Ok so crazy moment here: I'm going back on what I said and 180 changing my position:

I'd love love love for Phantoms to be unnerfed. They're my favorite ship. I rarely fly Whisper now.

However for game balance, the balance atm is much better. If you want more proof I can write some later (slow typing). The one big clue is that the meta has shifted away from PS9, which means Whisper is far too good once more. This would likely unbalance the meta back to PS9 being hihgly relevant. While I love love love aces, I feel like the current game meta is more fun than what I get flying even when I like: aces and Whisper.

We need to bring the tie swarm back to competitive level. When this, mid PS lists and some decent high PS lists all thrive, then we have a healthy game and we can revisit the Phantom nerf.

In other news, barring Sabine Whisper is quite good right now. (And Fenn Rau is beyond good. Perhaps too good with Attanni mindlink, which should be slight nerfed along with TLT)

Sabine, TLT, Attanni mindlink need nerfs.

Attanni mindlink - when you focus and pass focuses, you may only pass to ships within R1-3 of you. (only check assigning from originating ship).

TLT - at the end of your attack, spend a focus.

Maybe it'd work to have the decloak use barrel roll or move "1" at dial reveal.

A bit of the best of both worlds

In 100/6 I think the nerf is the best change made by FFG.

When playing Epic Scenarios sometimes we see "Pre-nerf Prototipes" on the table, avoiding Cloak upgrades. Never named pilots flying pre nerf with ACD.
