Looking to having some fun with Sabine and the thermal detonators so decided to build a bombing run list with ion for control.

The idea is the ion turrets will let me know where my opponent is going making timing and placing the thermal detonators easier, the stress from the thermals helps with that since they will probably want to shake it off and Sabine adds insult to injury with the extra damage hopefully per turn.

I think it could be fun to fly, also i may drop the ion on the k to an autoblaster and get advanced slam for better cluster mine placement.

Thought, comments ?! I'm going to fly it this week and post how it went as well.

You could make the Cluster Mines Prox Mines and have the points for Advanced Slam. Don't really need initiative and I think you'll get more solid play out of Proximity mines. Interesting build, don't know if you have the power to finish stuff with all the ion (and no real damage to shoot with) but let us know how it goes for you.

I don't see a real benefit to Sabine as you aren't using the extra bomb slot, and maybe use those points for a TLT and Bombardier on the K, just to spread stuff out. Or drop the thermals from the Y-wings for Seismic and add Adv SLAM to the K.

I have two suggestions:

1) Detonators, like all bombs as opposed to mines, really benefit from high PS, so I'm not sure this list is well suited to them. Miranda with adv. slam could have a lot of fun with them though

2) Cluster mines are awful - the worst bomb in the game in my opinion. Conner net is much better as far as I can see - with Sabine you're talking two guaranteed damage, no actions and two ion. Brutal.

Ooh, I lied! Three pieces!

3) Adv-slam K-wings are incresibly good bombers, Y-wings are not. Hows about a triple K bomber list to scratch that itch?
