We've got three more droids.
Jeff RossHOST
82:48
Astromech is down.
Jeff RossHOST

Security droid one is down.
Jeff RossHOST
82:53
Rennie and Khan, you guys, you're kind of hearing, you know, the chaos.
Natalie WatsonHOST
83:07
pissed me off because I was really enjoying that.
Austin WalkerHOST
83:10
And then they reduced the uses of Astromech's built-in comm link ability to three per turn at the maximum rank.
Austin WalkerHOST
83:17
So the most you can do to hand off to new AP is three per turn.
Austin WalkerHOST
83:22
So even if someone
Rob ZacnyHOST
83:23
gives them an AP, they can't transfer it.
Rob ZacnyHOST
83:26
They
Austin WalkerHOST
83:26
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.
Austin WalkerHOST
83:33
This combination is particularly disruptive.

MattHOST
26:45
It wouldn't be crazy to me, shield four or five.
MattHOST
26:50
I mean, Astromechs could like repair shields.
MattHOST
26:53
Astromechs could repair the ship.
MattHOST
26:55
Astromechs could give aims.
MattHOST
26:58
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.
speaker_1HOST
27:06
Yeah.
EricHOST
34:10
But as much as I like accuracy...
EricHOST
34:14
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.
EricHOST
34:22
I like consistency.
EricHOST
34:24
So if they do decide that this is what they want, then throw away all those other molds.
EricHOST
34:32
From here on forward, all your Astromechs need to be the same size.
EricHOST
34:38
I don't
MattHOST
34:38
disagree.
EricHOST
35:58
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
ThomasHOST
16:47
R2-D2 is classified as what type of droid?
CrystalHOST
16:50
Astromech.
ThomasHOST
16:51
Yeah.
ThomasHOST
16:53
The choices were Astromech, Protocol, Servant, and Battle Droid.
CrystalHOST
16:57
And this is why we don't start with giving each other the four options, because it would be so obvious in most cases.
CrystalHOST
17:04
Yeah.
