I’m hard pressed to think of any decent gold runners for the mercs.
Devil Ray and Matuku are both better as pure gold runners, and cost less. If I used the Moonscape I’d want a captain on her almost every time.
Indeed, the Rod could easily be modified to a regular 5-6 SAT if it’s too good.
Krahta is interesting. If you were playing against it, it would be hilarious to try and “herd” it with a bunch of ships to keep it confined somewhat and get a bunch of free UT’s to break the game. XD It sounds amusing, but not something that would work well in more serious games. (as with anything that brings outside stuff into the game)
Love the Fallen Angel, which I immediately recognized as similar to the Heartless Angel/Fallen One move from Final Fantasy (I realize that wasn’t the inspiration). She reminds me a bit of some of my Cursed 4 masters.
