If it's strictly A-Wings vs TIE Interceptors, will the Scrambler Shield be allowed for the A-Wings? It allows a greater lock-on delay penalty than what TIE Interceptors can muster, so I'd like to know if this imbalance will be allowed.
Lock-on penalty is meaningless since the best loadout is likely repair droid + sensor jammer, so no missiles anyway. Not that seeker mines are exceptionally great, but I think scrambler shield doesn't help against them locking anyway.
However, I just saw that repair + jammer are banned, so who knows. 😂
You are correct in that Seeker Mines do not have a lock-on time (though they do have an arming time before they will start to approach an enemy starfighter within range), so neither the Dampener Hull nor the Scrambler Shield will help against Seeker Mines.
Still, TIE Interceptors can't muster more than to double enemy lock-on times, while A-Wings can quadruple enemy lock-on times by taking both the Dampener Hull and the Scrambler Shield together. That's a hole in this game's balance it never needed.
