R5 Astromech has been spoiled; It has 2 charge counters, and can spend a charge counter and gain a weapons disabled token as an action to repair a critical hit or a regular damage card (So flip a Faceup card facedown, or discard a facedown). The hull-based counterpart to R2 Astromech's shields.

Actually, 2.5 years ago FFG attempted to update the damage deck and everyone screamed bloody murder they would have to buy another core set.

So now the game has 2 damage decks that players can voluntarily choose from. I don't think the game needs a 3rd option.

FFG is making it so there is only one option (in competitive). The 2e damage deck will be the only option.
