Still learning this game. I have come across two ships so far with turrets. The Y-Wing and the HWK-290 can equip turrets. I have not been able to find an Imperial craft with this ability.

I thought the Lamda had one...but apparently not. So are there any please? Thanks!

No, none right now, but the new ship coming out in Wave 5 will have one.

Likewise the rebels so far lack a ship that can drop bombs.

To clarify, the Decimator does not have a turret, it has a 360 arc.

Or, more specifically, like the falcon it has a "turret primary weapon" which means that while it has a normal firing arc, the primary weapon can select targets outside of its firing arc (in a manner worded identical to the wording of the turret upgrade cards).

To clarify, the Decimator does not have a turret, it has a 360 arc.

It can't equip a turret upgrade, like the Y-Wing can. But a 360 deg arc of fire is pretty much by definition a turret.

The closest thing Imperials have (so far) is the Firespray, with a forward and rear facing firing arc.

It's not 360, and it takes skill to use, but it's pretty awesome.

Well, yes, but it's not the upgrade slot and might cause confusion. Turret primary has range 1-3 and all the normal modifiers, the two available turret upgrades are range 1-2 and ignore range for modification.

And at the moment the only ships with that upgrade slot are y-wings and hwks.

Thanks everyone! So far loving this game. Most memorable match was taking down that rebel smuggler criminal Han in his fully outfitted YT-1300 and his rebel escorts (X and B wings). I had a pair of Royal Guard interceptors and three (Dark Curse, Backstabber, and Winged Gundark) Tie/LNs. Close fight.

Likewise it could also be said that the Imperials lack droids.

Talking about Imperial Turrets, I'd actually like for them to come out with a Death Star set of turbolaser turrets, with a mission for doing an epic (>100pnts) EpIV battle, which includes all the characters that were there.

Of course, we don't really need to wait. There are already home brew mission rules and 3rd party miniatures out there.

Now are there any Imperial ships that can equip a turret? Also, the Decimator is the only Imperial 360* ship, right?

We do, she is called Juno Eclipse.

K-wing?

Also, thanks to Most Wanted, Y-Wings have access to bombs (and the upgrade itself is not Scum only, thankfully).

Admittedly that wasn't the case back in mid-2014 when that was posted, it is true.

If the Jumpmaster 5000 were an Imperial ship it would still not be able to equip turrets.

Are we now highjacking other threads to further our agenda?

No imperials apparently arnt allowed turrets, hopefully the tie special forces ship will change that.

No. The TIE Aggressor will. The TIE/sf will just be an aux firing arc.

That Imperials lack turrets- completely, it really... It really bothers me. It's totally unfair, dude.

i doubt that, it would be more like a small firespray because it's side shots are blocked by the solar panels

What is it with all the thread-romancy going on at the moment?!

In a world...

Where you can rotate your ship.

yup. I'm sorely tempted to necro one myself!

Threadromancy is not to be taken lightly.

There's no new news why not bring back the dead?
