Pretty cool kit. The animation for Holdo Manuever is great

Too much protection regeneration from deflector shield and capital ship will make Hound's Tooth super annoying again

The animation for the Holdo maneuver looks kind of time consuming... the five minutes is limiting and with a ship like this that has high protection regen, the time will be dwindling and this will drain it further. It may seem small, but it matters.

Well, considering there won't be any more capital ship attacks/turns on either side after this and no more reinforcements called on either side except the 1 bonus reinforcement, I'm sure that will more than negate the amount of time for the animation.

The final text of Holdo Maneuver has me curious. Kinda suggests we'll get to a point where Capital ships either have health and can be targeted or that we'll be able to start a match without one

Expect new ships. Potentially a crew-less one very soon.

I’ve got a lot of feelings about this ^^
First I’m super happy to see Holdo’s ship, and OMG it does have a suicide attack like I was hoping, and the animation is gorgeous woah i’m In love!!!!!!! ???

Second, i’m curious about this: « If no enemy Capital Ship is present at the start of battle, this ability can't be used. » Will there be battles that start without a capital ship?? ?

And last, I am super annoyed that non-resistance and non-FO ships are required for the Raddus and the Finalizer. You have no idea how much that angers me. I’ve been preparing for the Finalizer for years hoping it would arrive with TROS, I’m F2P so I decided to skip entirely all the KOTOR characters to focus on my First Order, knowing I would eventually catch up in Arena when a new Kylo would come out with TROS and I would be ready for him even as F2P. And now they’re saying we need KOTOR characters to unlock the new Resistance and FO content??? WTF. They’ve never asked for multi-era requirements before! How can I prepare in advance if they ask such random requirements?? That’s really not nice :(

Actually I just realized that the fleet starting without a capital ship will be in Grand Arena and TW, when we destroy the capital ship in the first battle, then attack the same fleet again.
