If I'm calculating right, "Leebo" with Determination has about a 42.6% chance of drawing a pilot card as one of his two choices (from a fresh deck), allowing him to avoid that crit entirely. That chance changes over time as you draw from the deck, however, and it only applies to crit damage, which isn't going to save him much because enemies can dish out a lot of normal damage. And it only takes effect once his shields are gone.

So that's a 10 HP ship which, for the last half of its HP, takes only about 60% of crit damage on average, but 100% of normal damage. Still feels kinda underwhelming, even for a 1 cost upgrade. For the frequency that you'll realistically get to use this (maybe once or twice a battle, at most?), you'd be better off with one of the discardable elites like Cool Hand or Lightning Reflexes.
