The card Minefield Mapper, if you look at the ship in the middle you'll notice something, it's a single-pod tie with angled wings. So who could it be?
It's also green in the picture, suggesting it's the ship using the map.
The only ships that meet that description are:
Tie Advanced,
Tie Interceptor,
Tie Adv. Prototype,
Tie Aggressor,
Of these, though, none can carry bombs and make use of the card. There is however another option that players have yearned for ever since the Tie Advanced had 2 atk: The Tie Advanced "Avenger".

The X-Wings' targeting computers one A New Hope showed all the TIEs with angled wings, even the regular TIE/lns. I wouldn't read too much into it.

plus, what makes you think that the TIE Avenger would have a bomb slot (and a systems slot)?

I think this might be a bit of a stretch. I think it is just some artistic liberties taken upon the card artist. Though I do agree that in time (who knows how long) we will see the Tie Avenger. It makes sense it is an aggressor, as it is being released within the same wave.

But the mapper isn't the targeting computer.

Also, the Avenger would have a system slot because it has a Beam Weapon in the game.
As for bombs, well everything that had missiles also had bobs so maybe it has System, Bomb, EPT?

Beam weapon = Cannon upgrade, not system.

This is based on exactly one upgrade card. Who knows where the next one will be?

Dude, this is a serious reach.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

It's funny because he's an Avenger.

Keep thinking outside the box @FourDogsInaHorseSuit , this game needs outlook and levity as the Scrugg approaches ?

Uh also, just as with the Gunboat, the Avenger never carried bombs/mines/etc. unless you count Space Bombs, which are not the same as the way this game treats bombs. In the video games, Space Bombs were shot forward at low speed out of a warhead launcher. Plus yeah, the tractor beam upgrade.

Seriously reaching, dude.

al least with the FO/Interceptors coming I'll get one of my wishes. They still might try still try to sneak in that other ship if we're not vigilant enough.

and woohoo...

They Are First Order TIE Advanceds! Not Interceptors!

There. been meaning to say that since they first got spoiled, but only just got an account..

I can't find a really good reference to point you to just now, but I could look harder if you want one.

I just like that if it's an FO/Interceptor we're less likely to get the Avenger which already looked like a smooshed adv/ceptor.

I'd take an update for either and both.

Yeah, it is really quite similar to an avenger. I actually can't wait for it.

The silencer IS the avenger! Look at that mini! That stat line!

Also, lol at the never gunboat crowd.
