Astromech is down.
J

J
82:53Jeff RossHOST
Rennie and Khan, you guys, you're kind of hearing, you know, the chaos.

pissed me off because I was really enjoying that.
A
83:10Austin WalkerHOST
And then they reduced the uses of Astromech's built-in comm link ability to three per turn at the maximum rank.
A
83:17Austin WalkerHOST
So the most you can do to hand off to new AP is three per turn.
A
83:22Austin WalkerHOST
So even if someone
R
83:23Rob ZacnyHOST
gives them an AP, they can't transfer it.
R
83:26Rob ZacnyHOST
They
A
83:26Austin WalkerHOST
say, while this change is subtle, it stops an interaction that allowed the Astromech to dump the action points it granted itself into other units through built-in comm link.
A
83:33Austin WalkerHOST
This combination is particularly disruptive.

X-1 Star Wars Legion Cast EP71: Cutting Through Impervious
M
26:45MattHOST
It wouldn't be crazy to me, shield four or five.
M
26:50MattHOST
I mean, Astromechs could like repair shields.
M
26:53MattHOST
Astromechs could repair the ship.
M
26:55MattHOST
Astromechs could give aims.
M
26:58MattHOST
I mean, there's a lot of like pilots, right? I mean, one thing X-Wing, the TIE fighter pilots did a lot of cool stuff.
S
27:06speaker_1HOST
Yeah.
KRC 61 - The Elephant in the Room
E
34:10EricHOST
But as much as I like accuracy...
E
34:14EricHOST
I don't like the fact that you're going to have an R2 and he's slightly smaller than every other Astromech you have in your collection.
E
34:22EricHOST
I like consistency.
E
34:24EricHOST
So if they do decide that this is what they want, then throw away all those other molds.
E
34:32EricHOST
From here on forward, all your Astromechs need to be the same size.
E
34:38EricHOST
I don't
M
34:38MattHOST
disagree.
E
35:58EricHOST
so much better than the other two r2s out there um especially when you're talking about a 20 price tag on a small figure and it's one thing if you have the ultimate r2 and he has all the little gadgets that attach to him but just for a plain old r2 and all he has is a removable panel so you can swap it out and make it look like he's got the restraining bolt or not that that's not enough to really get me excited after all this time

T
16:47ThomasHOST
R2-D2 is classified as what type of droid?
C
16:50CrystalHOST
Astromech.
T
16:51ThomasHOST
Yeah.
T
16:53ThomasHOST
The choices were Astromech, Protocol, Servant, and Battle Droid.
C
16:57CrystalHOST
And this is why we don't start with giving each other the four options, because it would be so obvious in most cases.
C
17:04CrystalHOST
Yeah.
