Last Ship in This Squad?

The Raider is out. As such, I have been playing these two, and loving the havoc they can wreak together:

Darth Vader

++Predator

++TIE/x1

++Adv Targeting Computer

++Engine Upgrade

Soontir Fel

++Push the Limit

++Royal Guard TIE

++Stealth Device

++Autothrusters

Tested it alongside a shuttle, ATC Commander Alozen, and a pair of TIE Fighters. In each situation, win or lose, Vader and the Baron have done most or all of the work. I have 28 points left, what can I add that will make this squad awesome?

Change Vader to lone wolf and put a OGP with emperor. Don't even try to fly the shuttle near enemies just 0 then 1 then 0. Sets up Vader/Fel flanks a lot easier.

Proxied something like this a while back in this video:

Vader had Calculation to get the Initiative bid. Didn't play it particularly well, though...

Lacked firepower? I need to watch that video... Was thinking similar but a pair of fighters don't seem enough even with the Emperors hand in things.

Edit: ouch. Yeah, that wasn't good. How about Colzet with some upgrades?

Change Predator to LW and then grab Palpatine on a shuttle. I've loved running him with two aces.

Beat me to it. I love this list. I also run Jax+Zenrik Storm+Yor with Palpy and a SJ. 4/0 thus far.
