last worlds I saw both sabine bombing Miranda and Missile Miranda. I was curious which ones people prefer and why. (Yes I realize Paul Heaver just won with a bombing Miranda but I find myself drawn more to the homing missile version every time I run her.) Just wanted to hear peoples thoughts?
Which Miranda
both
It's expensive, but Miranda with TLT, Missiles and Bombs can take any matchup. The only real debate in my mind is over crew slot and modifications. I've had a lot of success with Sabine and LRS. There is a strong case for Advanced SLAM, C-3PO, RecSpec, Rey and a handful of other upgrades.
I think it will depend on your flying style and the rest of the list. Missiles are a great alpha strike, but they can leave her vulnerable to early damage. I think this works best if you either have Biggs or another end game ship for the opponent to worry about. Bombing Miranda needs to be flown completely differently, you need to be patient and not always go for the engagement.
I am currently flying a loaded Miranda with a loaded R2D2 Poe. Some games I don't get to drop many bombs (especially reveal ones), and some games I'm never in a good position to fire missiles. It's the best of both worlds and it can really get in your opponents head and prevent them from doing a lot of maneuvers.
Obviously if you only have 45 points, it's missiles, if you have 47-48 it's bombs, and if you have 52 it's both. You could also go simple with just TLT and C3P0 for under 40 points.
