There's an easy way to test this theory, at least for folks who managed to unlock Raddus. Try taking it into a fleet battle and see if you can get the maneuver off. I suspect you won't be able to. Despite the foresight and protection recovery, a decent GR, Sep, or Rebel fleet will mow down the garbage resistance which is currently available. How do you expect to survive more than a couple rounds when they have the top ships in the game, and you can't kill anything?
