Oh if he wasnt unique every ship that has an astromech would use him unless theyre doing a regen strat.

eh...

r3-a2 is still top dog in the astro world, and m9g8 doesn't seem to do enough to unseat him there

honestly, him being unique probably won't change how often he shows up in lists due to expenses and need for synergy (tarn/thane maybe jess; having cracken around is also nice) to squeeze out maximum value

if just TLT re-rolls were enough to break out in celebration, people wouldn't have been running unhinged like it was the holy grail and utterly ignoring the stellar r4 aggromech on Thugs
