Yeah I'd like to see a Ysanne Isard mini. I have been toying with a Krytos Virus ability. All living, non-human minis take 10 damage upon activation. Save 16.

I know this isn't completely on topic but its related: I think that we are getting to the point where we are running out of recommended minis to use (and one of the things that has always bothered me about v-set cards is that picture of a clone trooper on a mandalorian card haha :3 ) and that may cause conflicts in the future, so perhaps we may see some minis from other games - say, DND or heroclix - used as the recommended mini? I know there are some that would make excellent proxies (i bought a heroclix of ghost to use as a starter for a custom malgus) and it would cause less confusion down line.
As a second idea - which may not be as feasible - we could go the old wizos route and start using drawings as the image on the card....one of the amazing things about fandoms like star wars and magic the gathering and comic books is the disproportionately high number of talented artists that love them (lets face it, there are a lot less people out there drawing football players than Batman and Vader) and I'm sure some of them would be more than willing to do drawings for the cards.
I myself could do a few for each set (though I honestly don't have the time to do a whole set).
To some degree I think that most of the players who use v-set cards make customs - even if its just adding a color flash to a scout trooper - so I think the recommended mini image on the card is somewhat pointless (and its also an eye-sore).

A darth vader with absorb energy!!! (used in the movie, referenced in multiple books and sources) New speeder bikes (an update on the old Rebel Storm ones) Another palps with execute order 66 (preferably sith) New jango fett (there is a whole game about the guy, plenty of source material to use with him) A count dooku/tyranus with a respectable CE (you know, something to boost force users, followers, anything) X-1 viper droid update!!! (give it absorb energy without the force :P) SD series battle droids Emperor's clones
Ah, I will just say it, take almost every universe huge and redesign them. All of them were cost without knowing how bad rigid and huge was, they all need the loving hands of the v-set designers.

Situational Awareness: When this character is attacked, the attacker uses its printed attack and damage ratings without bonuses.
Bob and Weave: This character may only be attacked once per turn.
Power down: Replaces turn; adjacent lower-cost droid is considered activated. (On a cost 9 Jawa.)
I really like "Crush" by General Grievous above, but I wouldn't make characters move. 10 auto-damage, but the tank has to find an empty place to move to (or create one by crushing some 10-point pieces).
Trample: If this character does not move more than its speed, this character can enter squares of medium or smaller enemies. Before entering an enemy's square, the enemy takes 10 damage. An enemy takes only 10 damage per turn from Trample.

I'd like to see options (or boosts) in the 5-12 point range for Fringe.
One idea... now that we have Acrobatic, a very fast melee piece (Star Wars Ninja - woohoo) that can move around and take out the other side's activations.
Cost 10 HP: 20 Def: 16 Atk: 4 Dmg: 10
Speed 8 Acrobatic Melee Attack Galloping Attack 10HP: As this character moves, it can attack each adjacent enemy that has 10HP remaining, +4 Attack; this turn, this character cannot attack any enemy twice and cannot move directly back into a space it has just left. This ability is usable only on this character's turn.
Keep the cost low by allowing Galloping Attack 10HP to only affect opposing fodder. Keep him alive for at least one gallop by giving him Acrobatic to move around the opposing beat sticks and avoid AOOs.

Tràkata style - quickly switching your lightsaber off and back on to throw off your opponent and make an opening to strike. I'd like to see it have both a defensive and offensive application. On a lightsaber wielder, obviously. rough ideas, as I can't think of all the odd interactions that could occur: When this character would be hit by a melee attack, make a save of 11. On a success that attack misses and this character may make an immediate attack against that attacker.
Whenever this character attacks an adjacent enemy, it can ignore enemy special abilities and Force powers that prevent damage from attacks; save 11.

