I think I'll add that if your two dice ships are not performing consistantly in games then you are either not flying them well enough or you're spending too many points on them.
Two red dice ships in today's meta.
With no cheap EPT generic, I'm a bit hesitant to fly TAPs instead of crackshot Omega Squadrons.
Maybe the PS4 will have the EPT slot.
My gut says they won't, based on how FFG has distributed EPTs in the past. I think we're looking at an 18pt ship with no EPT.
And I'm cool with that: 18pts, PS4, autothruster capable.

Still hoping they'll make a modification to improve the chance to hit of 2-die fighters.
Modification: Your printed attack value is 3. Immediately before resolving damage, change one of your attack dice to <blank>.
Edited by period3That is amazingly horrible.

Lol, in trying to simplify what I had written earlier, I made it stupid. It should be:

That's quite a heated dispute I started. And I see there are voices both for and against those ships, so I guess it confirms that they aren't outright useless!
They seem to be more difficult but more rewarding with their roles as blockers and helpers, the point about top Worlds players using them is a good one, they would know what to fly and apparently are capable of utilizing them to win even against enemies that put those points into maximizing pure damage output. 
Reminds me of that one game when a friend of mine got his Falcon cornered into an asteroid by four bumper academy TIEs and there was Oicunn behind him, stunlocking him in that spot and ramming repeatedly for 4 turns. 
our lil Ties have plenty enough tech to make even bull like fat han a thing of the past
