3 points, deals one damage and a stress token to every ship at range one.

Isn't the Thermal Detonator a hand grenade? But somehow more explosive than a Seismic Charge?

Meh. It's a good card. 1 point for the stress ability is pretty neat.

It can be a remote explosive. Several canon sources for this.

They look like hand grenades, but how explosive they are varies from one source to the next. In many of the video games, they're pretty worthless, but in Shadows of the Empire one of them vaporized a whole floor or more of Xizor's palace, causing it to collapse.

My guess is the upgrade/token represents a whole bunch of these deployed in a tight cluster.

They are suppose to be mini nukes, essentially. But why you would use them over ship grade ordnance, if beyond me. Unless of course it's the hand grenades bigger brother.

Why do you think Jabba was scared of one in ROTJ?

It won't save you from our defender overlords.

It's a really awesome grenade...

Damage AND control?

WITCHCRAFT!

Only Defenders are capable of such shenanigans!

Conner nets, baby

Only problem here (apart from the awkward point) is that hitting your own bomb sucks

See, you lop a damage off of 9 health deathy and I barely care. On Miranda she can just regen on the same turn. I've blown myself up to get more significant damage on blocked enemies all the time. Hell ive dome it twice today; even intentionally killed my own Biggs!

But STRESS? Not with those dials (and not when deathy can seismic roll into kturns while packing AC)

Also inb4 buffing soontir

Yeah everyone in the throne room seemed pretty stressed.

I am imagining them being a cloud of bombs that goes off at once.

Damaging like a cluster mine, but stressful like the cloud-of-debris from, say, a flechette torpedo (or heck, a debris cloud) is.

Actually a pretty neat marrying of theme and mechanics.

TIE Bombers were always capable of being loaded with Thermal Detonators in the EU.

In fact, it could carry 64 of them, while it could only carry 4 Proton Bombs.

This leads one to the conclusion that you are in fact carpet bombing with a large number of Detonators, rather than dropping a single grenade.

That makes much more sense, I never knew that.

Funny how a handheld grenade does more than a bomb. At least it is priced accordingly at 3 points.

However a dozen or so does make more sense I would suspect the blast be a little more erratic and not uniform. Maybe detonating out to range 2 but having ships in the blast radius roll a red die.

But this works good enough too. Still I don't know if we can ever trust EU after it has been JJified.

1 can be a pain, but if you can get 3 or 4 of these off on any ship...Regardless of the damage, its going to take a while to clear 3 or 4 stress.

Could you ever trust the EU?

Yeah, for all intents and purposes, this is a flechette bomb.

Kinda wishing the card had been named "bucket of thermal detonators" now.

"Captain, you may drop the bucket when ready."

More fun for DEATHRAIN, EMMON, and SABINE.... lovely.

They are "dropped upon reveal" right?

That's my kind of scum!