Another idea for a low cost fringe gimmick... an infiltrator.
Opponent sets them up in their own starting zone (like Han in Carbonite, but isn't frozen). Character has Spy, but is incredibly weak - 10 damage only and can't be boosted.
Cost: 10 HP: 10 Def: 16 Atk: 4 Dmg: 10
Spy Infiltrator: Opponent sets this character up with his own characters in his own starting zone Lone Agent: This character is unaffected by allied commander effects or special abilities

Another idea for a low cost fringe gimmick... a programmed mouse droid
Personal Mouse Droid Cost: 7 HP: 30 Def: 20 Atk: 0 Dmg: 0
Relay Orders Personal Assignment: After setup, choose an ally. At the end of that ally's turn, if this character is not activated, place this character adjacent to the ally; this character is considered activated.

First, it created openings by bypassing the opponents weapon. Second, it supposedly made it so the opponent was thrown off guard after a successful block (though nothing I know about swordplay verify this in any way...) Third, it made it so the user could more easily use the force without having to concentrate on combat. I think the first aspect is the most effective in mini form. Something like the second part you mentioned. Though I am not a fan of how it makes for even more save 11 rolls... How about something like this? Tràkata style: Rather than making its normal attack or attacks, this character can make a single attack against an opponent that can not be prevented or redirected. Special abilities that modify the number of attacks per round can not be used when using this ability. I think that would work better as it is more like the ability itself, something you don't rely on but rather use to gain an advantage for a moment in combat. Also, you can make it a mastery style for people who do end up using it as a mainstay in combat. Tràkata style mastery: Rather than making its normal attack or attacks, this character can make an attack that automatically hits and can not be prevented or redirected. Special abilities that modify the number of attacks per round can not be used when using this ability.

Also, a new exar kun!!!! Something like
Exar Kun, Sith Lord
Cost: 80 HP: 150 Def: 19 Att: +15 Dam: 20
SA: Unique, Double Attack, Twin attack, Melee attack, Niman Style Mastery
FP: Force 3, Force renewal 2, Master of the Force 2, Sith Sorcery, Sith Rage, Transfer Essence, Force Essence, Force Sense, Force Blast 3, Sith Alchemy 1
CE: Allies with a force rating within 6 squares gain Sith Rage. Savage characters are subject to this effect; savage allies gain +4 attack, +4 defense, and are subject to commander effects.

I didn't word it well, should definitely be optional use, replaces attacks. Mastery could be an automatic crit, given only to high cost characters of course. The blocking thing I think has to do with the pressing of blades and a resulting loss of balance when one is shut off. (may not be true to real life, but you can't turn off a sword in real life ;) It could go on a character with LS Block/Parry like Cortosis Gauntlet, where if the save is above a certain number you get an attack. (is there already something like that?)

An auto crit for mastery might be interesting, take my mastery and make it the normal one and then make the mastery a crit instead ^^ I like it and it is limited to one attack (so like 40 damage tops, 60 with the crit). Maybe limit it to only being useful on melee units though? It wouldn't work as well vs a blaster :P Also, the reason it doesn't make sense (the off balance part) isn't so much because you can't do it in real life as it is when you lock weapons you are trying to over power the opponent to cut them, if the opponent suddenly dropped their weapon, they just aided you in your goal of cutting into them.

Take that, Mara Jade, Jedi!

That's not true. That's impossible! OK, just think of it as happening while passing the blade rather than locking weapons. I suppose anyone that is skilled enough to do that should have Lightsaber Defense anyway, which goes back to my suggestion of making it an add-on ability like Cortosis G, triggering on higher Parry/LS Block/Defense save rolls. I'm ok with it just being for attacks, as that would be simpler. I do like the idea of a parry/counterattack combo rolled into one SA. Maybe call it Master Duelist.

I'm really glad you mentioned this, CC-23478! I've been thinking the exact same thing. =) I'm a pretty good artist myself and I could definitely do the artwork for most or all of an entire set! I think we should probably move this to its own thread. =)

A cheap little non-unique Sith Diplomat/Ambassador/Envoy with diplomat, and something that negatively affects the opponent's pieces like Doctrine of Fear.

Viable Fringe door control options at various point costs between 3 and 8... options of what to do with those last 1 or 2 points.
Cost 4: Satchel charge with small stat boost... 20 HP, ATK 2, DEF 14 Cost 5: Satchel charge that can shoot but stats as bad as an ugnaught Cost 7: Override with stats like Lobot. (Essentially, Lobot minus the Reinforcements.)
