The single-faction choice is probably due to cost. This game empties the wallet fast. :(  When friends get together and split up their factions, or when someone picks one faction and sticks with it, they can afford to play more easily.

But yea, TLT Nym or even Kavil is a pretty good way to wear foes down. Nym in particular is really mean, combining bombs with long-range turret shots. Or a common Syndicate Thug with TLT + Unhinged Astromech is only 25 points, which fits nicely into the fleet as a harasser. Again, TLT isn't a nova weapon -- you're not going to push 4+ damage through in a round like you would with a harpoon. Instead you'll make it very hard for your foe to not be chipped down at 1 to 2 damage per round, despite strong defenses. Combined with your other ships' attacks, this tends to wear enemies down that would otherwise escape unharmed.

I imagine a reason you're not feeling you have much success with TLT is your opponents' fleet construction. What ships do your opponents usually fly?
