So with the Privateer CID in the not too distant future, how do you think the current Privateer casters stack up?
What I would propose:
Fiona - Gains Curse of Shadows, gives Talion a debuff other than Aiyana & Holt, fits in with her 'Dark Magic' theme.
Shae - Change Phantasm to grant Poltergeist as well as the -5 RNG, gives it utility against non-ranged lists, or maybe it could grant pathfinder and -5 RNG, basically just another effect that is useful against non-ranged stuff.
Bart - No changes needed, maybe a bump up to 27/28 WJ points, just to make list building a bit easier
These I feel would give each of the casters a very distinct role and play style, so they do not tread on each others toes
Fiona - Debuffs and Shenanigans Shae - Threat for days Bart - Armour for days
What do you guys think?

The only thing that has me concerned about this CID is the Dev Hangout they had last week (maybe the week before) when they gave out the Circle spoilers for the Tharn CID. They specifically said they would not talk about any future CIDs and that they were always changing. This had me wondering if that meant the Privateer CID was going to be put on hold for something more pressing? Maybe even they decided it wasn't dire and it's really being put off. Maybe I'm just being paranoid?

There is almost no reason to take the Charter. Dodge on most of our solos is just bad, they don't have the DEF to back that up. It's just a really sad theme, and I still question why they didn't give us the +1 to the starting roll that the original theme had. |

If we are going to go with some wish-listing here, how about this:
Fiona: She plays similarly to a Cryxian caster. An armor debuff would nice, maybe a second damage spell to give her other options. The biggest thing I want is to explore the Thamarite part of her card. A Thamarite unit or two would be ideal.
Shae: I want his feat to keep the pathfinder and maybe the [parry] part for the whole turn.
Bart: I need to play him more. I'm not sure what he is lacking besides a couple WJ points if possible. A solid light warjack with a good gun would be nice.

Fiona getting Sucker: Cultist and an Arm debuff would be great. Really, her turning into a Privateer version of a spell slinging Cryx caster would be great.
I wish Bart's signature spell was more worthwhile. Really, it's Batten every round and Broadside is forgotten about. A light jack with a big gun would be great for him, I think.

I really just want more options. A thamarite unit would be really cool, and maybe the ability for Fiona to take other thamarites in talion theme, because ragman.
Like has been stated, a light with a gun would be great. A variety of warjack for every naval gun on a ship. The light can carry the sail shredding blunderbuss kind. It would be a spray and maybe inflict a speed penalty.
A way to buff existing jacks to give them more identity. Amphibious is great, maybe ways of making water like Gators do.

What makes me laugh about Talion Charter is that when they spoiled it for the theme force drop, the next week they spoiled Slaughter Fleet (the other pirate theme), which gave Gang Fighter to Warjacks.
It just beggars belief at how disparate PP make things that were developed at the same time, dropping the worthless Dodge rule and giving Warjacks Gang Fighter would actually make Talion worth playing.

While a Thamarite unit would be great for Fiona, I don't really want to see it be a Privateer unit as well, but that's just because I don't run much of the Pirate list.
