I haven't played since 2019ish, and even then, calculate wasn't even a thing that existed. Since calculate was just a worse focus, and the Republic got Jedi Fighter's, I've just peeped back in every now and then to see if the villain factions have a fighting chance (I only play casually, and only the evil factions)
Hey Joseph, you are right a calculate is a less powerful focus but the ships that use it tend to have ways of making it very efficient, such as network calculations, so it can go a lot further. Also with separatists it tends to be weight of numbers that make the difference.
