Does the Keldabe shield drain increase power by the amount drained, or is it straight "if a Keldabe drains, it's an increase in power"? Given how FoC screwed the Alliance (see a prior post for said rant), I'm inclined to go with the former (Alliance heavy units can boost shields, which the Keldabe then drains away), but I don't notice a difference either way (those things are overpowered either way...)

And aside from a Boba Fett assassination (which isn't THAT effective... Bossk can still be the pathfinder, and he might be slightly better than IG-88) or Piett (for the insta-death Proton Beam) being in the battle (both tactics limited to the Empire, as far as I can tell, the Alliance has no defense against this tactic), how do you beat the tactic of using IG-88 in the pathfinder slot, getting to the Space Station, then dropping 5 Keldabes, a Vengeance Frigate, Bossk, and Tyber Zhan's Merciless? That's my standard formation, and it's devastatingly effective. After bringing the units in, I don't have to do anything else, they just massacre the opposition.
