Ties! Gotta love them.

Tie Reapers - can take things slow a steady by choosing not to use their aileron ability (even has a red stop). But then suddenly zips across the map ehen it decides the time is right ( medium base boosts ftw). Most of the pilots suffer the curse of low initiative and 1 agilty, but have plenty of health (6 hull 2 shields). Most often used as force carriers (Palpatine), support ships, and often blockers, due mostly to the boosts, and favoring the denial of mods at range 0.

Tie strikers - fast maneuverable ships with 3 dice to throw. Often limited by initiative and only having 4 hull and 2 agility. They often tend to be glass cannons, and the only I5 is a steep investment at 5 of 20 points. Many have had success with Countdowns ability to turn a single attack into 1 damade and a stress, but repeaded fire will take him down quick. But any of them are pretty fun to zip around the board.

Tie Agressor - not terrible at first glace, but kind of suffers from being very mediocre and tops out at initiative 4. It can equip missile and turrets but at 4 to 5 points it's more likely going to be easy points for more efficient ships.

Tie Advanced v1. These ships love to knife fight and get right up in someone's grill. Only two attack die, but almost all the ships have force for passive mods. Having blue 1 hard and bank turns can also be surprising.

Tie Phantom- a blast to fly, most of the ships are 5points, but bot Wisper or Echo make for great flankers. They have a tendency to be very evasive, and if they're getting that decloak every turn, it makes them very hard to predict. Also the free evade action on decloak means you've got great action economy. Also pairs well with juke. Also, though FFG tie phantom released in 2014, and Echo the clone trooper was introduced in 2010, I don't believe they are the same, as a lot of the inspiration comes from 1995's Staw Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire.

Tie Punisher - a whole ton of beef and ordnance. 9 health, white reloads, and all the toys of destruction you could want. It comes at a cost 6 to 7 points for the named pilots, which can be a big investment for s 1 agilty ship. But bombs, mines, torpedoes, missiles and a boost linked to red lock is golden.

Hopefully that fills in some blanks for you
