Increasing your agility by 1 is already possible, but with limits attached. This is simply another way to do it, still with limits so it's not overpowered.

For example, Stealth Device increases your agility only until you take a hit. The much maligned R2-F2 increases your agility by 1, but gobbles up your action.

Lightweight Frame is a wonderful card. It increases your defense roll by 1 any time the attacker rolls more attack dice than you rolled in defense. That's in addition to limiting it to TIEs with agility 2 or less. This is a lot more limited than just "Agility +1", and deliberately so. If you're fighting a swarm of TIEs or Z-95s, your TIE/sf isn't going to get any use out of it except at range 1. But if you're fighting X-Wings, it will help you every time. It's also reasonably helpful for a TIE Punisher, if for some reason it's not taking one of the other modification options.

So in fact, this card is very efficiently worded for the effect it's intended to have.
