Gaining an extra attack die is a huge benefit. On a ship with a normal attack value of 3, you are guaranteed to always attack with four dice, no matter what range. Plus, at Range 3, not only are you attacking with 4 dice, but your opponent does not get to roll an extra green die. Put it on Krassis Trelix or someone flying alongside Captain Jonus, and you get re-rolls. Easily worth 7 squad points.
