Strategy
By Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32[1]
Egregious: Conspicuous; especially: conspicuously bad. Flagrant And who says we can't learn anything from playing this game...
You know, I think the first thing you should learn when you're at "Star Destroyer Driver's Ed" is to watch out for those mile long wedges that are heading right at you. I mean, how can you not see them!?
Well, this card is almost like the Premier expansion's Collision, although more specialized and thus, harder to pull off. Really, it's very rare to see your opponent have more than 2 Capital ships in a system for very long, if at all. Only the less experienced, or the egregiously (hey! there's that word again!) desperate, will try to load up a system like that.
Fortunately, Capt. Han and the Falcon will usually cause the Dark Side to become desperate. Han has a nasty tendency to draw a crowd of ships where ever he's at. Also, hitting one of those capital ships with an early Rebel Barrier may cause the Dark Side to deploy more to the system. Lastly, you could try the "monkey see, monkey do" tactic by deploying a large fleet at a system and look for your opponent do do like-wise.
The main idea for this card is to isolate smaller, weaker ships from their more powerful parent ships. Let's say you have Capt. Han, Luke and Chewie on the Millennium Falcon facing Executor, 2 Victory Class Star Destroyers and Obsidian 7. Looks like the Light Side may want to cut it's losses and flee, right? Wrong. By playing this little number and drawing a 3 or less (remember you subtract 1 from the destiny draw), you've just caused a 3 Destroyer pile-up, suddenly leaving Obsidian 7 all by his lonesome. That's when you battle it and play Don't Get Cocky and Rug Hug, thus causing more than just an embarrassing situation for the Dark Side...
Combos:
Egregious Pilot Error + Collision = Stack 'em up at the system and pick 'em off before they can get away.
Rebel Barrier(s) + Egregious Pilot Error(s) = Annoy your opponent by never letting his fleet leave the Kessel System...
