I kinda feel like 82 would be the right price for all the limited Defenders. I understand the fear of a cheap Vessery, since free actions are really powerful and really scary, but it hasn't been in 2e. Maybe Passive Sensors and easy Locks changes things, and Targeting Computer is on the horizon, but ultimately, I tend to think all the Defender Aces are so close to the same power level that they ought to be the same price, and someone should just pick whatever fits best into their list.

I do agree with this, I was happy paying 84 for Rex :D

Ryad should be cheaper than Rex. Atm, she's just an amusing points fortress.

I'd agree here; the abilities are all quite comparable for power level. I'd say Rex should cost a tad more for I5, but other than that I'd like to see more pricing parity.
