For example:
Melee Tank 3pc set: Grants ability Enfeeble (or other similar style damage reduction ability) at varying ranks based on # of equipped items. Rank 1, 2, 3 etc.

DPS +damage: Your next 3 single target attacks strike in a cone (45 second CD) (polearm anyone?)

Generic: Razor cat snare resist/immunity. (snares aren't fun, use your preferred 5pc and get the razor cat immunity as well!)

Generic: Shield, similar to Jedi Guardian/BH Shield/Last stand, just a defensive that can be used, regardless of the class you're running, allowing for additional build diversity

Entertainer: Grants buff "Stupid Clankers": Buffs you provide are better than the entertainer bots

i'll add more if i think of something to add but this is the general idea, give flexibility rather than % increases that will continue the snowball of stat increases/buff stacking and give options to be able to play different builds and have the abilities that everyone has come to know and love (or similar abilities).

Grenadier Role

Should be matched with the current trader jewelry sets to make 6 / 7 / 8 piece bonuses

Starting with Weaponsmith, since it's KNOWN that you need 5 more experimentation points to hit 18 points of experimentation (with everything else) and hard cap all of the dual line items.

Left Earring +1 experimentation / +1 assembly / +1 amazing success roll
Right Earring +1 experimentation / +1 assembly / +1 amazing success roll
Rebreather +1 experimentation / +1 assembly / +1 amazing success roll

6 piece set bonus (adding to what exists on the 5 piece bonus)
+2 amazing success roll
+50 luck

7 piece set bonus (adding to what exists on the 6 piece bonus)
+1 experimentation
+2 amazing success roll
+50 luck

8 piece set bonus (adding to what exists on the 7 piece bonus)
+1 experimentation
+2 amazing success roll
+50 luck

You can use that as a template for all of the other...however the goal is to get another point of experimentation (+10 experimentation) beyond what the 5 piece set gives you.
So the jewelery sets would go from +25 (current 5 piece total) to +30 (new proposed 8 piece total)

That keeps all the new 3 piece sets "equal" on their face....but....maybe not in effectiveness

The shipwright 3 piece set would need to look different. I'd honestly just worry about the experimentation. Rather than make Left earring for Engines/Chassis/Weapons (similar to how the existing jewelry is setup) you would need to have all 7 types on each piece, otherwise NEEDING to complete the set for the full bonus isn't as much of a priority.
So each earring would be +1 to all 7 experimentation for SW, the rebreather would need to be +1 for all 7. Then the 7 piece and 8 piece bonuses to round out the +5 (for +30 total).

(That's a lot of potential for bad RNG if the drops are going to be the actual jewelry instead of tokens to buy the jewelry. are the drops going to be tokens?)

Squad Leader Set - Make the lvl87 trooper a lvl90 with a pet bar like beastmaster, generic skills except one slot that is changeable, choice of heal/debuff/big hit/taunt. Chance to spawn lvl87 troopers for 30seconds like the smuggler call a friend ability.

Teras Kasi set - Meditate as it was pre-cu. Powerboost for +500 con and a bonus to hate generation for 10 mins, Force of will to come back from being incapped. A "Chi" meter much like commando kill meter. Let it build up for a defence buff, cash it in for a damage buff.

Commando Set - A supply drop skill, instead of tacs/stims, the old consumable mando heavy weapons, big big damage low low accuracy, so u cant pvp 1 shot people. Done as a supply drop to easier balance than allowing crafting

Medic Set - A 2 min cooldown ability that acts like killing spree except for your flash heal, heals up to 4 targets in range, or 1 target 4 times, lasts 15 seconds, 10% chance for crit heals

Smuggler Set - Dual weild pistols, off hand gets reduced damage for balance, off the cuff can apply to your class heal, +100 luck
