Train Thoughts: How do devs make the TIE’s Whisper, /BA, Silencer different enough in game to make us buy each of them?

I wouldn't want Kylo being crammed into the /sf. Also, such a title would need to be Kylo-specific, or otherwise block the gunner slot, otherwise you could get some horrible combos (hello Quickdraw & Special Forces Gunner!)

Having the title Kylo specific would make sense, what is you're issue with having Kylo as a /sf pilot?

One, it would feel like a bit of a downgrade for Kylo to go from a 3/3/4/2 with double repositioning to a 3/2/3/3 with a turret. The dial doesn't lend itself to the sort of high speed aggression that people would associate with him either.

Two, I would prefer the Whisperceptor to be it's own ship, with the Knights of Ren filling out pilot slots (they don't have to be Force-sensitive, just sadistic gits).

Three, given how different the Whisperceptor is, what would Kylo's card art be? Arguably, the Delta-7 artwork also has this issue, but that's limited to droid placement, not an entirely different wing structure.
