Oh very much so, but tbf, she was already 6th choice, so not much of a loss
I like Elusive Kad but without Terry, I'm not really feeling the HS blends. Fenn and generics seem to offer better squad options.
Extended is a slightly sadder picture, since an Outmanouvre/Fearless Skull is the same impact for less. Essentially paying points for style.

You could run Recoil in HS... There are currently no cards that work with his pilot ability..... 😂

Oh really? I thought it was for the two focus tokens.
This guy's mods just don't turn off.
Definitely not worth a full 7 but certainly more than just style...

A Fearless Skull can expect to get 1 or 2 extra damage out of that talent a game. Going by my own experience, Kad can expect similar from his focussed red moves, plus maybe an extra evade on defence. So you're paying 4pt for essentially the same impact. You can now fly in a more exciting, if a little more variance prone, way though.
Outmanoeuvre is harder to compare, and more marginal on the cost ofc, it's so dependent on everything else going on, but the averages are likely similar.
Don't get me wrong, I like Kad a lot and his ability is very useful, I'll definitely continue to use him, but he has definitely lost something compared to the generics with this change. Previously, they were much more side by side.
I don't think it's a particularly big deal but he was already too close to Old T in cost, now he's also too far from the others.

Totally agree; he has no reason to cost a full 7 over the Skull. His ability is definitely more than style though.
