton Rocket, fire it at range one and use your TL on the attack instead of only 2 with Jonus.

Ah thanks, I didn't realize it was only on primary! I was just trying to figure out a way to get a super high alpha strike with vader, hopefully eliminating a threat first combat phase between him and the shuttle. What would you take instead of jonus?

Depends. What's the purpose of your team? Does it have to include Vader, a bomber and a shuttle?

I really want to include vader because I'm buying the tie advanced tonight Was thinking about buying a bomber with him. Currently I only have base set, imperial aces, phantom, tie expansion, and lambda. And vader is obviously super cool

Well, I don't really like the shuttle (the ship is good though, it's just personal taste) so I won't include it. But here is a team that would include both of your new aquisition:

Vader + Title/Advanced Computer + Predator + Engine Upgrade + Proton Rocket

Howlrunner

Scimitar Squadron + Flechette Torpedoes

Academy Pilot

Academy Pilot

Alternatively, if you don't care about including a Bomber, switch the Scimitar Squadron for a Alpha Pilot.
