Or is it pointless to run Vader without EU?

Its not pointless to run Vader without EU, but of cause he is less flexible. If I were to criticize your build. I would ask "Why not take Kylo Ren crew, when you are flying Vader?". I my opinion Kylo Ren is the best thing the imperial fleet has to offer. I would drop the Emperor and take Kylo Ren - its not just better, but also 5 points less. That way you can also get EU to Vader or something else. Could be something like this:

Starkiller Base Pilot — Upsilon-class Shuttle 30
Fire-Control System 2
Kylo Ren 3
Inspiring Recruit OR Intelligence Agent 1
Ship Total: 36
Darth Vader — TIE Advanced 29
Veteran Instincts 1
Cruise Missiles 3
Advanced Targeting Computer 1
Engine Upgrade 4
TIE/x1 0
Ship Total: 38
"Omega Leader" — TIE/fo Fighter 21
Juke 2
Comm Relay 3
Ship Total: 26
