A friend stated that if it didn't fire 4 torpedoes at once it was stupid, and then I realized that being able to shoot 2 torpedoes on one target lock would be A: a small boost to said weapon and B: similar in scope to current y-wing tactics, thus easy to grasp.

And then I hit the motherload.

What if you could drop 2 bombs at once, from each side of the base?

If a proximity token is placed on a proximity token, which token detonates first? Do they detonate?

That's a good question. I wasn't thinking of dropping two bombs on one side though. This could still happen with Emon, but that's an interesting question.

And a 16 dice Range 3 attack isn't?

He was being hyperbolic, but it is.

They both follow the rules for proximity mines. (I am assuming you meant proximity mine tokens). If they are exactly, 100% fully overlapping each other then they will both detonate whenever a ship or it's maneuver template overlaps them. If they are not perfectly aligned then it is vaguely possible for a ship to overlap one of them and not the other only triggering that one.
