Just remove the “primary weapon” from the text and it would give R3 a niche role with snap shot. Still over priced, but a bit more useful.

there is very, very little that anyone could do that wouldn't make R3 less bad. Like even just totally blanking the card makes you less likely to gimp your own attack for a single evade token.

If it was a dual card like the OP posted and it only cost 1 point.

By direct buffs I mean actually hard errata to buff things. You're right about chimps, though - but buffing astromechs with another slot isn't easy, especially when IA already exists.

Heavy Scyk is technically a direct buff then, but was kind of lacklustre.

If they put out errata on Integrated astromech, allowing T-65s to also equip another moification it'd be great, but I'm not sure how it'll fit in with the other fixes coming out.

True, just the once then.

IA will get side-buffed in exactly that way for T65s with Saw's Renegades unless I miss my guess. Renegade Refit's most common guess is 'some amount of negative points, you may equip two different modification upgrades'

Great for the T65, somewhat lacklustre for the poor U Wing.
