Bill,
I couldn't help looking at the rough drafts of the cards when they appeared on the Polish site, so unless it changed, I think I know what you're thinking people will complain about. I will be interested to hear your defense, but I'm not sure if it will be necessary. If it's what I'm thinking of, there has already been precedent set with at least 1 or 2 other similar characters.
Regardless of Carth's stats, I'm looking forward to seeing some Jaq/Carth/KC combos. Question is, what's the best support to round things out?

He steals the CE and makes any faction or name specific effect to yuuzhan vong. Including piolt. I'm not a Vong fan, so I could be mistaken, but the power as written specifies faction only (and I don't see anything to indicate otherwise in the errata thread on SWMGamers). So, yes, you COULD use a Pilot-only commander effect for the Vong, but since there are no Vong pilots, it wouldn't do much good. Am I wrong about the name thing? Does a "commando only" or "pilot only" CE now apply to ALL Vong via the yammosk? If so, the Vong are much more powerful than I thought!

My main defense is a balance to him overall and I chose that route because to get him to work the way I wanted, I used the precedent of a certain scoundrel :). The Yom can steal the CE, but it won't change "pilot". So any Vong/fringe pilots can get the CE, but odds are the squad doesn't have any. I thought about making a Vong pilot in this set, but it's hard to make since their ships themselves were living creatures :). The only thing that the Yom can change is a faction to Vong. So it must say, "Rebel, Sith, New Republic, etc." to allow the change. You cannot change things like "pilot, wookiee, trooper, droid, etc.".

Personally, I think that's a very valid--and long-standing!--precedent!

Dime: I suspect we're going to see a lot more commander effects like this in the future (narrow-targeted ones). One of the unspoken advantages of a Pilot-only commander effect? Useless to the Yammosk. Yeah I like the idea of the slimmer Commander Effects, thats one of the best parts of these sets, it makes some things well more playable on a micro scale without upsetting too much at all. billiv15 wrote:
And the cool part is, since evade is something a good chunk of pilots have built in, or can cheaply access (General Wedge, Wedge, Reeikan) evade doesn't mean a lot. It really helps those without it without helping some of the best (Dash already has it). Basically you are getting a small improvement in Evade, and a cool one in speed 8.
Yeah I think pieces who have evade like dash in your example are still well worth playing a a squad with because of that speed boost. But I'd personally opt to leave them out, just for a new variety in squad creation. Stuff not commonly seen and so on. Who designed this Klatooinian piece if you don't mind me asking? So far I have to say it's easily my favorite one in the set. Darthbane53 wrote:

Yeah but this CE doesn't grant pilot, just bonuses to people with it already. So it doesn't do any good for the YV, or am I crazy?

Bill designed it. The piece went through a few changes and I definitely like this version better than the earlier version.

I am very pleased with this set so far.....the first v-set didn't thrill me but this one seems to have fixed my issues with the first.....I guess you guys just needed to figure out exactly how to do things, and since you got it down pat on the second set I must say you're faster learners than myself
