So here is a difficult question...after Obi-Wan and Plo points are adjusted enough to lose the high ground what do you actually want from the Republic faction?

I'd like the generic Jedi 7Bs to be a little more viable, since they fly a lot like the first edition generic Sienar-Jaemus Analysts that were so much fun. The stress from Autothrusters makes generic Silencers fly completely differently.

Maybe for the delta-7b title to remove fine-tunes controls?

Jedi have such an incredibly high ceiling in large part because stressless double reposition both lets them design their approach perfectly and keep options wide open after they've seen where you're going.

This makes so much sense. Would be thematic to.

Unfortunately errata are non grata, and even as errata go this one would be a mess. Oh, well. Realistically Jedi with ftc are just really hard to price, especially at i5+ and/or 3 force.

So my real answer to your above question is probably just small bumps to mace, plo, and obi, small drops to the named torrents and see what happens through June.

Seventh Fleet Gunner

CLT

Synchronized Console

aka all the cool synergy stuff they have that isn't as good as force charges but is actually super fun

Also, Gonk droid in the cockpit of a Ywing blankly staring at mass destruction and mildly commenting “Gonk.”

Can confirm that Seventh Fleet Gunner is pretty fun on Broadside that Ioned an enemy ship in the previous turn for Luminara to line up her CLT for the 5 dice attack via 7th Fleet at range 1 plus CLT.

I predict Same/High/Higher Bid Trip Ace Regen Republic lists now featuring even more CLT.

clone trooper only lists, lists with clones and 1 jedi (ace squad squad gang gang), viable generic jedi's.

basically: less force, lower initiative

Like Sinker and a bunch of Gold Squadron troopers? That would be cool...

and maybe a 104th battalion pilot with it. Yeah, **** like that.

I’d like to see a list where battle meditation is somehow not complete trash. I think?

Meditation CLT Obi and 3 proton Y-wings fits currently. That could be pretty spooky with 2 of them getting locks at i5 after focusing.

Tried it, it's okay, think I would rather just take two arcs though

Battle meditation is only +1 coordinated ship, so you don’t get focus/lock for the third.

Synchronized console does the same thing, except it doesn't cost a force and is about a million points cheaper.

I think those can already happen, but competitively speaking, it doesn't seem like many of the Jedi are good options. Ahsoka should be one, but she's not.

From a gameplay perspective, I agree. From a fluff perspective, has there ever been a generic jedi? Jedi #3 in the credits?

I guess #3 has to go super-jank and run Plasmas and Ahsoka while dropping Obi down to, like Saesee Tiin or something. Or Plo/Mace without CLT. Yeah, alright, this is turning into "how to make a janky list better by just throwing force at it." mleh.

Attack of the Clones. They were all named after the movie released and most of the names are no longer Canon.

Obi wasting his action on Ywings instead of focusing. Ywings actually having to kturn, and no mods. It was a mess that did not feel good. Also Obi being tethered to the ywings instead of being able to flank. I was headed right for Wedge Luke and Blount and was like "WTF am I doing"

Agreed. I use it on ARCs

feels more like lists with 2-3 jedi and Ric are more popular, but worlds results with a jedi and some support looked neat. I'm scared of Ahsoka being good, she's hella punchy.

Image result for geonosis jedi

I mean, its star wars, so I'm sure every jedi in this fight has a name and backstory and a reason why they were carrying an ice cream maker.

Half of the backstories are just "I hate sand"
