Point of clarity: I didn't design Twin Laser Turret. My first work was in Wave 9 of 1E, not Wave 7.
"I'll Show You The Dark Side" was 100% on me, but I'm not to blame for TLT.

Wedge with Snap Shot is quite good at scoring first hit
Kare Kun with Black 1 Burners and BB-8 is pretty fun to fly too
Snap is good
I've seen a slaver with Lando / Maul / Dengar do work too
Also, Lone Wolf is overrated.

Yeah, from the sounds of things, this is not a unique experience just for Alex.  Rough week for a lot of very great people that did a lot of stuff for us.
If for whatever godforsaken reason you're reading this, everyone who put up with our nonsense at FFG - you know who you are, we appreciate you more than you'll probably ever know.  Thanks for the good times.

so....... Not good?

you can't just post pictures of Chris like that.

It automatically flips after executing a sideslip.
Except it doesn't need to have a lock on the target at all, so consider 6 ships vs. trip imp aces:  If all ships have a lock then all imp aces can be double locked and the HMP gets two rerolls vs. any target.  Not that I mind too much in that example, but it's a strong ability.  Combined with the full front arc and sideslips, this thing seems to have a very high uptime.

It does if by Initiative 1/3/4 you are dead lol 

A 1 agility ship with no shields forgoing its reinforce to be fully offensive could get you killed/crit ruined before you get to use those aggressive tokens.

Personally speaking, I see myself using the Manoeuvre assist version way more than the targeting. Low Initiative ships taking locks doesn't usually end well, and a red roll turns off the calculate ability for the Targeting card. 

I much prefer the idea of having a better dial and a white roll into a red calc when needed.

You could maybe just throw the targeting card and synced lasers on the I1 and hope into the engagement phases that you can get a useable lock and then keep at least 1 ship in arc and not at range 1 lol But for me, sounds like too many hoops to be that good. 

Lyttan's probably the most intriguing to me simply because the bonus also applies to himself (herself?). Give them an Autoblaster and you're good to go.

You just described any ship with a lock action or near Howlrunner, both of which have been around since wave 1 of 1.0. If there's power creep here, I'm not seeing it.
These things won't get locks easily anyway with their low initiative. They'll be full of crits given they only roll one defense, have a medium base, and are missing shields.
Most ships have that. Some ships that have it are still trash (like the RZ-1) and some that don't are fantastic (like the scyk). It's all about pricing, and the devs can adjust that. "Overpowered" just means "Underpriced."
Naturally, NPE is a separate matter. We don't have to get into that here.

Because Zari can only go to 2 arcs and a Nantex can go to 3.

Also, re: Adv. Sens on low init things: The action restriction change from 1.0 to 2.0 doesn't mean much since low init things could only ever one action for most of 1.0  It would still be solid on low init stuff if it was only 6 points, but I'm not sure I want it to be because blocking is a neat mechanic.
Also, taking a B-wing with passive and the new cannon is a trap.  Don't do it.

so what your saying is that it doesn't matter because the bench is too deep, got it.

And now I got beaten to the punch, thanks @Mattman7306
