Give Republic a little more variety?

One thing I don't like about them, they have 3 Venators for Capitol ships. Kinda makes them booring since everything in their fleets are the same. Since the Rothana Destroyer is in the game, I'd love to see the Venator-C be replaced by the Rothana Battleship. Yeah, almost no canon stats are known for sure, but would be nice to have something a little different than fleets cap compliment composed of tons of Venators with a Vic and Procurator to break the monotony. At least then you'd have a 3rd ship to break the monotony of the Venator (even though I actually love the Venator as a ship).

 

Maybe also add in the Tector (which the Republic did have, although not until late) as IMO Tector + Venator would make for the single most terrifying 2 ship team since the Tector is so powerful and the Venator has such massive hangars.

Perhaps in the future, after all the rigging that still needs work is done. For now, I'm not entirely in a rush to add in more ships as I'd say most rosters are in fairly good shape as it is; though I'm certainly not adverse to giving the Republic more variety, a characteristic that they were fairly known for.

 

I will say however that they will not get the Tector, as even though it saw limited Republic service like the ISD-I did, it was not a mainstay or large part of the GAR, versus other ships that could be easily added in to fill a similar role.
