Card Errata

Overall, there were only a hand full of fixes that were applied to cards:

Avenger‘s effect now reads “While attacking, you may exhaust this card. If you do, the defender cannot spend exhausted defense tokens during this attack.“

Gallant Haven now reads “Before a friendly squadron at distance 1 suffers damage from an attack, reduce the total damage by 1, to a minimum of 1.”

Yavaris now reads “[Squadron Command]: Each squadron you activate can attack twice if it does not move during your activation.“

Relay Change:

“Relay X. (When a friendly ship resolves a [Squadron] command, if you are in range to be activated, up to X of the squadrons it activates can be at distance 1–3 of you.)”

Flotilla Limits

“A player’s fleet cannot contain more than two flotillas.”

And also Tournament Games now end when:

“At the end of a game round, all of one player’s ships that are not flotillas are destroyed.”

Both of those Flotilla changes are going to cause some waves in the Armada Meta for sure.
