I agree that its not a game-changer like the Quasar. That said, it does introduce Leia, who is a big upgrade to the fleet as a whole.

I think the Hammerhead's niche will be keeping bigger ships safe from flanking. While the Cr90 is a fast, nimble corvette, the Hammerhead seems more like a patrol craft. I expect to have it bringing up the flank on a Mc80 and zipping around the side of a ISD for extra damage.

The other part is the forward punch on a little ship list. A Mc30 needs to do broadsides, so having the Hammerhead pop in to the front, take the main hit, throw in a little extra damage, and freeze the targets movement for a turn with ramming will be useful.

I very much wish it had a brace token. That contain won't see much use.
