big badabom! let's blow up some green dice! (Sabine)

And just because someone hasn't mentioned it, the GR75 and CR90 can take bombs now too, granted they aren't as a good on the small and large ships.

I don't see how this is so?

The card give you torpedoes and missiles not bombs?

The Sabine crew card gives whichever ship she is added to a Bomb slot. So any Rebel ship with a crew slot, including the GR75 and CR90, gains the bomb upgrade. Or in other words the following Rebel ships can take bombs:

Y-wing (with bomb loadout)

YT-1300

B-wing (With E2 mod)

HWK-290

YT-2400

K-wing (Can now take 3 bombs with Sabine)

VCX-100

Attack Shuttle

GR75

CR90

That opens up loads of new options for the Rebels all the while the Empire can use bombs on:

Tie Bombers

Firespray

Decimator

Tie Punisher

And the scum can use bombs on:

Y-wing (bomb loadout)

Firespray

Aggressor

I'm fixated on the idea of bomb+turret. Put somebody on your six, Conner Net them, then pour in two rounds of Range 1 fire.

If the YTs had a torpedo slot rather than a missile slot, Sabine and Extra Munitions would be vicious.

and we will therefore thank FFG that no one was dumb enough to give YT-1300s more reason to see play

But it would've been sprinkles on top of the ice cream! Think of the children!

Anyone else find it funny that the Rebels now have more ships with bombing option than the Empire?

Funny how? Huh???? No, I wanna know, Funny how?

True indeed, and lets be honest here - the warden is hands down the best bomber, and has just got a whole lot better.

Funny in the most ironic way. I kinda had hoped that Sabine would be limited to the VCX, now my Imperial ships have even more to be worried about.

over the course of Wave 7, I've become quite fond of

Miranda (TLT, c3po, seismic + seismic/extra) [42]

imo, c3po is too important to cut out (so much damage cancel with her ability), but you can fit in another ship for Sabine just fine

the 35 point Warden + Miranda leave 23 points, or 17 if you also give the Warden TLT. That's an easy a-wing.

Expensive Wardens are stupidly frail, but possibly worth trying out (though I will probably end up jettisoning conners + A-slam as the frailer Warden is almost as expensive as miranda if using TLTs)

I've seen some interesting Miranda builds using Dash rendar crew instead of 3p0. Might be worth trying

Guys, I have to run this. I don't even care.

Love the ability. Hate the faction.

Imperials were the bombers to start and they havn't been getting anything to make them better. Love Emon, and fly him often. Love Sabine, not sure where I'll put her but I'll be bombing!

So Bombardier a Bounty Hunter in the Andrasta.

Firesprays aren't good bombers, Emmon and Andrasta are powerful enough to make bombs "work". I'll throw a seismic on one if I have 2pts left over but, especially on the imperial end, they need their crew for damage or control since the basic and Krassis lack EPTs.

I was really hoping for some imperial-specific bomber upgrades too, Rakky. Bit perplexed as to why rebels got them instead. It looks like we will both be firing up the K-wings to get our bomber fixes! At this point, my excitement for a bomber boost far outweighs my dissapointment over the rebels getting the nod again.

honestly, I expect it's a quality thing

not kidding when I say quantity has a quality all of its own, the Scimitar costs as much as a naked Rebel Operative

it's the imperial mainstay and the hallmark of the TIE series after all, apart from the Mary Sue Defender (though obviously not in this game :P)

the punisher does suffer unduely, but that's why we have Deathrain

Punisher still has AS+Boost+reveal bombs, which does give it a bit of an edge over most Reb bombers
