It's still a 7 points card, that will cost you one action to use. It's powerful but you're making a tactical choice of damaging one or multiple ships once and not taking reinforce, coordinate, target lock or recover, and possibly spending energy you'd have kept for buffing up your huge ship primary (if you're using it on a Tantive or Raider).

A transport or Gozanti with Jam+Automated Protocols+Slicer Tools can be very fun but setting up your guaranteed damage will leave you exposed for one turn which may not be such a good idea.

I agree it's a strong card, but it suffers from heavy cost and competitions with other, cheaper and more versatile cargo cards. Booster and Auxiliary Shield Generator are really really strong cards too for what they cost.
