In which I start off my 2.0 journey by flying like an idiot and getting extremely salty, then slowly improving and cheering up as I figure out how to fly my list properly.

How did you feel the interceptors performed? Are they maneuverable enough to make up for the lack of focus/evading?

judging by how often they died and he said his dice failed, i would say no.

They're quintessential glass cannons. When they work, they work . When they fail, they fail hard . I think my issue in this list is that Fel and Phennir are the easy targets, as chasing as focused/evading Defender down is more difficult. The change to Autothrusters has helped the repositioning, but getting stressed doing it limits the following turn and makes them predictable - if predictability hurts a seven-health Defender, you can imagine what it does to a three-health Interceptor!
I feel like Interceptors now need to be fielded either a) cheap and cheerful as part of a swarm, or b) Fel tooled up with Lone Wolf and Stealth Device and running up one flank while two juicier targets distract your opponent on the other.
