Indeed. I could see Yoda being the first pilot to top 3 force charge, though.

Or maybe he just regens 2 force per turn

Purple manoeuvres have been proposed some time ago, and would be cool indeed, though even better as a force talent: "after you reveal your dial you may spend two force charges to reduce the difficulty of your manoeuvre".

EDIT: this, of course, does not mean that I'm against purple manoeuvres on ETA's dial, on the contrary, I'm all for it.

Still, I'm eagerly awaiting for ETA-2 with 2-force generics, and higher ini Ahsoka, as I love her ability.

Indeed. If people don't want to exceed 3 force charge, then the other option is to give him a better way to recover it. That does tread heavily on Mace's toes, though, since that's his special ability - it's also Luke's but Mace and Yoda would share a faction so be in direct competition, which is more of a problem.

An alternative (or something you can tie to this) might be to give him multiple force talent slots and some way to support the force charge cost of having multiple abilities; mace gets 3 force and recovers more, but he gets the standard use for tokens and fine-tuned controls rather than getting a 'toolkit' of random abilities.

Since a lot of Delta-piloting Jedi don't really bother with force talent upgrades, that would immediately make Yoda feel different.

purple moves! that's exciting.

Give Yoda 4 force. why not??

BTW, it's only me who wants an Imperial dial with Vader pilot for this ship?

I'm all for two force talent Yoda and a lightside force talent called "Knowledge and Defense" that allows you to regenerate two force if you didn't attack this round.

No it'd be cool.

But would you ever see Vader in a TIE Advanced again?

Maybe? If pre-lava Vader’s ability is subpar, that could lean things to the Advanced’s favor.
And that’s even after seeing firm stats, dial, and cost.

But please, do NOT ask for a 4 evade ship that has access to unrestricted dice modifiers.

Just do something similar to Lightweight frame in V1. 4 green die stats, but the ship ability is : ''Your maximum number of evade die is 4'' or something better parsed. And no evade on the ship. That way, you're always looking at 4 greens (with force, expected something like 2 evade per roll i think) but you can never increase it with range, obstacles, etc. So the ship wouldn't want to stay at range 3 and would much rather close the distance and knife fight, kinda like the Fang.

I dunno, i feel like there's a lot you can do with the stats if you balance them out one way or another. I think the 1-2-3 green die stat * can * get a little stale after a while, and it'd be cool to have ability that interact with that a bit more. (IF! they're balance with the rest of the game in mind.)

He regens two force per round, but can't use the Force to modify attack dice.

How about something even more radical, like making it completely reliant on the Force for dice mods?

…

Then the actions can just be boost or barrel roll, with the option of a linked red evade, to represent the agility of the ship.

Not any point in evading if only the Force can be used.

Vader flew one after the Republic full transitioned to the Empire and he had his full cybernetics attached. It was in the comics iirc.

Oh, okay. Still room for a new ability, depending on design.

Yep. Thanks to the comics there is also room for a one off Resistance pilot ("Snap" Wexly) too...

Heh, wouldn’t mind his current ability on a RZ-2.
