ok, bought expansion pack.
Value = great new figures for conversion 😉
but what am i missing? How can the captain bring ubiquitous/any value vs points invested?
StormTrooper Captain
He gives you a turn of not panicking, or not being suppressed. If your trooper squad has too much suppression, and is out of range of your commander, tap the Captain card and you then can move within range 3 of your commander to avoid panicking. Or, if they're going to possibly be suppressed and limited to 1 action, tap the card and you get your 2 actions for that turn to capitalize on an important move you made the previous turn.
He also adds an extra die for your squad.
He's only 4pts, right?
More options are better than no options. None of the options are broken, but they can add some benefit in specific situations. Same with the guns.

Yeah, he's 4 points over a regular stormtrooper mini

They can totally still panic. His ability only prevents being Suppressed (losing the action).

Whoops! You're right, misremembered it
Can he also be used as the overall force commander?

I guess you could proxy him as a generic Imperial Officer from the Imperial Specialists expansion. Nothing in the pack itself lets you play him as a separate unit. If it did, it would include a unit card for it.
Also, there really isn't anything like "overall force commander." There's just units with the Commander rank, of which you need 1-2 in your army. Nohing on the Stormtrooper Captain says anything about changing the unit's rank, so it remains a Corps rank unit.
