How's this, at first glance? Piling on the Force-users gives Palpy plenty of ammo for using his ability to supplement the TIEs' firepower, with Seyn getting her face-down cards in on scary targets.

I am not sure, I wouldn't take Seyn Marana there without a clear use of her direct damage. Maybe Del Meeko would be better? To try and increase the TIE's survivability. Or cutting seventh sister/fifth brother for one of the TIE's being Iden Versio or Howlrunner.

You gotta upgrade Patrol Leader to Oicunn - his ability is just fantastic and can help your deci live a lot longer if you can bump and take a reinforce with the Dauntless Title. He can set up shots for himself and the swarm too if he takes Intimidation and bumps. Every good miniswarm needs Howlrunner as suggested by xanatos too. With these things in mind, I submit:

Captain Oicunn (74)
Intimidation (3)
Fifth Brother (9)
Dauntless (4)

Ship total: 90 Half Points: 45 Threshold: 8

"Howlrunner" (40)
Crack Shot (1)

Ship total: 41 Half Points: 21 Threshold: 2

I've been toying with the same thing, except I've put Sloane on Oicunn instead of 5th Brother.

I tried sloane & death troopers on oicunn plus Howlrunner and 3 academy TIEs and it was pretty nice, but anyway, neither that list nor this one:

take into account that Vectivus333 (I think) wants to find a way to use multiple activations of palpatine from the decimator, so I think palp and at least another force user should be a must in this case.
