So the reasoning for the cap on aces is down to the fact that they have found that taking squadrons is an "All or nothing affair" and they want players to make harder choices in fleet building.

Not sure how the cap achieves this harder choice because to me it simply makes Squadron focused fleets just a nothing affair from now on because standard fighters generally do not have enough throughput in game to really be worth it.

I dont think the question to ask is if Aces are better than generics as I would suggest FFG outright introducing rules to limit Ace usage means they do consider them to be too much.

The question is whether squadron heavy fleets will still be any good with just 4 aces when going into the squadron light builds (the classic "I just brought Shara and Tycho to buy me time if you do have squadrons and not to be a tto great loss of points if you did not" style)?
I do wonder what will happen to the mid tear aces that usually only see table time because they are slightly better than their generic version and there is a couple of points to spare? Actually I dont, because the answer is they will not be seen any more.

Leia is going down in points but we are also moving into a system where some upgrades need tokens spent on them to be readied which means if a lot of key force multiplier upgrades switch to the new system then her ability to get a token effect may not eve be worth 28pts.

Done some tinkering.

Instead of hoping for a magical christmas land bomber line up I've went for a more conventional MC75 that is there just to drop and unload a lot of dice into a target after the MC80 has softened it up.

There is enough room to drop the 3 YT-2400s for a TRC90 which is less overall damage soak and figher control than the 2400s but is a lot more reliable at putting some hurt on an enemy ship.
