Cool.

Wish named Ewings went down. They aren't worth their current cost imo. As someone who's played them.

Yea. Corran was my ship for all of first edition. He’s pretty bad right now.

If their generic buffs work then a heavy Corran build can do work against them, but not enough to make him really solid at all.

oh well

What were the specifics? I'm assuming they mentioned Obi/Plo?

They basically said "obi is super popular and showed up all the time... But that seems fine!"

Instead they slapped r2s

Disagree, just slightly bad, not pretty bad

We can mutually disagree on that. Again, my stance is that free mods are too good.

Mostly this. Corran is not as bad as most folks think he is, but he was still bad enough he should have been buffed.

*edit* particularly considering nerfs to regen droids.

Especially with Hyenas/Starforts going down.

Jump5k with Cannon slot likely means ion cannon or tractor Beam most likely as HLC and autoblaster need bulleye.

Jumpmaster has bullseye, even if it doesn't have it on a primary, it still has one.

F5 is strong right now.

Epsilon Cadets for a quarter!

This seems fair. It will still allow people to use the high I Jedi but will promote build diversity.

They were referring to getting it lined up with a large base.

He also wasn’t on the top tables, which they noted as well.

Jedi aces have always been good against the field, but not great in the cut. There have been exceptions though

Check his worlds performance real quick. If that isn’t extremely bad we’re just using different definitions of words.

Vonreg at 57 the generics 45.... others fall in that range.

Yea I don’t know about that. Seems brutal.

Stream presentation was a bit haphazard and chaotic.... would have preferred more specifics rather than "a little bit" and "not too much"...

If autoblaster isnt too nerfed I think its an auto include in the jump5k.

FFG must be using a 1200 baud modem to upload the update file...
