Bomb Loadout (Casual/HotAC)

By Ulf Beorstruk, in X-Wing

Advanced sensor bewing isnt any more maneuverable than a sabine piloted ywing (same could applyt to a bwing of course). You dont need advanced sensors when you can just take a pilot ability that lets you barrel roll or boost before your maneuver. And at the cost of some more cp you can have wngine and vectored thrusters on the ywing o be able to ptl into whichever you didnt do with the ability

....or take Jake Farrell so you can focus, and still get to use Sabine next turn- since you cant use her ability if she is stressed (free action). The Ywing with both of those pilot abilities becomes insanely good at repositioning!

If you do a green maneuver you dont end up stressed anyway

So yes and no. So PTL gives you a stress on turn 1, after barreling and boosting or just one and another action.

And if you have advanced sensors you can do said things before your maneiver which will get rid of stress. So on turn 2 you can do 2 more actions and possibly a green to allow you to do it again the next turn.

But you only did 2 actions and move total, and you have to lock yourself into green moves (only 2 on a ywing)...and both or at least one is a repostioioning one, so means only 1 can be a dice mod one.

In my scenario- where you have Sabine and Jake Farrell (yes Astec it is higher level- but at that pont it isnt reall broken), you can do many actions (about 4 plus droppng a bomb for a non-action maneuver).

So you start with Sabine, (then you can drop your bomb), or drop it before using Sabine, and then Sabine) and then if you wish since Sabien is an action you can PTL then and there- and take another action. then you do your move (if you are doing PTL then you need to do green, so only 2 on a Ywing), and then you can do your actual action. If any of those actions was a focus then you can pop Jake Farrell too. So a possible 4 actions (two repositions, a focus, and a TL or something: Marksmanship, expose, etc,- likely a TL though).

Then experimental interface to do another action as well if required (and you have the actions to able to do it!!)

I know how normal PTL works. I was talking about with sabine's ability. As long as you do green maneuvers you're never stressed. You trigger her ability, PTL off of that for a second action, get a stress, do the move, stress goes away, you get your normal action for 3 in one round.

I may add Jake's ability later as well to get the fourth action, but it's not needed to get 3 actions for no stresss.

I am running a similar build with a Y Wing now...don't forget about R2 Astromech. He's an auto-include for my y-wings in HotAC.

I took it as that you did know how it worked, I jus explained a trick to do it all, in case you didnt realize it.

And sometimes you arent in range to PTL to get the target lock off of Sabine's initial action, and dont want to focus then if you have Jake and wont benefit from his bonus move, and need to after you've done your move. Or what about if you need to hard turn, those are all White if you dont take R2 astro., since there are other good droids. So sometimes you cant just clear the stress. I've gone with just taking Hobbie since I constantly lock on people with one of my actions so I clear the stress regardless of White or green or whatever. And still do a bunch of actions.
