I'll admit I'm not the biggest manaroo user. But I always appreciated what she could do. Reducing her range is find, but to make her ability a range 1? That's pretty crappy... you could have at least made her range 2 or 3, so she would have to get into the fight. Range one makes her as useless as Lando.
For the emperor, you could have reduced the cost in addition to the changes to made. He's not worth 8 points anymore. Another option was to again, make the emperors ability a range 1-3, once again to keep the ships in closer combat.
I feel like these changes were way too extreme. I'm very disappointed in FFG right now, especially when these changes came literally HOURS after I purchased my ticket for worlds.
I will adapt, and move forward, but my faith in this games stability is now shaken. I worry that you'll go too far when attempting balance everything, and then this game turns into star trek attack wing...
