Corellian conflict Fleet commanders

By Spazz1985, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

I understand that if the ship gets exploded then he escapes an escape pod and is able to be used in later games question is if you're Fleet commanders ship dies in battle do you still get his abilities for the rest of that game?

Nope. If your fleet commander is in an escape pod he is no longer commanding the battle and you get no benefit.

What if he rigged a sweet HAM radio in that pod ahead of time?

Rieekan has a tendency to do this, keeps him in range till the end of the turn.

Thanks that's what I thought
