The more points you put into that delicate 3-hull TIE, the more you stand to lose to tragedy. Bombs, Autoblasters, Mistakes, and Plain Bad Luck can all chop out a fourth of your fleet. Nym covers half that list in his standard build (Autoblaster Turret + Accuracy Corrector + Bomblet + Genius). So that's something to think about when constructing a support TIE, or any ship really. A quarter of your fleet in one delicate TIE is a hard sell unless you construct and fly very carefully, and get a lot of bang for your buck before losing her.

That's not me saying don't do it, just be very judicious with every upgrade you give her. I'd go with VI instead of Squad Leader unless you have a very specific need for the PS boost. Probably eschew Kyle (avoid stressing your support TIE when possible), and consider Rey over Recon Specialist (cheaper, and helps even when stressed or bumped). Beware the trap of putting a self-damaging card like Feedback Array on an expensive 3 hull TIE; you need that hull for living. EMP might be a better choice even though it's more expensive, because it plays to Ahsoka's strengths instead of exacerbating her weaknesses.

Also know that the current meta is favoring high PS right now (think PS10 Nym, Expertise Dengar, Dancing Poe, etc), so you will be facing ships that meet or beat Ahsoka's PS even with VI.

To answer your question, Ahsoka's ability triggers only once at the start of combat, so you can only use one focus token to grant an action to a friendly ship. Keep in mind that she can use her ability on herself (any friendly ship, not another friendly ship), for example trading a focus token for a barrel roll to escape a firing arc. That's sometimes more useful than giving the action to an ally.

Last of all, know exactly what your other ships are in the fleet. This will have considerable bearing on how you build & fly Ahsoka, or whether she's even the right fit for that team.
