AKA Player On Board = ships you can run your player around in (YT1300, Decimator, Nova), not to be confused with multiplayer ships (Aggressor, Ywing etc)
The new stats have nowhere near made the MP ships viable.
Anything an MP ship can do (with a minimum crew of 4), 4 other fighters (even low level fighters) can do better.
In fact, with my kryat (fitted with components more suited to an MP ship), could likely outmatch a fully mannedMP, at anything.
The slight increase in shield power is nowhere near enough to compensate for the poor acceleration, turning rate, and huge profile. The reactors are still nothing compared to some of the super loot reactors (20k mass, with about 36k output). The engines are a joke. And considering an MP ship can hold 2 guns of 4k a piece. While a largefighter can hold 3 guns at 3k a piece.... You do the maths
Yes, droids can help... But since we can still use level 6 droids on every other ship, it doesnt give the MP ships an edge.

yeah, a tie interceptor player would make me much more concerned in DS then a decimator, the only thing i'd have to doagainst the decimator is give it a flyby to mess with the gunners a bit, then destroy it when the gunners try to regain their sense of direction
The interceptor is another story entirely
