Lorrir was always iffy, lacking that EPT, and the second Phantoms hit the table Lorrir was considerably worse. His unique ability was no longer unique, it was worse that what Phantoms already had. For his price, plus Autothrusters, with the Interceptor's utter dependence upon PTL, there is no reason (competitively) to take him. You don't add things like Fleet Officer and Autothrusters just to make sub-par ships usable, you use them on good ships to make them even better. Lorrir, Fel's Wrath, and Kanos are all in the "casual play only" category, along with many other ships.
