As it is now its been nerfed except for protection up for 2 turns wich is better probably. as it migth just work against tie swarm from tarkin. but they have reduced TM gain from valor by 5% ontop of there beeing less ships its been nerfed quite a bit. even if im even on powerlevel and never give free tm to enemy through ftp ship. as it is now i wont get protection up anywhere near before he does his thing where he kills every single ship active. that is with equal capital ships. maybe at the point where my protection up is lowered enough by skillpoints, but ive got it at the level before IX gear upgrade on it. and before i would easily have it ready 2-3 turns before he would tie swarm, even thoug battle would end before that normally and the fact it doesnt really work well against it either way as ships take turns before tarkin and didnt have it up anyway. I dont see the logic in letting a already, very much agreed upon already best capital ship get even more advantages over mace capital that just pisses me of a bit. because if i cant win game before tarkin kills all my ships i will automatically loose because its just too overtuned as it is to kill of every ship u have in one ability. either they just do their tuning at max rank of everything.. only then i could see it actually having any effect vs tarkin, as i migth just have it on cooldown to reduce the effect of this 1 button win. tarkin migth not have been buffed, but mace was indirectly nerfed by lower amount of ships to procc valor and also directly nerf on valor tm gain. but tarkin oneshotting all ships that is just fine ofc.
