The TIE Punisher Gets a Fixlet
Way better title
Better. But fixed? I think deathrain can do it now but not sold on any others.
I think that Minefield Mapper will also be useful on the Punisher as well.

Minefield mapper is ONLY useful on the punisher, IG2000, or the unique Havoc. And none can carry sabine/cad bane
Edited by RakaydosCrew for both Rebel and Scum in Sabine and Cad Bane make bombs crazy for them, but nothing on a similar level for Imperials.
The nice thing is that between the bomblet generator and unguided rockets, you get infinite booms out of both ends, with no need for extra munitions or guidance chips.
What is the damage on a bomblet token, 1 forced? Ion? Stress? Details man the empire wasn't built in a day! ?

It was in the article. Roll 2 dice, suffer hits crits rolled as damage.

It's linked in the article. Bomblets do 2 dice, suffer any damage, w/in range 1.

Crits count as crits? Very nice, thats a beautiful thing for the punisher.
As much as I want to love this, the Empire is still the worst faction for dropping bombs.
Give this to an imperial firespray with andrasta and go pow pow pow all over the board. Efficient prolly not, fun hell yeah. Bombadier crew too, mmm viddles. Does this count as a secondary weapon for Krassis?

That's true. It's also zero points, so it kinda feels like since it is very limited on who can take it, and is super cheap, it could be considered part of a Tie Punisher fix. It would be good on Redline or a generic, although not as good on Deathrain.

B-wing with e/2 mod + Sabine crew + minefield mapper. Muahahahaha!
I think the multi layered fix for the Tie Punisher should include:

Bombs are not secondary weapons for Krassis. I've asked before and it's not.

Also the Mist Hunter with Cad Bane.

Redline's not much of a bomber anyway. Redline's more of a plasma torps cluster missiles guidance chips build, double target locks and all.

Redline is less about Cluster Missiles as he only gets one TL for rerolls, even with FCS. That was due to the new timing chart. Still, Redline can go ahead and get the Generator and have Bombs every turn if he wants.....without spending an action. That's not bad at all.
Deathrain will love Bomblet Generator. Someone in the main thread suggested Advanced Sensors and you can now get a Boost before you drop your free Bomb! Oh, don't forget the free Barrel Roll afterwards!
Even the generics are happy. Use Minefield Mapper to drop mines ahead of the game and then use Unguided Rockets the rest of the game. Oh, everyone will love Unguided Rockets, except Redline, but that's OK.
I happy to see more toys for the punisher but I will wait before claiming that would be "meta" or "broken" (which said always after each wave) !
Remember the U-Wing with infinite loop with Hera ? Remember when people said tie/sf suck ?
Oh, I'm not saying that the Tie Punisher will be "broken", but it will be better. I've got a friend who will be laughing at all the new toys. He's quite good with Tie Punishers.
@Rakaydos I added Extra munitons and saved you 6 points which I put into Seismic Torps in case you need to open a lane for yourself.

add a title that -1 point for each upgrade to a minimum of 0 and then we can call it good.

My list deploys 6 mines turn 0, your only deploys 3.

The "fix" is it now has a niche in the Imperial arsenal. I've not been taking Punishers because TIE Bombers can do everything a Punisher can do but cheaper. With the 0 point Minefield Mapper the Punisher has a unique and attractive selling point.
