Mace is still really useful. I'd like to start with Rex, Ahsoka, CS, Fives, and Plo Koon, wi the backup order of JC, Biggs, GS, BF.
Mace is giving more offense to Republic ships than others which the first six benefit from. Having a full republic team including capital ship means Rex can give protection and tm every turn. It means Everybody gets a tenacity buff that causes spontaneous protection growth on everybody whenever a buff is resisted. Having a target locker in clone sergeant, Rex, and Fives means lots of extra effects, and aoe spam from endurance. Fives and Ahsoka both have buff wipes. Jedi Consular when he comes in on backup regenerates 90% protection for republic allies. The rotating taunt buffs from Mace and Plo Koon make it impossible to have a steady target. Plus Plo Koon gives extra buffs to everybody and tm, which speeds Mace's ship right into it's first turn.
Full Republic crew is sick... But so is Biggs under AA.
I have all 6 Republic ships in my fleet. Consistently place top ten, but I am pretty sure I am the only person in the top 10 NOT running Biggs's ship.
