It had impact on the squadron meta no doubt, but the individual squadrons as a whole have no effects. When something new comes out that is good for squadrons, it is good for all squadrons . You end up with a case where the good squadrons become better and the meh squadrons stay mediocre .

That being said, if a particular squadron sucks, it will suck throughout the life of the game (unless FFG introduces something that targets specific squadrons).

That's funny, before Fighter Coordination Teams and All Fighters Follow Me, I almost never saw any B-wings on the table, and most people I played with seemed to think they were pretty mediocre. Than after the Pelta came out there were B-wings everywhere...

stupid question time.... if you activate a sqn with a sqn command do you have to attack?

Or can you move into engagement with other sqns and go 'not shooting'?

I dont think you can, but a quick flick throught the rules and I didnt see anything that said I must attack it able to

Nope. Nothing that requires you to attack. Plenty of times people just activate squadrons and stay put rather than attacking Shara, for example.
