Biggs can only be used once per game, in that you choose a single round in which his ability is active.

Sadly it is true. All of it. The shroud of the Biggs has fallen, begun the harpoon missile war has...

Though, it should be noted, based on statistical probabilities Biggs's can still have a very strong effect on the game - even if he only prevents attacks on other ships for 1 round of combat. To that end I still believe they should've walked back the "secondary weapons with target lock" can shoot around him as, now, I could come at you with harpoon/cruise missiles and just hold onto them until you choose to use his ability and then just shoot the ships I was going to shoot otherwise with my ordinance (thereby wasting your use of Biggs).

In light of the new ordnance, ships and other game effects I think the Biggs nerf May have been too harsh.

Agreed. Most people have taken to running high PS harpoon/cruise missile alpha strikers, who already don't care about Biggs's ability. In FSR2 (Jess, Cpt. Rex, Biggs, & Low) a good alpha strike list can kill Jess round 1 and get Cpt. Rex with splash damage... Low + Biggs alone vs a 100point list isn't going to win.
