Yesterday we started to play again the GR 75 Campaign, not a bad one. This time I am Imperial, and suffered badly in the hands of this upgrade. I was sure that the GR 75 will move forward...but it turned left. So range 1 and not 2... Better to Shoot, yeah, but after defending the Transport could trigger this nasty upgrade, roll two dice, eat Crits and Hits, no evade. Mauler , 1 Hullremaining, Academy two Hulls remaining and a scratchles Bomber. Should I fire? Yes, of course.

So Mauler rolled four dice, 3 Hull Hits !!!. Then Cluster Bombs were launched. Mauler and Academy KABOOOOM. Two more hits against the GR 75, Impact misiles. But the Bomber was alone, and scorting Y ioniced him and out of play. Good upgrade card, I think

I wrote a scenario that was about a CR-90 trying to run a blockade. Put the table 3x6 long ways. Have the CR-90 and support ships trying to escape the far table edge. Raider and other ships would come on at the 2nd half on either side. I wrote it with specific lists in mind. I went for 2 Tie Punishers loaded with Cluster Bombs to try to block off the escape. I never got to try it out, though. I liked the idea. I loaded CR-90 with things to make it go fast and loaded the Raider with Ion stuff. It looked fun...

So is Cluster Bombs another one of those 'better in epic' upgrades? And if that is the case, does it still need a lower points cost?

No. It is Epic only, Huge Ship "Cargo" upgrade. It is included in the Gozanti. Only for Huges. Use and discard, like a 360 degree claymore bomb

Ohhhhh!!!!! I forgot about those. Yeah, that can be good if you are expecting to get swarmed. Wow....never thought of those.

Be sure not to confuse Cluster Bombs and Cluster Mines.
