| I'll ask next time I'm communicating with them. But you know if they do, I'll run them here at GameKnight.
On thought that is occuring to me: what if one faction proves to be too strong? I remember with DDM that CE factions tended to be stronger overall for like th first 3 sets before the designers started bulking up the other factions. With this set being only a one of a kind (that we know of) what will happen if the Imperials/dark side are way stronger than other factions? | |

| | I guess the question is about if there would be a Release Tournament! Because every WOTC game had DCI tournament Support! and this game is very very strategic so it gets the Tournament support. | |

 what if one faction proves to be too strong?Â
We so far have spoilers for about 30 ships (half the set) and a mathematical analysis of their factors says that they are all closely balenced against each other. Of course we havn't yet seen the compleate rules. And the game balence could be wrecked by just one of the other 30 ships being under-costed for it's stats. But the current evidence is that all the ships in the game have been correctly balenceed. Which puts it well ahead of any other cmg as far as game balence goes. | |
Don't worry about the current metagame. It doesn't matter if it's ugly, bad, or the best ever. In 2 years time, set rotation will ban everything. | |
