I doubt Ryad will ever care about initiative. There's not that many PS5 ships put there.

Not many that people fly anymore anyways. I'd rather shoot first than have Nera fire torpedoes into me, or the off chance Biggs has me dead to rights... Certainly don't want to be in Fel's Wrath or Etahn's sites.... either way, Ryad is going to be slippery and un-predictable.

They'd still get to shoot, even if Ryad deals lethal damage. She really doesn't care about initiative.

Then again maybe you were joking, you did mention someone flying Fel's Wrath after all...
