I'm with @ObiWonka . Almost certainly the same sort of thing for the Tie-Interceptor that the Tie-FO and T-70 are for the Tie fighter and X-wing.

Add 1 shield, give it some sloops or T-rolls, give it a tech slot. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, especially if it's shown to be more capable/special in the movie.

Those were mostly just slightly spruced up repaints with extra letters/numbers tagged on to the end of the name, this looks just as much like an Advanced as it does an Interceptor and has some elements which belong to neither. The T-70 and the FO were like that because FFG had to rush them out for Force Friday with next to no knowledge about them other then "like the old one but better".

Could we see a unique Silencer title card and a non-unique Avenger title card, maybe?

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a ship-specific mod in the vein of Captured TIE and a title, or two titles.

I want to see them do something more interesting than just a straight up stat line and arc, and generic titles are how they do that, but I would also like to see a unique title for Kylo's ship. In particular, I'd like to see the ship have a bullseye arc and get +1 die to attacks in that arc.

But publishing two stacking titles in the same new ship seems weird to me.

Got a random thought, I would make one of the Silencer named pilots with the call sign "Avenger" - as the obvious homage to the similar Legends fighter, and give him an ability that lets him add a die (or hit result) for each destroyed or damaged damaged ally. That is an ability that would be interesting (to me) and very much in the vein of Imperial/First Order Swarm flying.

I can see that getting out of hand with Avenger + n Acadamy TIE lists that send their miniswarm all in while Avy is hanging back early game. And when have him mop up with 7 or 8 red dice later...

EDIT: I guess giving him something like 'you may reroll one attack dice for every dead ally' may be better cause it can't break that hard because it has a hard cap.

So we're to not dream for a power ship that skyrockets to the top Worlds table, but we should hope FFG keeps up their common wave issuance and give the Imps just another balanced ship without synergistic crew or abilities that make it uber-competitive, while the other two factions get a "absolutely useful, day one meta ship that wins top tournaments?

Can't the Imperial ranks at least dream man?

Ugggggggggggggg ☹️

I get your point, however I would like an Über-ability that would keep list building interesting and doesn't lead to a single viable list*

*(this + as many academys as possible)
