wouldn't make much difference, most rolls include at least one blank anyway.

And even if you roll all paint, losing a die is a much bigger penalty. Which is what I'm going for.

Not quite "Every." There is one archetype in the top 20 that doesn't include her and that's Kylo+Rhos, which has done well at some regionals and I think would probably be the go-to and seen a bit more if there was no QD. But, generally, you are correct outside of that, and without QD rebels would be in all of the top spots I think.

This.

Personally believe the gap between QD and the rest of the faction isn't as wide as Miranda/Fenn/low/vcx and...the rest of the game?

QD currently represents your best bet against fat turrets since she's the highest ps, highest offense you have available. But she does not have anywhere near the staying power of fat turrets, Regen, or even imperial autothrusters

She also isn't a turret

Not to take away from how good she is, but perspective is necessary.

Perspective is truly what the designers and the creators of the impending FAQ need desperately if the game is to survive competitively.

Well, I meant that you'd have to change one hit or eyeball to a blank (so you have to have a TL or some form of reroll to be able to max hits) I think subtracting one red die is probably too strong and pretty much would kill turrets, completely. (I do think it would be fine for TLT alone, though).

People still dont understand that Miranda would be completely fine if TLT and Sabine crew cards were balanced. Those 2 cards are the problem, not Miranda herself.
Also look at meta from a few years ago - back when cancer known as bombs and ordnance was not as imbalanced as it is now. Miranda was there but Aces and other arc based ships were in the good spot.
Unfortunately cries of nerf-herders: "OMG bruh Soontir OP!!!" or "We need ordnance NOW, because bombs are such a fun bro!!!" prevailed.
