I'm excited to see if these changes to Rhymer and Rieekan mean that no-squad fleets can coexist with the rest of the meta again.

Coming to the Forum, helps you inform that "Intention". Nothing else.

These are always such great answers. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and the patience. You have a particular talent for this. Thank you!

@Darth Sanguis What high road though? I'm always abrasive

Yes, but what about the Nerf to Mon Mothma?

Now that Rhymerballs are limited to black range, the Grand Old Dame is not nearly so powerful against said balls.

Will we see less of the tall Lady?

Are you kidding? She just got a huge buff vs black dice by no longer directly competing vs Rieekan. She still gets to reroll close range damage, so she actually looks much better as a 30 point commander.

Sort of. Her absolute power in that matchup didn't change, so much as other admirals got a part of the action.

What does "hurt" Mothma some is the BCC nerf. The defensive reroll was extremely valuable against fleets that were built to reroll 3 and 4 times, because you've invested a good quarter of your points into those rerolls that Mothma just obviates.

Her stock did go down some, but realistically, in practice, I think Mothma is still fine.
