I'd estimate Tetran Cowall a little better than that. I was able to use him effectively the other day to do something that most TIEs cannot do, chase Wedge (or any higher skill pilot). After the initial engagement Tetran and Wedge were directly facing each other. I chose a K-turn with Tetran and got myself behind Wedge; spending my Adrenaline Rush along the way and scored a solid hit as Wedge just flew forward 2 easy (he had R2D2 and was healing shields). I was right on his tail. Normally, all Wedge has to do in this situation is take a 1 easy and the TIE will overshoot him because the shortest straight maneuver they can do is a 2. So I chose a K-turn again the next round and upon reveal chose the 1 distance, bumped the back end of Wedge so I didn't turn around and stayed behind him as he flew 1 forward anticipating an overshoot and kept my range 1 attack; denied Wedge a target and lit his shields up like a Christmas tree. I'd say that is worth a bit.

I sure hope you didn't shoot Wedge in the same turn you bumped him.

Wedge would have moved after the bump, thus able to shoot him

I'm curious why people have such a low opinion of Cowall? I know his ability isn't super amazing and game changing but he's probably the most point efficient named interceptor to date.

Right now, if I was going to throw one Interceptor into a list and didn't want to be too spendy I would probably choose him. Still for one point more you get Turr and one point less you get the RGI. He's just a tough sell.

I think that is where his fault lies, being in between a Royal and Turr is a tough spot to be in. I would rather drop the point somewhere else than move turn down to Cowall. On that same note I would rather put that point somewhere else than bump my royal up to Cowall (ideally just keep initiative)

I've found I don't want initiative on my interceptors to take better advantage of positioning.
