Actually the ghost cant fire seismic torps out the back.
The seismic torp isnt an attack, its an action that specifically mentions the primary arc. Ghost special arc says "may perform secondary weapon attacks with [torpedo] icons out of the special firing arc" or atleast mentioning attacks.
Though i could see it getting a minor errata to allow the ghost to do it, since its the ONLY ship with that issue.
Not only. Nera Dantels has same issue with seismic torps.
less than you'd think
ARCs really like obstacles, because they're very good at abusing them by snaking around them while bringing auxiliaries to bear while the enemy gets a difficult time following or avoiding them
seismics on Thane is really only paying points to negate one of the ARC's greatest strengths, which really only makes sense to do against Dash
Indeed. I found myself thinking the reverse, that it'd go well on T-65s - T-65 X-wings with Targeting Astromechs are not bad in a joust (which is good because that's pretty much all they can do!), and seismic torpedoes let them "clear space" to joust in.
Just.
The absolute best sound effect into the entire star wars saga.
For 2 points they are worth it to make your opponent anxious about flying near an obstacle.
And who doesn't like guaranteed damage.

seismic torpedoes, apparently
Not even close to guaranteed damage.
Ive seen it go off and tag 4 ships and do no damage.
Flipside though if it did automatically do a damage it would be insanely op at 2pts lol.
I used them to clear a path for Miranda, so she would be able to slam the following turn and get back into the fight. I had slammed in front of the asteroid to get out of range of a homing missile that had Miranda's name all over it. I ended up losing a shield to them, but that was better than what I would have lost to a homing missile. I was running my two bombing K-wings list and had dropped the proximity mine, which rarely gets used, and tried them out. I think the seismic torps will be sticking around in this list for a while. They are a nice insurance policy for only 2 points.
I hate the range restriction on these things.

But that can be used to your advantage if you want to range a rock somewhere.
Seismic torps...it's all fun and games until your pilot almost kills themselves and fails to damage the nearby enemy ship
