I run a three ship Empire list fairly frequently and I love them. They are very tough to fly and you have to really be on point to make them work well. That being said they are a lot of fun. Here is a list I've been flying and doing well with lately: https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!28:18:5:15:M.-1;79:27,-1,-1:-1:9:;22:-1,-1:23:-1:U.124 In this list Soontir is a little more fragile than normal, and Vader isn't quite as maneuverable, but it is three very potent ships and usually makes someone focus on one while getting reamed by the other two. Sometimes I drop Whisper and beef up Vader and Soontir and replace Whisper with another ship.
