Being an NPE isn't enough to warrant errata, imo. NPEs can be dealt with through design and squad-building. Eventually, they almost always get phased out of the meta because people want to play new things. Plus, as countrydude said, what makes something an NPE varies too much from person to person.

On the other hand, if something restricts the meta to the extent that you need to either play it or a hard counter (as GOWK did when he initially came out), errata could be an appropriate reaction.

Supposed to be coming with set 9...

EPIC 3 was cancelled?

For an exercise, I thought I'd try create a list of pieces I thought needed errata or some sort of tempering. I was keen to test the idea of perhaps making an errata set, at least as a personal thought.

I started, as you do, with OR. When I looked at the pieces I had played against and the ones I knew to be powerful, I could only really think of Bastilla, as everything else seemed good, but not frustratingly good. Bastila, while an OR monster, is still not even necessarily an auto-include thanks to recent additions to the faction, and I don't see an overabundance of OR on our tables, but I thought, 'well, I have to start somewhere', so I put her on my list with a question mark. I know some people have said that perhaps she should have started with 2 force points.

Sith was next and, as I looked over the pieces, I saw lots of amazing ones but nothing that I hadn't seen being beats at some point or another. Caedus was closest to the top for me with his cadre of impressive and very scary force powers, but still, I didn't feel he was a massive problem. Another addition to the list with a question mark.

Republic came next and I thought, 'now the fun begins', but I was somewhat disappointed. ERCs are the big talking point at the mo, but I didn't find them to be the next big NPE when I faced them at HamilCon. Then we have Mace, that 65pt monster that won far more than it lost when it first appeared... but is he in need of errata? I didn't think so. Another question. GOWK? A pain, sure, but I don't see enough of him to worry. R2 felt big for me as I lose a lot to him... maybe he could have some kind of restriction... it was, at least, as close as I had cone to actually wanting to change something, but it still didn't feel quite right.

Thank goodness for Seps. Before looking at the pieces they have, I wrote CDOs and Poggle. I'm pretty certain I want those ones munted in some way. After that, however, it was more great pieces that didn't seem to need anything that badly.

Well, as kept looking over factions and their top pieces, I couldn't help feeling that there was nothing too wrong with them. Sure, some good pieces - some great pieces - but in need of errata? I didn't think so. Rebels have Tantives maybe, NR didn't seem too monstrous, Fringe had some contenders but, apart from the underpriced Klat, nothing that I felt needed any work done. Mandos have the blustery Neo Officers and Vongs new cool stuff finally makes them a big threat (about time!). It was only Imperials that gave me pause for thought: I'm still scared of Daala (something we won't be able to test in NZ until July) and I hate Thrawn swaps... unless I'm running them.

But that, for me, was it. CDOs, Poggle, Tantives, Klats and a whole series of question marks. Not sure if it was an exhaustive search on my part but it was just an exercise. I'm pretty happy with everything in the game at the mo.

Awesome! Best news you could have given!
