Sabine Wren (Crew) on ahuge ship

By dvorm, in X-Wing Rules Questions

With Sabine Wren, a huge ship gains a bomb upgrade slot and can drop a bomb? If the ship also has ordnance tubes, it may equip Extra Munitions to use the bomb twice?

Huge ships can't take normal modifications, so you can't put Extra Muntions on it.

Modifications

Huge ships can equip only modifications that are labeled “Huge Ship only.”

Extra Munitions is not a modification.

I certainly dont see a problem with what you are proposing, though for 11 - 14 points to drop 2 bombs with 1 additional damage effect seems expensive.

though my Epic experience is extremely limited so maybe its worth it

Extra Munitions is not a modification.

I was looking at the icon next to the points and for some reason had it my head that was the modification icon...

So that means yeah you could get 2 bombs with the combo you list.

Just to make sure: Huge ships reveal a maneuver and they have rear guides to place the template?

Yes, all that works. And might be an interesting way to deter enemy ships from getting into your blind spot.

Just keep in mind that a huge ship's 1 straight is not long enough to get it beyond Range 1 of a bomb it drops.

Add Bombardier as a second crew member to push the bomb out to Range 2?

This feels like an episode of Mythbuster.

Can it be done? Yes. Is it a good idea to strap bombs to the slowest, least manoeuverable ship in any fleet at an exorbitant cost (not to mention losing a hardpoint)? No.

(Or if you want bombs that badly, cluster bombs seem like a better, cheaper alternative)

They're also the ships with the largest blind spot directly behind them, and since they can't get out of the way easily a bomb makes some sense. Not saying it's the best use of the points but I could see why someone might do it.

Ordnance tubes for extra munitions is probably not a good idea. Placing Sabine on a huge ship might keep her alive long enough for all other ships to use their bombs.

For the points you are paying, you could just have an extra Z-95 mill about near the rear of the ship and shoot at anyone that heads that way. More reliable than most bombs.

I swear that artwork makes sabine look like a guy. Sad, b/c sabine is awesome.

Yeah not super impressed with some of the artwork for the Ghost. The model looks killer, and the ship cards look fine, but the ones with the characters tend to be kinda meh or worse.

It's like they made them look like cartoon characters, but even more cartoony.

Hera, Sabine, and Zeb look great. It's the 2 male humans that have problems.

Ezra looks fugly now, but that's probably how Aladin would look outside of a Disney cartoon. Kanan's face looks too large for his head.
