3 builds I'm thinking about

1

Darth Vader. Markmanship, shield upgrade

Bounty hunter

Academy pilot stealth device X2

2

Darth Vader. Swarm tactics, stealth device

Black squadron elusiveness X2

Obsidan squadron

Alpha squadron stealth device

3

Howlrunner. Stealth device, swarm tactics

Tur. Stealth device, veteran i stincts

Academy pilot X4

so what to think any good or total rubbish?

hey! All 3 squads r playable, i find it hard to make a swarm squad without Howlrunner so ur #3 squad is closest to what i prefer to play.

im looking at a Vader based squad that uses engine upgrade and daredevil on vader. with the ability to boost and execute a tight turn after firing he would be very dangerous and perhaps the most elusive ship in the game after a stealthed dark curse!

i really like Draw Their Fire on Black Squadron, they act as bodyguards for your better ships. You might consider this in Squad#2.

Turr is becomming a regular in every swarm deck, putting Vet Instincts on him is a gr8 move imo as his extra action will kick in before everyone else fires at him allowing him to boost or roll out of firing arcs.

In your Squad#1 Id drop the stealth devices on the academies and upgrade ur obsidian (13pts) to something worth up to 21pts, putting DRaw Their Fire on Black Squad instead of Elusiveness will give u a body guard for vader and and extra point as well. Id go for another name tie-fighter pilot like dark curse or mauler mithel or winged gundark. that extra pilot skill will help get off shots before other ships can return fire.

just my opinions based on what i like to play
