I’d drop both your black squadron aces for 3 academy. That gives you enough points to put hate on Vader. That makes Vader tougher, gives you another ship, and some i1 blockers at 199 points.

The rule for TIE Fighters is: more than about three points of upgrades is a waste. They thrive on numbers, not individual power. Ditch all of the shield generators and you have enough points for another ship.

Also, the Blacks are doing you no good. Switch them to Academies so they can actually block effectively.

Try something like this instead: YASB

This is similar to @Kalranya but possibly a little more tricksy.

In my experience everyone hates on Maarek once they remember how nasty his crits are
