Ghost Bomber

By Ben Hesketh, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Ran a Ghost as a bomber last night.

Hera + Sabine Wren + Bombardier + Ion Bombs + Extra munitions. Along with the almost mandatory Auto turret and Acc comp and flechette torp

Played against a swarm andd it went really well.

As long as you are confident of your flying, using the 2 range of the bombardier you can almost guarantee having a swarm in the sweet spot.

Thoughts?

I want to try this.

I thought to put chopper crew and drop a conner net after a 5k. sounds like fun

What did you run as support ships? I had a similar 'casual' build in mind but using Proximity Mines, Electronic Baffle, Experimental Interface, and a docked shuttle. Being able to 5K+Shuttle Launch+Baffle+Action (TL)+EI to drop Proximity Mines. The idea would be for the shuttle to Ion a target to float right over the mines if it didn't land directly on something. Flechette torps can fire out of the back to help lock down that target.

Way too many points to be any type of seriousness, but seemed like it was worth a casual game.
