Wow, what a major letdown after all the possible discussion there were about this card.

Seriously. First of all, to have an effect you will need to have this on a ship that fires before all of your others do, else you will not even notice the bonus, so this has to go on your highest pilot skill ship, which is usually an elite pilot. This could also make the elite pilot talent useless incase it is something that boosts your attack because your attack will deal no damage. So you pay more points to have a ship that can fire before others only to not deal damage.

And then comes the point that it's only viable if you field at least 3 other ships to compensate for actually losing an attack in teh first place. It is still more efficient to fire 3 times with 3 ATK vs. 3 DEF than with 2 times 3 ATK vs. 2 DEF.

Which brings this only to real efficiency when you use that on a ship that has only 2 ATK to begin with, boosting other ships with 3 ATK power later on, so you'd have to field this on an M3-A Interceptor, boosting at least 2 other scum people with 3 ATK+.

All things considered: wow, what a major letdown this is.
