Should black sun have more stealth ground units?
Yes they have the corruption mechanic, but unless you tech up with Xizor (Hutt nor tyber had them but haven't tech'd up IG88) you're limited in your ability to to just stealth assault poorly defended worlds.

IMO I feel like they should some sort of of stealth unit every tech tree can use from the start, cost like 1400 and only effective against infantry and light vehicles, it'd also fit their criminal background as well.

Old post, but "Maybe." I noticed the same issue, but a lot of Black Sun roles go unfilled depending what leader you have. Only Xizor has stealth units or trade units, but he completely lacks heavy ships or a good "staying" fighter, (I don't respect the Magnetar).

The reason I say "maybe" is that I suspect the mission statement for the faction may be that the player be forced to either switch often, or make do with what their favorite leader gets. However, unless tech switching becomes quicker and cheaper, I would prefer Vigos each get slightly more options, with the possible compromise of, say, Droid stealth infantry being worse than Xizor ones.

Xizor should definitely have the best economy and stealth units I believe. Fits more for him. The Hutt line is just a mess IMO, droids feel ok but underwhelming, Zann is fun everything of his is expensive and most of the Mando ships also don't get shields and vastly reduces their power, especially against players.

I've noticed that Xizor is better to force down the Rebels (because he has stealth units) and Zann is better for fighting the Empire, but the major downside between switching between the two is how long it takes.

All in all though I feel like the Black Sun faction could definitely use some more polish and attention.
