JS: just make reactor optimization the 135 and give them some other skill earlier on. reactor optimization skill is pretty awful at the low levels. Maybe we could have them make drones as was suggested before.

Kenu mentioned this as a possiblity in the thread about L135 Affiliation skills. I think it's a good idea and would help the JT with her "redundant" problem.
If this were done, IMO it would benefit the class by giving the effects of max reactor opt at L135 as a 1 level skill, in that the JT would keep something she's known for, just get it much later, while giving her a free slot for a new L7 support skill.
I'd add my [url="https://forum.enb-emulator.com/index.php?/topic/6533-dispel/page__hl__dispel__fromsearch__1"]dispel[/url] proposal as a line of devices to improve the class. (The JE Only Rallying Cry device, was the inspiriation for this idea)
This would leave the JT with one skill slot free to use. What would the other players choose to put in such a space?
I'd suggest that a new and unique L7 combat support skill, something not seen before, that groups want a JT around, but is also useful in solo play.
