Yup, which makes Major Stridan that much more amazing as a support craft... by supporting aces with the focus/lock they need to hit/dodge well and still barrel roll out of arc, he can pay off even more than the Emperor. Kylo is really good too, since he's often more dangerous to attack than a Rebel Captive, so he's a relatively hard support to take out early without losing a ship of your own.

As for cards that are hard to use, I recently won a fancy promo Swarm Tactics but I don't think I'll ever deploy it. If it affected the activation phase that would be amazing for two points, but attack order isn't quite as potent, at least in the fleets I've been building lately. Maybe if you can focus-fire something to death early, or apply I'll Show You The Dark Side with Kylo (Crew) during activation and then use your low-PS ATC buddy to crit the target's brains out with Blinded Pilot before they attack. Perhaps I could build a fleet around that... a support ship with Kylo Crew, a low-PS TIE Advanced, and Darth Vader with Swarm Tactics? Still feels like the elite slot might be underplayed though. Thoughts?
