I don’t know if crack shot is the right choice here because it is hard to trigger. You can drop crack shot to upgrade an Bs Ace into a named pilot... What do you think?
I think Crack Shot still probably make sense for low-offense TIE fighters. Probably. Hull Upgrade is kinda pricey, though. 7 points from that and 1 from the bid upgrades two Black Squadrons to 30-point named versions. Del Meeko and and Seyn Marana (with Marksmanship instead of Crack Shot) would probably be the best defensively, but Gideon Hask is also probably solid. Howlrunner is probably too good to pass up, otherwise going for all three of those plus Iden Versio would be a sweet little Inferno-Squad block, and all Init 4 for maximum flexibility in positioning.
There are a lot of really great 30 pt TIEs but all TIEs do well with Crack Shot. Crack Shot is probably the safer bet, but I think trading out a 30 pt TIE until you find one you really dig is the more fun option.

Thank you!
Dont you think that Soontir without Stealth device or hull upgrade is a bit to squishy?

I don't know. Part of what's nice about 2e Soontir is how cheap he is. 54 points for just Predator. Another 7-8 points for Hull or Stealth Device (I think it's probably too unreliable without Autothrusters and Palp) might be good, or maybe it won't amount to enough. It won't be too easy to stack focus and evade tokens, so maybe even an extra hit point won't matter. Soontir seems much more reliant on actually dodging arcs. Or maybe it will be important. For the time being, I'm loving the thought of keeping him as cheap as possible.
