The love for K-Wings is flowing already ... 
Is only 1 more point enough for the Heavy Bombers?
Yeah, Redline doesn't pay as much as Rhymer does for his ability. Terrible assumption.
We are likely looking at 21 pts for the base Punisher.
It looks more like 17 when looking at the spoilers and leaks. 21 would make sense but going with the PSkil and point cost pattern the PSkill 2 Punisher is looking at 17 (only 1 more point than the Tie Bomber)
What pattern? What spoilers? Rhymer is the exception. Just because it looks like a TIE Bomber, doesn't mean it will follow the costing pattern of the Bomber.
I am not sure why you would say that there is no love for them. On R1 they still throw 3 dice and are very durable. I mean it was to expect that they would pay for their turret, and at 22 or 21 they would have been a bit better. But i would not say they are overpriced and you can make a lot of different very different lists with them.
Honestly when i saw Miranda at 29 points i hoped that the generic would be at 22 or 21 since Wes Janson is a PS8 at 29 and Rookies are 21. But i guess the turret is still a factor as well as durability...
At one point or the other we might see X-Wings fixed and i would not say that then a KKXXZ would be bad.
Edited by ForceMThe one thing i dont get is the 28 cost on the PS6 if i see correctly. Miranda is 29 and has a great skill. If the skill really confirms to be that other ships can use its focus tokens it is a pretty mediocre one except that he can take a Recon spec of course. But Garvens skill is comparable in power. (It makes sense only for pilots with lower PS and you need a shot but you make 2 focus out of 1 in his case) but he is 26 in comparison.
Also 2 PS less than Doni and in my books a worse pilot ability, but only one point... Sounds odd to me! 26 or 27 should be the cost if the PS 4 would be 25!
Yeah, it is weird. Miranda is pretty crazy.
I want to make a list of K-Wings and Y-Wings just for the name...
I have a list. I call it: KY Jelly Roll
Miranda: ICT, Seismics x2, Recon Specialist
Gold Squadron Y: BTL-A4, ICT, Bomb loadout, Seismic
Porkins: R5-D8, Hull, Expert Handing.

Yeah you are right, following the Pilot Skill and comparing the pilot skill to point cost on other ships of that class there are a lot of things on Wave 7 that don't make any sense. There is a common pattern to pilot skill scaling with point cost in the ships if you take a look at them. But yeah there are some wonky gaps that does make it so you really can't predict the cost of a ship based upon the pilot skill. But some abilities (Rymers) is over costed.
