Just goofing with some of the new ships and cards coming out, here's a list with 4 of the Sith baddies all rolled into 1! 2 PS 10s and PS 7 shuttle for kicks
Something Something Dark Side (100)
Kylo Ren (42) - Upsilon-class Shuttle
Adaptability (0), Collision Detector (0), Emperor Palpatine (8), Emperor Palpatine (8)
Darth Vader (29) - TIE Advanced
Adaptability (0), TIE/x1 (0), Sensor Jammer (4)
The Inquisitor (29) - TIE Adv. Prototype
Veteran Instincts (1), TIE/v1 (1), Autothrusters (2)
... Collision Detector just to take up space on the table?

He can ignore the crits rolled, even if he doesn't have Boost, Barrel Roll, or Cloak.
So if you take out the Darth Vader pilot, you can put Darth Vader in a Tie Shuttle (bomber) for like, 19pts and have pts leftover to make a real, 31pt Inquisitor, then still have upgrades for our Upsilon Shuttle. Not only that, but the Bomber has a bit of the Biggs effect in that it can punish you if you don't target it, so it can draw some agro.
....a sith LORD!?!?!?
God why aren't there any gifs of Sammie L delivering that line

****. That's a FANTASTIC zero point upgrade. Thanks for the clarification, I hadn't considered the two clauses as actually separate.
thats literally what collision detector is: its a good slot filler. Better than PS0 activation but usually sensors are the lynchpin for a nasty build so collision will largely go unused, except on said ships that dont have the points for a good sytem or the few like the upsilon that just...have it for some reason lol

Havent you heard? PTL is so 2015, this list is the new black. No stress for Slicers to deal face down damage cards, but still action-efficient with Adv titles and Vader ability

The Vader from the first list has no teeth, and the shuttle lacks decent upgrades.
In addition to that, if you're facing ships with lots of Black Slicer Tools, they're likely on low PS pilots against whom the VI on Inquisitor would have been blank anyway, so just pretend like you don't have PtL until those ships are dealt with and it's effectively the same. Against the two factions without super widespread access to Slicer Tools, PtL is much better.
Just my two cents.

Never again using palpatine on a unlucky debris roll.
