Just seeking opinions,

If there is a bomb on the board during the combat phase, should a ship be able to shoot at the bomb.

I would give the bomb one auto evade and 2 green dice.

No.

Because Lord knows bombs are too popular and effective right now.

I'm really neutral, I do use a lot of boom-booms. :-) It would be interesting.

Nullifying an already challenging tool to use is not even remotely good for the game.

Proper bomb placement emphasizes well thought out flying more than many other mechanics or upgrades in the whole game

NO!

That's impossible, even for a computer.

opinion: **** no

opinion: there should be a rule to shoot PWTs on the table

I'd give them 1 hull and no green dice and any damage dealt to them (including overkill) is also dealt to the ship

Well That's That. Fair enough. On to the next thread. :-)

No.

It's not impossible; I used to bullseye Womp Rats in my T-16 back home; they're not much bigger than a proton bomb.

Bombs are way to small. If your going to allow it then you have to give them 5 or 6 green dice at mimimum

No but Conner Nets should have been able to fire forwards to begin with.

In Universe, Conner Nets fire out of torpedo/missile launchers, not bomb bays.

For a one use wonder, it'd pretty much make bombs non-playable. Otherwise you get into the debate if you can shoot down missiles too.

Yeah, but only at range 1 and you get 2 stress tokens and the bomb detonates twice as if the firing ship triggered it.

do you remember when conner nets were forward firing?

Deathrain and only Deathrain.

Not really, I mean you can't blow up other obstacles and bombs do go away either after another ship moves on them or at the end of the activation phase.

Besides you won't be able to shot at bombs that detonate at the end of the activation phase because they will blow up before you can shoot at them. As for other ones the ones that require an action to deploy, well lets just say people that are good with bombs tend to deploy them to where you will cross them and detonate so being able to shoot at bombs won't help you there.

So shooting at bombs, even if it were allowed it wouldn't work.
