...but can you do it with 2 Rookie T-65's?

Threads like this always make me smile. If you go back about 18 months you'll find similar threads trying to fix the imbalance caused by far turrets. A year before that it was TIE-swarms.

Let Aces and jumpmasters have their moment in the sun. Come this time next year people will worrying over the new hotness- probably bombs and auto-damagers tearing up everything or some craziness like that.

Ya honestly after reading some comments, I think the best way to go about things like this is to buff the poor cards and leave the good cards as is. Every one seems to have totally different ideas on cards that are popular. Some think Palp should cost 20 points, others think he is fine. Some see Soontir as an unkillable hellion, others think 3 academies can take him out easy. Some know the secret to killing Dengaroo, others flip the table and run.

I may revisit this later today, and if I do, expect a lot of the "nerfs" to be extinguished and instead the focus be on bringing less used cards up to speed.

I would never play with that. I have a hard enough time keeping all the normal rules straight. It looks like a recipe for failure, people will be mixing up your stuff with real rules.

I think a lot of positive changes can be made to the game if all EPTs worth more than 0 points (minus pairs like Attani), all crew, and all droids were treated as unique upgrades. You can use them; you just can't spam them.
