The hard counter to tlt already exists in the form of tie interceptors, a-wings, starviper, aggressor, and soon the t-70 and TAP.
Low ps means anything with boost can stay behind and enjoy the protection of autothrusters while the y-wings struggle to do one damage a turn.
I don't understand wave 7 has been out a month and we need a nerf? Wasn't the slam nerf enough this week?
There was no SLAM nerf, we just established that the article was even more error-riddled than usual. SLAM works as the rules always said it did.
This is currently legal :
It states choose and execute a maneuver of the ships dial...so a bomb can currently be dropped before a SLAM. So until a FAQ says otherwise...I don't care about anything else saying different.
This doesn't say reveal anywhere, which is the trigger for bomb drops. Inertial Dampeners, Daredevil and Ion provide clear precedent that Execute Maneuver and Reveal Maneuver Dial are different things. To reveal a dial, you have to set it, and the only time maneuver dials are set is during the Planning Phase.
SLAM works as this card says: you can't pull a Genius because SLAM does not count as revealing a maneuver dial.
Edited by Blue Fiveif my opponent declares a slam action I want him to show me the manuever on his dial. Otherwise I might not know it is there and what color it is. Who has that level of trust in a tournament?

you do if you know the K's dial 
just remember not to let him measure out any possible maneuvers before he declares one
