Do we have your attention, X-Wing™ fans?"
YES!!!
I'm an X-Wing fan, I fail to see how this is going to help that ship.
Havoc Bomber preview up

And here they are in force. Ignoring that there are 2 Punisher fixes in the package.
You don't understand.
I just wanted to play dogfights in space - not some lame bombing simulator.
New expansion is another kick in the groin of nimble fighters - infinite bombs? You got to be kidding me.
I am not happy when instead of agile, true dogfigther in the form of TIE Interceptor I will have to play some brick known as TIE Punisher, just to be competitive.

Said no one ever
Calling it now: there will be an Imperial-only upgrade in the future that gives aces a way to mitigate damage from bombs.

Nym will be my new wingman for Dash.
That being said, this expansion feeds does nothing to stave off the pro-Scum conspiracy. (slow clap)

If this game ever makes Punishers competitive; I'm not sure what planet ending event occurs soon after...this is an impossibility my friends.
Unless, there is a Stolen Punisher Title on the horizon.

Cycles take place and we are nearing an end of Scum and Rebels be the top dogs. Something good will happen for imps soon.

No idea about Imps. I am not a doom and gloom so maybe Ep 8 ships will bring another lockdown....
You know what's coming to save the Empire...

This is the continuation of the designers drive to remove agile dogfighters from the game. It sucks, but hey, if you set up your squad for the local tourney, this will be a great ship to get into your squad.....between endless bombs, asteroids and debris, there will be no place for a low HP fighter.

Your optimism in this dark time is appreciated.
^ as is your Imperial Reinforcements concept.
As excited as i am about Deathrain with ENDLESS BOMBS ON REVEAL, im a bit worried about Minefield Mapper....
Yeah, you cant place them right in someones face, but you can easily gate paths and just utterly spam the board. 3 punishers with dual mines/EM and the mapper is literally TWELVE sets of bombs that just happen automatically!
Ones one of those things you really need to practice rather than theorycraft. I can see it either being really lame and never used, or outright insane. Only saving grace is thank GOD its a sensor, so the kwing cant touch it. Also, Bomblet Generator doesnt really help the Kwing much since its on reveal, so no slam shenanigans
Scurrg aside, Punisher is in love with this wave. Unguided Missiles + Bomblet Generator (or Minefield Mapper + bomb of choice). About time this lousy POS excuse for a "heavy bomber" got some love.
I don't care about power levels or whatever -- this ship just looks like tons fun to fly!
No one's said it, so I'm gonna say it. Havoc with Unhinged! Green T-Rolls!
so Y cant rebel Ys use the Bomblet generator? using the "Bomb load out" card... nevermind.. figured it out

No one's said it because Havoc doesn't let you equip non-unique droids
The troll option is Nym+title+Genius+Bomblet Generator+VI.

50 points is a lot for a 1 agility ship with no regen or biggs protecting it.

I"m not convinced about Generic Punisher (although Minefield Mapper may allow him to see play to keep up with Rebels) but Deathrain is now an interesting pick. Free barrel rolls every round with potential danger zones at the back and at the front and a boost action to top it off? Seems like a new Imperial ace in the making.

Sabine's Punisher
I loved Deathrain before, now he will be even better.

Give him Advanced Sensors and he can also boost before he does it.
