Really enjoying the microthrusters on the Starviper and flying the jedis... so heres to hopeing FFG combines the two. Make the Eta 2 really fragile, but super hard to catch.

Oh man, I am totally down for that. Heh, maybe it can have a pilot that allows either type of br.

Do we want to live in a world where Anakin gets microthrusters?

I was gonna make a smart comment about Advanced Sensors being necessary for that to be too bad, but uh... Heh.

Well when/if we get Anakin in an Eta 2, the Republic will have him in 4 ships. He can have different abilities

He has the exact same ability in both the Delta-7 and the BTL-B. Since the delineation between them and him in the N-1 is his age I doubt he'll have a different ability in the ETA-2 Actis. Especially with it essentially being a stripped down Delta-7 with cannons. Aside from that, Starviper micro-thrusters really don't match up with what the ETA-2 does with it's barrel rolls since a Starviper could not perform the lateral shift that Anakin's ETA-2 does in RotS. The ETA-2 is an interceptor, it'll have an Autothruster style ability along the lines of the RZ-1/RZ-2(without the arc rotate option) or TIE/In or /Vn unless they decide to make the designation an "in name only" like they did with the "Interceptor" designation on the Scyk and the "Heavy Bomber" designation on the Scurrg...

Oh gosh, please no... Really, just don't...

Supernatural Anakin with this and an actual action afterwards would the most obnoxious thing in the game by far. Guri is barely held in check by her I5 and AdvSensors' limits.

I don't know how they intend to differentiate between Delta and Eta. I'd expect dial without red maneuvers, that would be interesting. Perhaps some kind of Bullseye ability? And maybe even heavier variant as a Configuration, just like 7b... Really not sure how to make these different enough.

I really want V-Wings with this. I think it could be a neat niche. Think TIE/v1 but with micro thrusters.

Shieldless 2 red front arc primary, 3 agility, similar or same hull with a cannon and astromech slot if they stick to lore.

The ETA-2 will most likely resemble the TIE Interceptor/Fang: 3 attack, 3 agility, 2 hull, 2(or 1) shield, have an interceptor style dial (with 3-turns unlike the ethersprite, and sloops instead of talons) - but keep its force activated fine-tuned controls (instead of autothrusters), the force evade, and the droid slot. Possibly a cannon-slot instead of missile/torp.

I could maybe see it getting a new ability (I'd like to see FTC plus the option of Force Daredevil) but I mostly expect it to be just fairly standard Squint fare, probably with some CLT-like thing (maybe just 3 die bullseye, 2 die V, I'd like to see that as a general thing on interceptor-types)
