No, but on a different piece altogether, would make sense. A Scout or Recon guy or something to that effect. |

Increased activations, non-living screens, tough to hit....Darn Mouse Droid Syndrome. The ideas above going off of something similar to the Rodian Trader's style of handing out abilities is rather cool. Heck, could have a Mando Technician that granted Relay Orders to other Mandos as a Replaces Attacks/Turn option (a la Rodian Trader). Then whatever is channeled through Relay Orders would affect the piece with RO itself. Some interesting ideas here guys. Oooh, I like that idea!

Hmmm, I missed some posts as I wasn't expecting that many replies and just clicked the last post link. I agree with Weeks and Aaron that Dennis' 11 point character does nothing for the faction. Relay orders works as it essentially is the same thing under a different name, but it can't be handed out to a single piece. It's pointless, even with Special Abilities tacked on, and really doesn't go to the heart of what I was getting at. Now, as Aaron said, and I think V2 of Coms Uplink is similar, is a Rodian Trader-esque piece that passes out Relay orders would be almost perfect. The main problem I have with using Relay Orders specifically in this way is that it will be incredibly broken for a certain unspoiled character. That's why I felt it had to specifically mention allies whose name contain Mandalorian and came up with Coms Uplink while still trying to keep it something different from the Yammosk. |

Well your spending 11 instead of 3 and you still have to advance your fragile dude up, i dont see it as a problem when you can almost get 4 mice instead. |

I thought you didn't like the 11 point piece, now you're defending it??? "The main problem I have with using Relay Orders specifically in this way " is referring to giving it out a la Rodian Trade. |

No i meant you would be better to use the 4 mouse droids then the 11 point guy. I was mistaken though about the way you were talking about handing out the ability. I was talking about the Mandalorian Agent that i discussed earlier, now i see what you are talking about. |

I know I has probably been said, but a new Star Killer would be great. especially when you have seen what he does in The Force Unleashed II. Still waiting to see the rest of DoTF to make any requests though. |

A Wookiee bounty hunter like the one in the Threat of Peace TOR webcomic named Dalborra, don't know of any others. Generic fringe wookiee smuggler, or something to that effect. Pellaon Troopers from the new TOR game. Barden Jusik |

a better set/variation of sith faction and old republic troopers...there seems to be a great number of different trooper type figures/commanders in the "big" factions which seems to be lacking in other factions. I think the sith could use them to augment the large amount of high cost unique figures in the sith faction. |

one i thought of , that i think is not a game changer but a good theme piece. One Arm (the wampa that luke attacked) Fringe Cost 35 HP: 80 Defense: 18 Attack: 10 Damage : 20 (special Abilities ) Unique Melee attack Double attack Ambush Jedi Hunter Momentum Speed 8 Savage (CE) Savage Chracters are subject to this commander effect. Allies Named wampa gain ambush. Savage characters gain Momentum, and extra attack. he may be a little undercosted, but still a fun them squad. Human Special operations soldier Faction (fringe) Cost : 27 Hp: 60 defense: 16 Attack: 11 Damage: 20 Special Abilities Accurate shot Twin attack Stealth Cover Fire (Replaces turn; until the start if this characters next turn, this character may make an attack of opportunity against any legal target that moves into his line of sight. Characters with flight cannot ignore this special ability. ) i think i could take off twin on him and he would still be pretty good. He is actualy a great counter to yobuck and lancer squads, but fun for other uses. |

This is my second attempt at theis list... I did one earlier with about 7-8 folk on it and there may be some double-ups here, but I've been a-thinkin'! (Feel free to ignore the previous ones I double up...) Admiral Da'ala (Imp and NR affinty? and/or Mando reserves?) Joruus C'baoth!!!!!!!! Shada Du'kal... she would rule Vua Rapuung (with an affinity to Anakin?) Borsk Fey'la (maybe can't have NR jedi or something, or some Jedi restriction... I don't know) Carl Omas Admiral Paelleon!!!!!!!! Better Wookie sub-faction CEs or help somehow A non-unique Hutt (kudos to Billiv) A new Rebel Chewie - a good one! A Republic C3PO An NR 3PO/R2/Chewie/Lando! A new NR Han! GAG Troops (and more NR non-jedi, non-uniques) a New Jag!!! Ben Kenobi (on Tatooine) or Obi-Wan, Last of the Jedi (only Jedi on the squad) Rayner Thul/UnuThul Lomi Plo and the other one... Alema Rar Noghri with and affinty to Leia! (Lady Vader...) Killiks!!!!! Chazrach (maybe 3-point Vong slaves... use a Rodian Brute?) Thrackan Sal-Solo Goran Beviin Look - I know this is unpopular, but I would trade everything for a uber-melee Rebel Luke! but you could solve that by making a 50-point uber-melee Luke that had Rebel and NR affinty or something... something from around the transition from Rebel to NR. Since the NR guys don't really like the 74pt Luke and think the GMLS too expensive. a New Maul! Perhaps wi' Stealth? and wi' Twin/double so Whorm doesn't overpower him Emperor Reborn!!!! Maybe give him the huge lightsaber abilities everyone has wanted him to have The Executor guy from the Dark Empire comics... Tahiri! Kas'im - the Blademaster Booster Terrik ...and that's about it! ***EDIT!*** ...because that's not about it yet... Tenel Ka Prince Isolder The Hapans! A bunch of N/U's for them... A Bull Rancor! Rancor and a Dathomir Witch The Witches of Dathomir |

It would be cool to have a cheap grunt with Infinite like in SSB where everytime it dies it keeps coming back. Stormies that keep coming back for more! I also would like to see more "Epic" 100+ point minis like GMLS especially a Darth Vader. |

If we did that, I think Lord Sidious is more fitting, with Vader being 2nd or 3rd depending on your feelings about Yoda. Lord Sidious Separatists 100+ points HP: 130 Def: 19 Atk: 14 Damage: 20 Unique, Melee Attack, Triple Attack Dun Moch Style Mastery (Adjacent enemy characters may not benefit from Lightsaber Duelist, Jedi Hunter or any Special Ability whose name contains Style; save 16. Force Powers whose name contain Lightsaber may not be used against this character) Affinity: May be in a Republic or Sith Squad. Master Tactician Master Manipulator (During set-up, after seeing your opponents squad you may replace characters in your squad with a character of lesser point cost.) Force 3, Force Renewal 3, Master of the Force 3 Lightsaber Defense Advanced Battle Meditation (I'm sure this already exists so won't bother to come up with something ) Force Cloak Lightsaber Flurry (Force 2, usable only on this characters turn. Until the end of this character's next turn, or until he takes damage or uses a Force Point this character gains Twin Attack.) Yeah, completely over the top, but that should do |
