Will vader be getting a nerf soon? He's half the price of Shiv and can do more.

No reason that he would.

While Vader costs less than Shriv, the opportunity cost is still larger for the empire. Cheapest ship Vader can be equipped on is a Raider (44 points) - cheapest Rebel is HH Torp (36 points). So Empire has to spend at least 47 points but the Rebels only have to spend 42 points for a similar (albeit weaker) ability. Additionally, the Empire also loses other uses of Vader - no Admiral Vader, no squad Vader, and no officer Vader. Due to this, I doubt Vader will be nerfed anytime soon.

On top of what Rayster said, Rebels have Raddus and Profundity. It’s far easier and cheaper to put Shiv where you want.
