Wondering how this list might fare. Seems kinda cheeky to have PTL and Engine Upgrade on Vader.
Vader: TIE/x1, PTL, Engine Upgrade, Accuracy Corrector
Soontir Fel: Royal Guard TIE, PTL, Stealth Device, Autothrusters
Tetran Cowall: Royal Guard TIE, Stealth Device, Autothrusters
Could shuffle PTL onto Cowall if that would be better than Vader having 3 actions.
Also, how is TIE/x1 a fair title? 4 free points?

Vader as a hard time shedding stress on his ship as is, PTL makes it worse. Really want PTL on Tetran or swap it for predator on Tetran to keep his dial open. The X1 title allows for an upgrade. To compensate for everything the ship is lacking due to overcosting and lack of a dial to compensate. The accuracy corrector is another thing to look at upgrading to the advanced targeting Computer tends to help Vader push damage through. Check your points and try to get it on if you can.
Yeah, I was looking again at the Advanced's dial and its somewhat lacking in green maneuvers.
I shuffled some things around. Trying to avoid proxying more than I have to.
Vader: x1, Engine Upgrade, Accuracy Corrector
Soontir: Royal Guard TIE, PTL, Stealth Device, Autothrusters
Tetran: Royal Guard TIE, PTL, Stealth Device, Autothrusters

If you have Adaptability putting it on Vader and making him a 10 never a bad option. I'd say if you have predator try it out on Tetran. Otherwise you limit his ability to use his pilot trait. At which point you may want to drop to a RGT put the ATC on Vader with the extra point and take a small bid.
Find the points to get Carnor over Tetran. He's just SO much better.
I think I would run it this way:
Darth Vader (TIE/x1, [any 0-point EPT], Advanced Targeting Computer, Engine Upgrade) (34)
Soontir Fel (Royal Guard TIE, Push the Limit, Autothrusters, Stealth Device) (35)
Turr Phennir (Royal Guard TIE, Veteran Instincts, Autothrusters, Stealth Device) (31) or The Inquisitor (TIE/v1, Push the Limit, Autothrusters) (31)
But I'm not sure if you have VI or ATC.
I do have VI, but not ATC.
How about this?
Vader: x1, Engine Upgrade, Accuracy Corrector
Soontir: Royal Guard TIE, PTL, Autothrusters, Stealth Device
Carnor Jax: VI, Royal Guard TIE, Autothrusters, Stealth Device
you don't need AC. replace it with juke to pair with carnor's ability. Also trade out engine upgrade for twin ion engine if you want to use ptl better
very similar to my list and have enjoyed playing it a lot
TIE Advanced: •Darth Vader (35)
Stealth Device (3)
TIE/x1 (0)
•Lone Wolf (2)
Advanced Targeting Computer (1)
TIE Interceptor: •Carnor Jax (34)
Autothrusters (2)
Stealth Device (3)
Royal Guard TIE (0)
Push the Limit (3)
TIE Adv. Prototype: •The Inquisitor (31)
Autothrusters (2)
TIE/v1 (1)
Push the Limit (3)
Total: 100/100
I'm assuming then you purchased the x1 title separately, as you otherwise would have ATC. I would look to see if you could buy or borrow that upgrade as well. It really is awesome on Vader.
I'm liking the Turr Phennir + Carnor + Vader route with this. But then I've never really liked the Inquisitor, so that is just personal preference coming through. You can get 1 point initiative bid or throw a 1 point EPT on Vader. Adrenaline Rush is nice for a surprise K turn+2 actions once per game. Or you can pack Determination as a hard counter to Kylo. Some other options too. Either way have fun.
