This would look amazingly weird, and more importantly would require an update to the way Bloo Milk handles characters, but look at some of the first tanks. There are 22 Unique pieces that costs 55+ in the sets from Rebel Storm to Rebels and Imperials. 18 of them are melee. I made a list of the HP, Defense ratings, and damage-negating abilities of those 18 pieces (can post it if anyone wants). Exactly half of them have any sort of damage negation. Seven of those have Block OR Deflect/Reflect. Only two can block both melee and non-melee. The rest simply rely on massive piles of HP and high Defense ratings to survive. What if we started making pieces with higher-than-normal HP and Defense? I'm not totally in favor of the idea myself, but keep in mind I'm not suggesting we give Nahdar Vebb 200 HP. By giving beatsticks higher HP and Def, we can me much more relaxed with the defensive abilities we give them. Maybe something like: Master Mace Windu, 63 points 180 HP 25 Defense +16 Attack 20 Damage Melee Attack, Triple Attack Vaapad-Style Fighting Force 6 Lightsaber Defense Lightsaber Assault Force Repulse 3 Not the most coherent collection of abilities, but it illustrates the point. He's much harder to hit by grunts, and he's got a bucketload of Hit Points. But his only damage-negation is a once-per-turn, 50/50 chance Lightsaber Defense. That could just push direct damage to the forefront (Subcommander would laugh at this solution), and it would definitely be a step into uncharted waters. Could really mess things up if we did it too quickly. But just throwing the idea out there. Sorry for the long post

capping damage is stupid. opportunist, worthless. cunning attack, worthless. +4 +10 bonus to help fringe be playable, worthless. cap damage at ten out becomes a fight of who can get the most attacks or direct damage
I think the next set should focus on non melee shooters that are better up close with movement capabilities to encourage them to be close to the action and in the action. power blast, Stun beam, etc.
I would love to see a combo shooter piece with teamwork. something like 4-LOM and Zuckuss cost 60 bla bla bla

Any SA/FP/CE that helps this in the game:
The number of times you roll the dice for attacks
Is greater than
The number of times you roll the dice for everything else.

Friends, gamers, Bloomilkers, lend me your ears; In the present age of our fine game I have come to make a suggestion, to be an advocate, to make known my plea for a character of obscure, lowly origins, that has risen from the depths of a non-canon video game to proper recognition in the Dark Horse comic book, Darth Maul - Son of Dathomir . What is this character that has experienced so mighty and worthy an ascension, you may ask? Truly, it is none other than the Grapple Droid. So oft in my days of youth did I sit among my minis and contemplate, "What would such a droid, so respected among my peers for its physical strength and resistance to lightsaber attacks, be like in our grand game of Star Wars Miniatures?" Sadly, my friends, I would not find the answer to that question, and great has been my sorrow in its absence. The only remedy to this heartfelt ill, as great for me as it is for the many fans of this wonderful droid, would be to see it canonized in our fine game as well, just as it has been canonized in the Star Wars universe as a whole. Recall to mind the courage and bravery of those fine artists and storytellers at Dark Horse Comics who, in an instant of triumphal genius, proposed that in their last Star Wars comic series (the only one to be made canon) this droid should appear in those beautiful pages. "Ladies and gentleman," the speaker doubtlessly said, "I have been inspired, as if by a muse of antiquity, by a thought so marvelous and divine that I am compelled to share it with you. When I first played the Revenge of the Sith video game so many years ago, I witnessed the strength and power of the Grapple Droid. Never before had I seen such a glorious enemy, and my hands froze at the sight of it. I could barely defend myself against my foe, so considerable was my awe. Never has the shock of that moment diminished, not even into the present day, and in respect of so great a droid, I must propose that we canonize him in our fine comic, as a knight before his king." Oh! Let us hope that we too might have the courage to canonize the Grapple Droid into our game, for both, in their greatness, will be much increased in respect.

It's pretty hard to build a good Mandos squad without Kelborn - is there any way of making another great piece so that Kelborn's not in every squad. I guess he's pretty comparable to Ganner in NR in price range etc - it's also rare to see NR without Ganner.

Most every faction has a piece like that. The problem with trying to replace a faction cornerstone is incredibly dangerous. Look what happened with Daala. Not that it's an unworthy goal, it's just super difficult. What you have to do is start slow, and carefully build toward that. With several pieces over the course of multiple sets. Single pieces that allow a faction cornerstone not to be used will only end up causing more problems.

Any way to just blow the doors off the game and add a 21 point fringe with booming voice? Imps, Reps, Vong and Sith have all the fun...

I'd like to see some younger and older versions of bounty hunters. Our favorite guys at the beginning or end of their careers. Something like: Zuckuss, young findsman Sugi, veteran hunter Bossk, Head of the Bunty Hunters Guild and maybe a head of each of the guilds/houses with a CE specific to that house (Jedi Hunter, Pirate Hunter, etc)
