I forget this place exists most of the time, sorry. I still don't like the forum layout but I have hope that it could get more traffic with some quality of life improvements. Here's an article about Admiral Trench.
I think increasing points for the Onager is the wrong way. I know, I know, you don't want to talk about changed ship cards, but there is another way. My recommendation would be an additional rule for ignition attacks : You cannot execute an ignition attack, if line of sight is obstructed. That would keep Romodi in line, and would make the Onager an interesting navigational (and setup) challenge.
The ISD-2 was over represented and is now fine. It's big, it's angry, you can feed it tokens for days (not just the usual comms net/resupply + hondo, but the full roster of token officers, Tarkin, a dedicated title for swapping command tokens...) And it's the perfect size to smash the slower/less maneuverable/often ECMless CW mediums to pieces. Using H9s to lock the single redirects we're often seeing now can be better than XI7s.
As you kind of note, if the Suppression Refit is getting dropped to 80 the Combat should fall to mid-70s. It doesn't get taken now when it's about the same price; saving a point is a... dubious reason to switch and if it's worth going to the trouble of changing, the change might as well matter.

Anti-Onager article!
This is where the fun begins. Love the concept, but need to check my schedule.
An April fool's joke that also is real and isn't a joke?
The squadrons companion article, where I have another chance to be wrong about everything. ;)
Great article. Thank you!

It's an honor to have you guys. Might be good for me to brighten this site's theme a bit if that's how embedded links will look.
I agree with most of this (as in it should happen, not necessarily that it will.)
Onager, Command Prototype, Hammerhead Scout, yes yes yes!
A couple divergences:
