Bomb Load Out

By kalstrai, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hey,

This might be a dumb question, or obvious, but is "Bomb Load Out" restricted to Y-Wing's ? The reason I ask is because it doesn't show up as an option for a StarViper on http://xwing-builder.co.uk/ . I think Bombing StarVipers would be interesting :) Just want to make sure it's a legal upgrade before I go Ahead and loud them up :)

Thanks all great and powerful forum community!

John!

Yes, it's restricted to y-wings.
It is also limited, meaning that it's only one Bomb per Y.

That makes me kinda sad. Having bombs on a super agile fighter would be all kinds of funny :) I dunno, when it comes to ordnance, I really feel bombs outweigh missiles and torps for utility since you're not sacrificing an action or a primary (or secondary) weapon shot to fire them.

Thanks for the quick response. Have to find another use for those 4 points :)

Eh, Extra Munitions fixes that oversight.

'Cept it restricts it to 2 of the same bomb.

Have you tried flying aggressors? Fastest bomb carrying ships currently in the game.

oh haha, yeah I guess they are, hey? Large base though. I think it'd be hilarious to have a fast small base bomber. The Y-Wing is the closest that Scum have with bomb load out. With unhinged, Kavil and a turret it's still pretty funny if you can get a decent bomb shot off then do a backwards turret shot as well. When extra ordnance comes out that's two bombs. 4 points for 2 seismic charges is a pretty good use of points i think. 10 for protons is too much haha. I guess what I'd like is a K-wing equivalent ship for SCUM. But I doubt FFG will do that, the factions are pretty asymmetric when it comes to there faction design.

I thought proton bombs on a Y with EM would cost 7, not 10.

You are correct.

Scum is getting the Rithlak (no idea how to spell it) The Cthulu Fighter Bomber which I'm pretty sure has a bomb slot. Should be the rough equivalent to the K wing

What, the Kihraxz? Supposed to be the Scum's X-Wing, more than anything.

You are correct sir. The Cuthulu fighter is indeed a fighter only. No bomb bay reported as yet. My apologies.
I was thinking of the K-wing.
