Considering how high-agility low hit point ships don't care to joust is being able to force them around auto-damage or action denying bombs by creating a minefield a buff to ships that want to joust? By clogging the map and forcing arc dodgers into predictable areas have they buffed the X-wing?

You mean those X Wings that can't take Minefield Mapper? As far as that goes, the only Rebel ship that can is a B Wing / E2 with Sabine... So if anything, it's more a B wing fix than an X wing fix. Furthermore, it's more of a Punisher fix than anything as it's really the only ship out there that's going to drastically benefit from it (besides obviously the Havoc). They can deploy mines, and still have enough to be useful, all while having ordnance (and LRS for those locks) to be useful during shooting.

Ghost/Sabine could as well.

U-Wing/Sabine and Scurrg too

Or the Rebel version of the Havoc, which is actually probably the best one! Nym can place a proton bomb via the minefield map and then "hold" it, until some poor sap ends up within range 1 - making it a much larger virtual 'token' than any classic mine.

Fair enough. So no Rebel ships (besides Havoc) can take the Minefield Mapper... Only Sabine crew can.

At some point in the future, someone will kill Nym during Activation with Snap Shot, who will then be unable to prevent the Proton bomb going off that Miranda landed on, killing her as well. I hope it gets caught on video.
