Here's a list that I need some constructive criticism on. Anything helps, here it is.

Valen Rudor, burry him with the scores of other mediocre-to-terrible mid-PS pilots. If you want TIE Adv. Proto, then save points with a generic or find the points to upgrade to Inquisitor. Using the Baron of the Empire would give you a 3 point Initiative bid, or you could spend those points on a missile.

Also, Intensity is good in 3 situations:

1- Ships that don’t spend their tokens. (Poe)

2- Ships that get an abundance of free tokens.

3- Ships that store tokens.

The TAP meets none of these. Choose a different EPT.

What do you suggest for a different ept? And also what upgrades should I replace to fit in the inquisitor, I would love to fly him

For a generic TAP, I would take Crack Shot or Juke. Maybe. A Score to Settle if you want to save points.

Inquisitor is pretty dependent on Push the Limit, so it would take 4 points to get him in your list with his favored EPT. You could do it by changing upgrades on Quickdraw and Ryad. Ryad does well with Juke, so there’s 1. That leaves 3 points to dig out of Quickdraw. Quickdraw can take VI to win the PS race. You lose some dice modification, but the tradeoff is a much better third ship.

For Valen, either PTL or Juke would be your best options. Focus normally, then TL into an Evade after being attacked. It'll allow you to get a TL on something that wasn't in range at your lower PS. I don't think Intensity is that bad on him (he gets free actions which you can use for free moves, or else free tokens), but I don't think he really leverages it that well. Valen is, let's face it, a 2-dice attack without the strong ability of an Omega Leader. He's never going to get much work done without a Missile.

To upgrade to the Inquisitor with PTL, that'd be 4 more points than Valen Rudor. The first obvious target to me is Expertise. Swapping it for A Score To Settle on Quickdraw is pretty reasonable. If you take a TL on the opening engage, you'll have something like double-mods, while also making the ship cheaper in MOV, and a bit more tempting of an early target.

Countess doesn't necessarily need PTL either. Sure, it's pretty solid, but you can drop Mk.II and take Juke, or maybe Intensity. Don't think of it as a source of tokens, but as an occasional free Barrel Roll on top of your every-turn Focus action.

If I was using those 3 pilots I'd drop expertise and intensity.

Put PTL on valen. With his ability and ship title you can get 4 "actions" a round potentially.

Add pattern analyzer on QD.

Leaves 1 point for his EPT, or take a 0 point EPT and have a 1 point initiative bid.
