Yep, good stuff.

And I mention this mostly to show I have actually looked at it, but the formatting appears messed up, with the names of the ships on one page and the rest of the stat block on the rest.

DONNY! 
Yeah?

ErikB: Thanks for telling me, I thought I had fixed that before uploading - I'm not very good at this layout stuff and with that much text, images and crap floating around stuff jump about everywhere due to small changes to one place. Thanks, I will look over, fix and re-upload.

Editing issue fixed - it's re-uploaded.

Any other commentary on stats, stuff or other is welcome.

I like it. I'm really looking forward to using some of this stuff with my players.  Suggestions: 2, and little ones. 1) Given you've commented on my Nestt conversion, feel free to add an edited version of it into the doc.  That would be awesome. I've been meaning to edit the first post to reflect the suggestions, but it's annoying to do on the iPad.  2) Since the Shadowsuit is listed in the armour section, can we have Shadowtroopers in the Stormtrooper section? Or did I just miss them?

Anyhoo, keep up the great work!

I can add the Nestt certainly, thank you!

Shadowtroopers? I assume you're referring to the Known Threats supplement now yes?

I think what you refer to as shadow troopers is what older sources refer to as Storm Commandos? Which is in there, elite stormtroopers in black armour.

Or are you referring to the lightsaber wielding troopers from JK: Outcast/TFU? I'm not sure I want lightsaber wielding minions, or henchmen for that matter… at all. Considering how powerful the lightsaber is in this game, that type of troops - alone or in groups - is going to wipe a party with just a few lucky rolls… but if that is desirable, I'd just run with normal stormtrooper sergeant stats and add a lightsaber, heh… perhaps even tone it down a bit. Alternately make it into a nemesis level adversary - about the Royal Guard level or thereabouts (I realise now that my royal guards are very powerful - perhaps too powerful).

May be refering to the dark troopers or shadow stormtroopers. The former being the droids in black armor and the latter also known as the blackhole troopers, troopers wearing black stormtrooper armor..

Dark troopers are cool - not sure how I'd stat them up yet though.

Shadow Stormtroopers seems similar to the storm commandos - except that the latter has an armour more like the scout trooper, and the former's armour seems more high-tech than mere stealth reflec coating.

I'll conjure some stats for those too I think.

As a sidenote I just came upon the Shadow Guard - force sensitive royal guards with lightsaber pikes? Nice. I had almost forgotten them after repressing the memory of TFU. Not sure if its wise to conjure stats for those lads though.

PS: This is a copy/paste of the comment I made on Jey's site: http://jegergryte.wordpress.com

Love the latest version! It’s much cleaner and in my opinion fits more with the spirits of the EotE rules regarding crunchiness level. Your previous attempts where a joy to read but to clunky to use quickly in creating NPCs (which in my sense is one of the great things about EotE).

Only have one question after a really quick pass on the weapon/armor section (read all this late). Do the benefits from datachips stack? In other words, does a large archive remove 1 setback, give a boost dice, and upgrade the ability once or just the later?

The intention was that they do not stack.

The information surplus - overflow - of the internet could pose a greater challenge than the more limited resource of encyclopedia britannica … look for cats on the internet = LolCatz! In the encyclopedia = more specific. Larger amounts of data might not be so rigoursly tested for validity.

Still, for archives like this I guess one could make a good argument for a stacking function… and then, does the archive acutally contain the information you're looking for? if not, there is no bonus at all… it depends how you want to use it really. I'd go for non-stacking.

Oh, and thanks for all the praise!

I'm not good at the compliment stuff - we norwegians hate sticking out and being "blamed" for doing good work - unless we can point out it was a "team effort", which makes us feel slightly better. So I'm not good at the whole compliment thing, particularly showing that I appreciate it. This is my way of doing that, which I guess goes to show how awkward it is and makes me feel.

I enjoy making this supplement, but it will soon be over - I need to focus on my postgraduate project, and of course the Known Threats supplement. I'm making quite a few NPCs of various power levels, and all the major antagonists of my campaign (dead or alive) that is not of FFGs making will also appear in this supplement.
