Jonus, Roark and Swarm Tactics with huge ships

QUESTION ONLY ABOUT EPIC GAME:


I have several doubts that came while I was preparing a list for a 300 epic game.


It´s related to pilot abilities/EPT like swarm tactics, Roark Garnet´s ability, etc.


These kind of abilities allow you to give another ship higher skill, so they can fire much sooner, but me and other players think, like for example Biggs ability, maybe is limited aid small and big ships, not huge. For example, we think it could be overpowered a fully loaded Tantive IV firing with Skill 12 thanks to Roark Garnett.


Also the same with Captain Jonus ability. An Imperial Rider repeating 2 dices in each of his, maybe 5 attacks per turn without the need to use/spend target locks seems to be too powerful (in my opinion), so again I would like to know if Captain Jonus Ability is restricted to small and large based ships, not huge ones.


What do you think?

In the Epic Tournament Rules there is already a section, detailing which cards won't work with huge ships. The list of cards was originally longer, but some cards have since been removed, giving the huge ships a small buff. The existence of the list shows us that they're keeping an eye on the balance, and will hopefully add and remove cards to this list as they move along. No imperial-only cards are on this list, probably because there are no huge imperial ships yet, so if they feel Jonus shouldn't interact with the Raider, it will probably appear on the list once the Raider is out.

You can find the Epic Tournament Rules and other useful documents here: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/x-wing/

Biggs doesn't work with huge ships, no mention of the other cards as of yet.

Jonus and the Raider is fairly daft looking but good to the point of obvious inclusion. I hope they rule that that one doesn't work, a little TIE bomber flying alongside and providing the bulk of targeting telemetry is... eh.

I am looking that section but I can´t find those cards. Where are them exactly?

Thank you!!!
