Since a spoiler revealed them to be one point Equipping a 7 Tie Fighter swarm shouldn't be too hard. Of course they come 2 per Tie Punisher Expansion pack so will you be picking up 4 of them just for those upgrades?

I think we'd need to know what that one point does first. If it's mainly to help Bombers and Defenders then it might not do much for TFs despite being usable on them.

I'm a dirty casual so I can proxy so still buying one for now.

Let's assume it makes 2-speed manoeuvres green. Are green 2-turns on TIE Fighters worth a point? On Backstabber, Mithel or Curse, maybe. On an Academy? Probably, not unless you somehow have an extra point to spend. And of course, if it makes banks green it's even less useful, and if it makes turns white it's completely useless.

Mauler + PTL + Ion Engine Booster could be good, if it would add green turns.

As well as Black Sq pilots + PTL + Ion engine ...

And one more: Night Beast!

But would this be a reason to buy 4 Punishers?

I'm sorry, but no.

I'll buy two at first.

one for me... though so tempting to get 2. SEe what happens with the meta then go ahead and splurge

Assuming they do anything at all for TIE fighters.

I will be buying 4 for 4 punisher/Interdictor's

The upgrade cards are the cheery on the top for me.

I think I'm in the wait and see mode. If this is truly is a great card for TIE Fighters and the only way to get it is to buy 4 Punishers (which wouldn't give me enough for anything other type of fighter since I like epic)... Most likely then, I wouldn't buy any Puinishers at all. I might proxy the card or just put my wallet away after the Raider if it ever comes out.

My rule is don't pick anything "just for the upgrades."

... but for the fun of picking it up.

Pick up a couple to try out the Punisher.

If the upgrades help fix the Defender I'll take that as a wee bonus.

I'll be getting two. Regardless of how good/bad the upgrade cards are.

I doubt it does anything useful fog interceptors or tie fighters or phantoms.

Tie advanced has better mods.

It obviously helps the punisher likely bomber and defender

So looking at those 3 I'll pick up 1 since I'll rarely want to run more than 2

My rule is don't pick anything "just for the upgrades."

My rule is any hole is a goal.

Yeah....I think I'm just going to proxy all the bonus cards out of the Tie Punisher. Maybe, if they are worth it, I'll get the blisters. I'm just not that excited about these ships, except for the upgrade cards. I already have 4 Tie Bombers, so why would I want more? I dunno...I think this wave just doesn't get me excited. Of course, I'll probably find those upgrades awesome and then need to either buy the cards online or the blisters. Dang it.

I'll be buying four because I'm a ***** for FFG. 4 with accuracy correctors.

I ordered 3! I already have 3 tie defenders, so 3 Punish fit perfectly.

Mauler + PTL + Ion Engine Booster could be good, if it would add green turns.

And one more: Night Beast!

I'm sorry, but no.

Nightbeast would be up there with Backstabber and Darkcurse as top-tier Tie pilots.

They have moderately improved durability, boost, and a system slot, and the named pilot FFG included in the card fan has a very nice ability. I don't think the Punisher is a replacement for the Bomber, but I think it'll be worth getting at least one or two.

I'll get 4 Interdictors because they are from my favorite child-hood game

Glue spare munition pods on the tie bomber, i remember that game well.

I love how we're speculating on how many we're buying, and we don't even know for sure what it does. I'll be buying one first, when I get around to it, then see where to go from there.

I'll be picking up four just for the punisher lol. I'm gonna cut one up to make some tie punishiest
