TIE Bombers can be useful. Let's say this will be a 100 point game.

Consider the Lambda-class shuttle with Colonel Jendon. He can give away target locks. Put a Weapons Engineer in his shuttle and he can aquire two each turn, one for himself and one for a friend. The lambda class also has 5 shields and 5 hull. Fly it slightly ahead of the TIE Bombers.

Then have a pair of TIE Bombers, with a warhead or missile loudout of your choice. One of them can now be gifted a target lock and so get a Focus as well. If you didn't go all out on the TIE Bombers or Colonel Jendon, you might even have the budget to include another TIE of some kind.

Alternatively, take Jendon and only a single TIE Bomber, then fill the squadron up with, say; a pair of TIE Advanced, or some TIE Interceptors, or 3-4 TIE Fighters. With the TIE Advanced at least one should afford to carry a missile as well.

Even if the plan should fall appart, and your TIE Bomber or Bombers be shot down, the 10 damage needed to take out a Lambda class can make it a tough customner and it has 3 firepower itself.
