It's rarely used because Determination normally is kinda terrible, even for only one point (I posted an analysis in that page's comments, if you're interested). Really it should cost 0, and probably would if it came out today. Its chance to take effect over the course of a battle is not impressive, and worse that costing you a point, it displaces other more useful Elites that would give you a lot more bang for your buck.

The exception, of course, is if you know your opponent will field a crit-heavy fleet, especially one that uses Kylo Ren. Or if you otherwise expect to take lots of face-up damage by other means (e.g. *maybe* useful on "Light Scyk" Interceptor?). Then Determination can pay off. But it's rare you'll know what you'll be facing during squad building (without cheating)... and Kylo Ren can always just target your buddy and let his team kill your Determination ship. It might act as a mild deterrent, but not necessarily as useful as some other elite, including a discardable one like Crack Shot.
