This is really just a post to see if anyone is still running these guys anymore? Or are they still able to contend with everything that is out there? What would they struggle against? Imp Aces? Harpoons? I remember a time when they were just about everywhere!

In case you're not familiar with the list...

I think about Thug Life when I'm feeling down, and it makes me feel better. It's, for one, incredibly boring to fly, so the Quad Aggressor list kinda trumps it there.

It's also incredibly weak to Alpha Strikes, Aces, current Jousters and some Fat Turrets (like LW Dash). In some testing, I was able to beat quad TLTs using only Guri as something like 38 points, and that was before the starviper buff.

Rookie players see a huge increase in skill when flying it, because it's just about the easiest, least interactive way to play - only behind meta lists in that regard. But experienced players simply can't coax more out of a list that only has small decisions to make.

The last time I faced it was casually with B-wings and T-65 X-wings, I believe, and I declared before the game began that I would lose without destroying a ship. Surprise, surprise I didn't kill a thing - and barely got into their hull. It exists solely to prey on older ships.
