The Twin Ion Engine upgrade opens up the Advanced dial to recover from stress.

Predator provides the opportunity to reroll some dice.

The main weakness is the round in which they first acquire the target lock - they are individually vulnerable to concentrated fire.

Any love for 3 TIE Advanced aces?

Vader + TIE/x1 + ATC + Stealth Device

Juno + TIE/x1 + ATC + Shield Upgrade

Maarek + TIE/x1 + ATC + Shield Upgrade + VI

33 points each, so your opponent has to choose.

That is called "Big Balls" with some minor changes. TIE MkII for Darth and Stele while Juno gets EU instead of shields and stealth. Maarek gets Calc, Juno gets VI and his Darthness gets Predator

Well, we'll need something to tide us over until the Punisher and TIE II comes out! Dropping the defensive upgrades for elite pilot talents sounds interesting. That name's going to need work, though!
