G-1A: Title to add Bomb Slot

By Hexdot, in X-Wing

Probably a silly idea. When I first saw a G-1A I imagined this carrying bombs. Fat and quite bulky ship. No idea about his role in the EU. Of course this is a heavy starfighter and not a bomber but... G-1A plus Bombs... I like the concept.

So many new options added to custom your ships that one Title to add one Bomb Slot was tempting me. Not very good...with no Torp Slot no EM. So definitely not broken or OP. I love the "Mist Hunter" Title. Much better than this experiment.

Quite expensive to play 100/6. But interesting during scenario play. When the designer choose a wide array of ships and not only Tier 1-2.

Only tested this twice. First play asteroid based AA Turrets destroyed the ship early in the game. During the last playtest a Conner Net caught Echo after decloacking and next turn finished him/her.

TITLE: G-1B Fighter/Bomber. G-1A only. Cost 1. Add one Bomb Slot.

Or just make Sabine factionless!! :)

(haha, not likely)

But seriously, despite still not liking the design of the ship, I have become fond of flying it - and have felt myself in the exact same position of wishing their was a bomb option.

I'll settle for that compromise!

And rockets and door guns.

It really should be the Scum Hind-D.

I really like the idea of making the G-1A a more versatile ship that can do some fun things. I'm all for adding a bomb slot. Same with door gunners or any other cool tricks people can think of.

Not to hijack the thread, but before the Quadjumper came out, I made a homebrew ability for the ship, an improvement on the Misthunter Title. Shooting the tractor beam by itself is pretty garbage, and I realized that the trick was to be able to add it to a regular attack, like the Defend D title. My version to give a similar functionality was adding this to the Mist Hunter title:

Action: Perform an attack with your “Tractor Beam” Upgrade card. You may not perform another attack during this phase.

This would allow you to then shoot with your regular gun during the Combat Phase. If you had Fire Control System it would also give you a target lock to use for your primary attack.
