You aren't even flying Imperial Epic right until you deploy Dormitz at Ps12 and literally everything you can put a Hyperwave Comm Scanner after him at Range 5. HCS triggers ever time and a new ship is deployed giving multiple focuses and evades. Bonus points for putting assault missiles on /SFs.

Sorry- yes why does the TIE Advanced with AC do so well in Epic?

They have multiples advantages :

Cheap (21 or 23 pts)

Auto 2 damages against low agility ship (especially epic ship)

Survivability

If bump, don't worry about attack

@Harry the Noble I would also add they don't mind being stressed or losing tokens too much. In Epic some huge ships have the Jam action (add two stress to a ship) and there are multiple ways of removing tokens (Tarkin, Toryn Farr).
