Reiken is a new commander card coming in wave 2. His ability is they ships don't get removed from the field when they are destroyed until the start of the next status phase.

Wow, that's going to be annoying. I assume it's just for the ship that he is on, he can't do this for other ships, I hope?

Mind you. It's still dead, so I would have thought that if it hasn't already activated then is won't be able to.

Need to check the card wording.

The wording says it can still activate even if destroyed. And it works on unique fighters too.

Agree completely with Killionaire. If you're using AFs and haven't slapped a Leia/Tantive on the table yet ...

Yes it's a no-brainer! Need a squadron command next turn? Need to accelerate? Repair? Here you go Leia bickers around and the AF2 does what she says.

I also find corvettes useful to get through shields and command tokens with Ion cannon Batteries. I mean run 1-2 of those and imps can stick tarkin where the sun don't shine. Repair token stacking? Nay!

And with Dodonna you can shoot with other ships and get crits in after the shields are down. For 45 points one of these is really a steal.

Same thing goes for cr90a with XX-9. Might seem like a bad idea but once you get through shields, Dodonna has a field day...

Run both together and it's a party!

What would be the point of the ability if that were the case?

I always thought it was fleet commander Fel's Wrath.

I have to say, I don't actually love running the Tantive IV with Leia. It's good, don't get me wrong, but I find that a smart opponent also realizes this and makes it a priority target. I've gotten more mileage out of running Leia with Jaina's Light so that I can try to hide her behind obstacles and/or move wherever I want with complete impunity so I still get mileage out of her ability and have an easier time keeping her from being obliterated.

Granted, both are good, and I think the core is that a CR90 with Leia is just a great choice on its own.

If it's still on the board it could still obstruct targets from a firing ship.

You may activate and move/fire with all your dead ships.

It's at the end of the turn, in the status phase when you ready cards and tokens, and set dials, when you remove all your dead ships.

Allows you to get one last hurrah with ships destroyed before activation, and opens up new and varied playstyles.

The question is, will he end up replacing Mon Mothma with corvette swarms? They are both 30 points.

Cool! Thanks for the update. That really has some NASTY potential then!

Titles are always a wise investment to me for the CR90, because those upgrades are great.

Leia and Antilles can both be solid upgrades, the Princess for sure.

I'm okay with the Overload Pulse, but I'm not in love with it.

To sum up, I've got no problem with investing in CR90 upgrades, seeing them as points well spent.

Yeah you aren't paying a 10pts up charge on Dondonna for that ability...
