I don't know why the game seemed to think that the last battle was a big deal. I just bashed the door - I killed maybe two droids.

Well, they look kinda cool.  Thoughts on the stats? An interesting addition to the faction? |

Yeah - though I think Horde could be abused. Just hide two Star Forge Droids somewhere in a turbolift, and you have a never-ending army. Does Horde stack? That is, if you have four SFD's, do you get two in the next round?

Horde wouldn't stack ("if you control at least 2...").
You're right that there's some potential for abuse, but we tried to make the droid itself weak enough that it compensated for that potential.
If they were large, would that help? (Harder to hide two large pieces than two medium pieces, yes?)
If we decide that Horde is a possibility, I think we need to look very closely at possible abuse with Kazdan (who didn't exist when this fella was originally created).
What if it's broken into two components? A Star Forge Droid (generally comparable to the Battle Droid, but large) and a "SFD Commander" type who grants Horde? Or even a stationary generator with Emplacement? The potential for abuse would still exist, but might be mitigated a bit.
Thoughts?

No, I wouldn't think it's that big of a deal with Kazdan - no more broken than Super Stealth, or even Boba, BH. I think it's fine as is - even if you were to turtle, if it's only 20 hp, I wouldn't worry about it. Although, that generator concept is an interesting one.

I was thinking a little about the generator idea. Consider something like Kazdan, with "Immediate Star Forge Reserves," but STATIONARY. You could turtle up the generator, but since the droids are starting near it rather than in your starting area, they'd need a way to get out...
I may try statting it out later if I have time.

Yeah, try it. (Speed 0?)

So with the introduction of the SFD Generator, I'm taking Horde off the Star Forge Droid (and also upped the stats a little bit):

Yeah. Horde plus that SFDG could have been a bit overpowering.

So how's he look now?

Like a SBD. Is that what you're after?

Y'know, it occurs to me that we have a generator that's pretty much approved, but not the SFDs themselves... I'm moving the 10-point one to KotOR playtesting. Comment further or lock the thread at your discretion.

This is lookin good. Pretty bad as a 10 point piece, but the Generator makes it much more playable.

Well, they do become free, after a while. Does it even really need a cost at all?
