Force Dash replaces attacks. So she can move 6 and then use Force Dash to move 6 more and make 2 attacks.

oops, misread the ability.

I doubt that Danni will end up in many squads. Against anything other than the Yuuzhan Vong, she usually won't be worth her cost, so unless you think lots of people will be playing Vong at a tournament, or just really hate the Vong, you'll probably spend the points on something else. Garm isn't that great- if he does improve with some more Reinforcements options, then Danni might be a problem.

One of the guys on SHNN had a good point in that the New Republic should be good against the Vong. They won the war, after all.

Conceptually, I really like the Neimoidians at Central Control Computer. But it seems somewhat like a death trap for the primary purpose of it's design. The fact that it destroys battle droids en masse if defeated is thematic, but an insane gamble, especially when the unit requires LOS to benefit those followers. I'm not sure I see that this is any better than BDO + Worm + some mice. I am guessing CE disruption seriously prevents droid swarms, and this is an answer to that issue, but there are plenty of other swarm counters that exist (an may be more prevalent... strafe/gallop?) that this doesn't address and will still fall hard to.

Can I ask if anyone knows the logic for savage characters being impacted by the CE too? Why the LOS requirment? They're sitting on remote computers in mission control. They should be able to see their allies on the little monitor without having to swivel and look over their shoulder from their office chair.

Also the fact that it has 160 HP makes for an interesting question for your opponent, do they go hard after the CCC and try to nerf your squad when it dies, or do they just ignore it and try to defeat the rest of the squad while the benefits are on. If you go after them, you likely take a whole round d worth of damage from the rest of the squad while trying to kill it likely to your main attacker, or you put up with more damage for a longer duration but probably more evenly spread out on your assets.

I just don't like hard faction counters, even thematic ones Gandalf. Rebels shouldn't have a "disrupt all Imperial Commander effects in play", or Old Republic a "Sith characters cannot gain force points and Mandalorians cannot gain Twin attack".

A cheap reinforcements-able piece that is an auto-win against pretty much every Vong squad is pretty overpowered/NPE for Vong players. She is still helpful in a situation where she doesn't take on Vong or just being Garm and you have a win button against any Vong players. Normal faction hate is like "+4 and +10 Against fringe characters" or Ysalmari against some of the more force-heavy factions. But super Stealth and Yammosk are the two pillars of the Vong. Take that away and their non-unique CEs and what's left? And if anything at all is left after that, does narrowing their competive options improve the game or just create a new problem to be solved? Anyways I didn't PT on this one so I can't say too much but I really don't like her and what she represents in the game and I'll leave it at that. Perhaps I am in the majority in my thoughts on multipe hard counters on a cheap piece.

As for the Control Computer it is... interesting. I still think it will go down pretty quick in the heavy damage meta of today but at least it's another option in their tool box to try to help diversify the Separatist competitive squad types. It's clunky but I like pieces that bring new things up instead of crushing vast swaths of things down.

But with a global disruption on rangeless shaper/scarification then those unique allies with the 8th Cortex are definitely going to be hampered offensively especially since the entire Vong faction is balanced around 10 base damage. Almost everything in the Vong faction needs a Yammosk. There is a reason no one ran anything but Nom Bombs in the WOTC era (and this piece also shuts down that squad type as well), the Yammosk fixed that to help the shapers and priests and now by destroying that with a cheap hard counter it's essentially ended the faction. Would anyone seriously run any Vong in a tournament knowing this piece exists? Is there as hard of a counter to any other one faction?

And why would you pay points for a Yammosk if it's not going to do anything anymore? The stealing a CE was the occasional extra icing but usually Commander effects are so specific these days that it's not helpful. So for the points of a Yammosk (which is an incredibly fragile literally huge target) you can bring equally fragile shapers/priests and have the same problem with all of them.

Blast bugs I get, but to so aggressively take out an entire factions identity with a cheap reinforcements piece is a bit much.

So let me start off by saying that this is one of the best pieces I have seen in a long time. Cost, Flavor, Game mechanics, all awesome. Now as far as her power level, it is good but there are ways around her. Mainline a squib give a Dovin Basal Keeper relay orders, back in business. Yes you lose 10 points of damage, but now everything else is back online. She only has 60 HP. So if anyone get to her she is toast. On an open map she is dangerous because she can stay in the back enough to disrupt, but if you have a lot of rooms on the map she has to get in the action, making her vulnerable. Remember the Yammosk ability is only affected if she can see them.
