I just had the most delightful thought. There is no reason you can't stick Sabine on a CR-90, and let her defend the aft.

Or put her on a GR-75 and give that ship a weapon.

Bonus: Put her on an epic ship that is escorted by Y-Wings with Extra Munitions and Bomb loadouts and you get a whole lot of area denial for the Big ships.

I'm not saying it's the best possible competitive loadout.

I am saying it's the best possible way to play this game.

It's definitely a fun idea that should at least be worth trying. You're looking at 4 points minimum for a one-shot weapon. 7 points if you want a Proton Bomb to really cripple an annoying tailgater.

If you really wanted to go nuts, you could put her on a CR-90 with Ordnance Tubes, then use one of those hardpoints for Extra Munitions.

Not sure how likely it is that you'd get two chances to drop a bomb with a CR90, but it'll make folks second-guess whether they really want to move into your aft section.
