You should probably watch this Team Covenant interview with the new team working on X-wing. They address a lot of player concerns that I see weekly on the forums, including:
Interceptors vs. Turreted ships, and turret ships in general
TIE Advanced
Power Creep
Blocking
As well as lots of other tidbits on the way things are going, including the design philosophy behind S&V. This is a must-watch for anyone who spends half as much time as I do trawling the forums.
I love seeing how excited these guys are. It's infectious.
Edit: They didn't ask any Y-wing questions about Scum and Villainy 
Please. I just need to see the pie chart from the In-flight Report to know that they are aware of X-wing's value.

Sure, I'm sure as a corporate entity FFG is very aware of how lucrative XWM has been, but they could have shrugged off a lot of the player concerns we see here a lot. What this interview makes abundantly clear is that the design team is not only very interested in keeping the game balanced and fun, but they are also taking our concerns as players into account.
They're listening, and they're taking us seriously, and frankly they would probably still sell plenty of ships if they didn't pay such close attention. But they are clearly making an effort to respond to community concerns, and that is worth a lot.
Yeah if they didn't care we'd have an attack wing like mess on our hands.
"Have faith Tie advanced fans"
thanks for sharing !

Two take aways: you're going to hate seeing Scum HWKs across the table and Interceptor fliers will be happy for an upgrade in the Star Viper pack.
I sat up when they were talking about the HWK, yeah. Sounds like they have token-stealing and/or other debuff abilities. Nice.
I'm very intrigued by the excitement levels those guys had for the HWK for scum.
Can you just explain your sig for a second?
This would seem to answer the question as to how to pronounce the Scyk ("seek" — about 29:50).
That's really well made interview right there! I love how they were dying to spoil us some things knowing full-well they shouldn't 
I'm very excited to see those Scum HWK's they were talking about and also this mysterious StarViper card - hope it's really good, cause that ship costs a lot of credits!
Also, "Would you ever think you would say >>Expose is a good combo<<?" LOL!
PS. Fans of TIE Advanced, just have faith!
FFG could benefit from doing stuff like this more often, or through their own official channels. In a single video interview they have demonstrated that they care, are excited about the game, pay attention to the forums/community, have future plans to help older ships like the TIE advanced, and gave an overview of the upcoming new content, their general design philosophies for new content, and some things to be excited about for the future of the game.
I was a little on the fence about picking up some of the new content but between this video and the more detailed wave 6 reveal I am 100% on board now

My biggest concern is that ffg is releasing too fast. Most of us don't have aces or the new big ships in hand and what seven more just got previewed?
I wana buy more Tie Advanced... Before it's peak Tie Advanced, and you can't find any lol

I think their sig just has ships they already own that can be used in the new faction.

I wonder what the card in the Star Viper pack they said would make TIE Advanced fans happy is?
based on art alone in guessing the card got interceptors is inertial dampners.Two take aways: you're going to hate seeing Scum HWKs across the table and Interceptor fliers will be happy for an upgrade in the Star Viper pack.
I think it is something else; dampeners dont hep that much vs turrets and there are a few cards we didn't get good looks at in that pack.
Thank you for posting this interview!
Scik is being pronounced "seek" by FFG, so we have that to go by...
Now that I have seen faces to go with names at FFG, have heard their thoughts and opinions, and have an idea of their gaming background from that interview, I understand more of what they have done and the direction they are taking XWing! I am rather excited about the future of XWing and look forward to what is coming!
Only able to watch half of it before work but they don't seem to think the falcon is destroying the game like is so heavily whined about here

It must be the other upgrade:
"AUTOTH---", presumably "autothrusters" or something like that.
They said that mod in the StarViper will be a fix for the interceptor. Glad to hear that.
That card is to make interceptor pilots happy.
Advanced will be a future release
I'm better something that decreased attack dice from turret attacks , within range 1
Too bad those guys didn't ask what licences they have for what ships to make. This way we can find out once and for all if we are to get any Prequel ships Episode I, II and III or if we will get Episode VII ships later as well.
