Does this apply when it unloads anytime and anywhere, or only specifically at home islands?   As written it’s in effect at all times, which adds complexity to boarding and such.

I quite l…[Read more]

I feel the Cacafuego could come down a point or two in her cost, but she looks very usable and interesting otherwise. Acheron certainly seems impressive, though I think you’d be okay with her at 20 points instead of 21.
