Has anyone already tried to make the stars that have disappeared, with the current Mercenaries rules?
It would be interesting to build a resource for leagues that allows them to return in some form. I'm not looking for the power combos, they've been spammed everywhere.
For example, Puggy should be a 5/3/3+/5+?/7+ stunty, but you can't give him +ST so he's kinda out of the question.
But you can make an exact copy of Bomber Dribblesnot, a stunty superstar with boosted PA, MA, AVx2 and the Bombardier trait for just shy of 200k, more than triple the BB16 price tag.
Is this a sign the mercs rules aren't the best way to bring back old stars? |

It's a sign the merc rules are just bad.
Like, the rules for pricing normal players are pretty complex, and they still get adjusted all over the place afterward. The rules for pricing stars have never produced the normal star prices, but they usually get close.
But these are much worse. Still, the 7s rules in that book look really good, great update for BB20 of a solid ruleset, so you know, not all bad. |

It depends what you are trying to do with the Merc rules? They are not going to make exact replicas of lost starts but you can make reasonable players to add to your league. (Sadly it is also possible to make lots of unreasonable players with DP+2)
You can easily make a Merc Bomber for 70k. Sure he is a lot worse than Dribblesnot; but then Throwing is harder this edition. |

I went through all the stars and there are not many you can perfectly recreate. By my reckoning the following are exact or close.
Bomber, Bo, Boomer, Brick and Grotty, Cindy, Flint, G'Ral, J Earlice, Jordell, Lewdgrip, Lottabottl, Max Spleenripper, Neddley, Rashnak, Rasta, Ugroth and Withergrasp. |
