Ooh ooh got it. The new K-Wing action is an alpha strike. Let's you fire your torpedoes at activation.

it does look like it has a missiley / torpedoey sort of shape so that might not be bad call

Unfortunately, I think it has to do with the SLAM (and welcome to the JAM) System, that way your bomber can get within range one of your enemy's guns FASTER. Useless action when ordnance requires heavy action economy to fire.

Assuming we get a SLAM action at all, it could potentially be used to allow low PS ships to get into TL range early - especially if it was coupled with some kind of target lock acquisition mod / ability

True.

I also hope that the K-wing does indeed have a turret slot, if nothing more than to have the new turrets potentially come in a rebel pack and I wont have to shell out for some scum.

Sure, why not?

The K seems to have everything including the kitchen sink bolted onto it

So I put this in another thread, but that is why I think it is a stored action like a Cloak token. You can spend your SLAM token from the previous round to get into range, then acquire your TL. There will probably be an Advanced SLAM upgrade like ACD that allows you to reacquire your SLAM token after firing a missile/torp. For running away and such.

Stop arguing and start wildly speculating

I can do both, thank you very much.
