It's unintuitive... Phantoms often rely on Advanced Cloaking Device instead, and this card would rarely activate while cloaked.

But good point. If you're not planning on being cloaked all that often, it's maybe pretty viable? The big trick with Phantoms is they're so expensive and so delicate. 2 hull, 2 shields, 2 agility; adding a lightweight frame might not be enough to make the ship pay off. Here are some ideas across the scale:

“Whisper” [ Recon Specialist, Advanced Sensors , PTL , Lightweight Frame] (43)

Sigma Squadron Pilot [ Rebel Captive, FCS , Lightweight Frame] (32)

Sigma Squadron Pilot [  Lightweight Frame] (27) That cheapest option might make the most sense, since you have relatively little skin in the game (1/4th your squad) and you might get some good use out of those 4 attack dice before being killed. Though a PTL Whisper that focuses x2 and evades each turn, or a VI Whisper that focuses 2x each turn... maybe not so bad with lightweight frame, despite the excessive cost. Maybe drop it down to only a 3rd of your squad points, ala:  “Whisper” [  VI , Lightweight Frame] (35)   I can see a build like that comparing to some of the other TIE models by arc dodging and hitting hard, without totally giving up on defense.
