They stated they didn't want all factions to be the same: just the rebels, they get everything.
With QD reveal, we now need Scum Bomb fix
I really don't feel that "Usable bombs" should be faction specific.
Truth be told, my biggest complaint is that Sabine's +1 damage ability wasn't actually on Bombardier, with a only-one-works restriction, or something. Sabine could've then allowed, I dunno, hook-shots with bombs and a bomb slot to use it with or something.
As is, if you want damage bombs to do good work, it's hard to argue for a 2pt upgrade that literally doubles the firepower of half the options in play against a critical target.
BTW Is Amon now usuable with the Andrasta title now we have the Crane, I always felt a bit iffy using him with Slave-1 just to get the slot for Extra Munitions
