The K-Wing is vastly superior to the TIE Punisher. The turret slot, primary turret weapon, SLAM, and crew slot make it an extremely effective weapons platform that can be built out in numerous ways, and in practice it performs very well. The TIE Punisher, in contrast, is exceptionally good at being too expensive for what it can do. Usually all it does well is deliver free points to your opponent. :(

The fact that they came out in the same wave is cause for concern... like FFG didn't even take the time to compare and contrast, or play the ships against each other. The disparity in power is painful for those of us who really want to like the TIE Punisher... The K-Wing is a fun ship, but I'd love to see the Punisher be compensated some day... There have been a few upgrades that attempt to help it, like Unguided Rockets, Lightweight Frame , Minefield Mapper , and the upcoming Trajectory Simulator, but so far it's still a difficult ship to field.
