Does the Gunboat have the SLAM action?

Yes, yes it does.

At long last, our suffering can end.

Rest in peace, 264-page thread.

Yes, they announced that in the report. Maybe not built-in, but it 'introduces the SLAM action to the Empire', so...it has it somehow.

Someone thankfully posted pics on reddit, it has the slam action on the base token and some new action that looks like a missile with 2 arrows circling around it

Don't be daft. Now we can talk about squd builds and tactics!

No its different, though the phantom 2 has co-ordinate and the scum looks to have tokens for jam.

I will add, it is my birthday.

Thank you FFG.

GUNBOAT!!!!

It sounds an awful lot like they've just merged the Gunboat and the Missile Boat together, and I do believe that pisses me off...

To all you who have kept the faith and dream alive: congratulations, you magnificent bastards!

Hah, it has jamming tokens.

Nice.

Forget squad builds, I'm going to create a narrative campaign for my kids, they can fly gunboats and inspect containers and look for illicits and pirates and rebel scum and deserters!!! It's going to be amazing

Well then...they already managed to **** it up and make me mad...

Oh, behave. We were never going to get the missile boat, too, so this just combines them into one ship. That's fine.

It's not the Jam action, is it?

Why not? We've had more similar ships get separate releases in this game.

I don't think it's fine at all...

At the very least, it could have been a title.

Did anyone notice after the Kimoglia and Phantom II were announced, there was a brief pause before they brought up the next slide... well played FFG, well played!

Well, he gave it a bit of a windup.

'And next...the most requested ship on our forums, on reddit...'
...at which point, yeah, we all knew what he was talking about.

Then he even mentioned the thread, as if they really do read the forums!

Gunboat!

It has a Reload Action

Yeah, they straight up just made the Missile Boat, and then gave it the Gunboat model to shut up the Gunboat people...

Okay so it was pointed out to me the Gunboat pack comes with two tokens that have the Jam symbol on them, it comes with a Jamming Beam and some other kind of cannon (Linked ---?); anyone find clear images yet of the pack spread? I can't quite make out what Assault Configuration does, or the PS7 pilot's ability (or name, but that's not as important)

SLAM, jam tokens, it's too much for my heart! *faints*
