I'm most likely missing something but I can't for the lift of me see the point of this droid. As far as I can tell there are no pilots, crew, or other upgrades in the Republic (at present I'll admit) that make use of calculate. Is this just a case of FFG preparing us for something down the track? Or am I blind and have missed an obvious combo?

It's after a red move, so it's a non-action way to get a dice mod (albeit lesser than a focus) even when stressed.

And if you took a lock the turn before, it means even on a red-move turn. you can be double-modded for your attack.

Remember, a Calculate token isn't just FOR things. It changes 1 focus result to a hit or evade. It's just a lesser focus that most ships can't take.

Ah, thanks. Haven't played as much 2.0 as I'd have liked (curse of being in a country with a small player base). Didn't realise calculate could be used by any pilot to convert a single focus. I thought it was only available to those pilots who had calculate as opposed to focus on their action bars. Cheers mate.

That's cool. Any token can be used by any ship, whether it's on their bar or not, if they have a way to get it.

Tie Fighters can spend locks, droids can spend focuses, evades can be passed around willy nilly lol It's a token free-for-all if you have the right abilities.

Put it on Odd Ball and get calc and lock after k turning...

R4-P44 works well with Caibrated Laser Targeting in the Delta.

Another potential synergy is Anakin who could activate his ability to clear stress while '44 picks up a calculate that can be used in place of the Force he just spent.

It doesn't make sense since -P17 exists. For the same price you can guarantee an action after a red maneuver, twice. Good luck getting -P44 to prox more than once in a game, let alone twice or more. FFG overcosts bullseye abilities left and right.

they're both limited, so you can only have one of each in every squad. i agree that P44 should probably be three or four points instead of five. maybe P17 should also be six points or more. that can easily be adjusted, though.
