I was reading the FAQs and came across this:
A ship may drop only one bomb per round.
Does this mean that we are getting a ship/upgrade that allows 2+bombs to be equipped?

Not yet. They are just covering their bases, just in case.
And before someone brings it up incorrectly, the y-wing modification coming out in Most Wanted is limited, meaning you can only convert 1 of the ship's torpedo slots to bomb slots.
Could still be a two bomb carrier in Scum tho. We don't know what the Firespray title does, and another upgrade in the Most Wanted could futz with loadouts.

The Andrasta title definitely says "Your upgrade bar gains an additional..." something icon. So, definitely possible.

Huh... I'd missed those connecting details. I already thought that the FAQ update seemed to be geared towards the upcoming Scum release... this could be "interesting".
I would like to see FFG eventually release Aces 2 kits for Imps and Rebs. The Imperial Aces 2 could include a TIE bomber with a new bomb load out card specifically for the bomber that allows you to replace missiles or torpedoes and is not a limited upgrade. I think its goofy that TIE bombers can only pack a single bomb.

They almost certainly will, though I am betting they'll go with a different naming scheme. repacking ships with different schemes and more cards is a great way to expand without diluting.
Interesting speculation with the Andrasta, but it was never really known as a bomber. It literally could be anything, but my guess is anorther Illicit upgrade, EPT, cannon or crew.
As for TIE Bombers I too am a bit sad with them. Without upgrades they feell like a budget Imperial Y-Wing.

I would assume a crew member. I was thinking an illicit upgrade maybe, but the card clearly doesn't say Scum only. Not to say that the imperial Firespray won't get illicit, but they have been pretty clear it's for the new faction only. A second cannon is almost superfluous, and the Ig2000 is getting that. EPT seems unlikely, too, because that's what makes the A wing unique, so I would guess a second crew seat. Not to mention that a second illicit might make it popular on New Boba, and thematically there print won't be a reason to give him the Andrasta over the Firespray.
That or another missile slot, which... actually would be interesting. Two crew on the Firespray would be pretty dang nifty though~ it's really making me curious about what Emon's ability is. :3~
If the spray don't get a second bomb bay - then Tie Bombers will get it (in a future release).
Why else FFG should invest time and develop rule clarifications for multiple bombs??
