What I tried to say, is that the TIE Reaper needs to be NOT just a Decimator Mk2. Because currently the Deci fills all possible roles I can think of for the Reaper.

Except for being able to be agile. It's a very similar design to the Striker. I think it would at least have the Boost action if it can keep up with them.

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. If we have a crew carrier that's more mobile, maybe has a bit less HP but is also cheaper than the Deci, then the Deci becomes almost completely useless.

Pretty much the only thing that's keeping the Deci on the table is RAC + Kylo crew. If Kylo get's a better carrying platform, then the Deci becomes about as useful as an U-Wing. :/

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the TIE Reaper here eventually. The more toy ships we overgrown manchildren have, the better. I'd just prefer it to be its own thing, not a better version of something we already have.

I grew into this game flying TIE Interceptors.

Besides, Order must prevail over terrorists! (and cool aestherics and classy accents)

Classy accents?

As a non-native English speaker, I can't help but find Imp officers' British accent more classy than the default USA the rebels tend to speak. But let's not derail this thread any further. X)
