So what about eamon?

By Scoundrel, in X-Wing

this guy HAS to be good now. I know he doesn't have an EPT and that it sucks immensely nut still with all the boosts to bombs? I build the old mine throwing version and it was good. a tad bit too gimmicky but id imagine just suing the mines with clusters would be decent. and then theres cad, EM and all kinds of other bomb stuff that wasn't around back then.

Any ideas?

Bomblet Generator and either Dengar crew or Tail Gunner and he's starting to look like a fun ship to fly!

Eh...

So def not with ACTION bombs, not enough action efficiency just means he dies far too quickly and contributes nothing to whatever he can't bomb

Bombletts could have some legs though

You're right about the action economy. If he had a reliable way to get a second action he'd be pretty good, as he can do some pretty disturbing things with Cluster Mines and Conner Nets. As it is, the only real option is Experimental Interface which a: is throwing good points after bad and b: is useless once his mines are gone.

I think Bomblet and Tail Gunner are probably the best option. Then you just need to get people chasing you.

I'd personally put more stock in Dengar crew for consistent offensive mods no matter what

Andrasta Title, Engine Upgrade, Bomblet Generator, Connor Net, Dengar

Yeah, agreed again, Tail Gunner just feels ike a bit more fun to me.

Well, yeah. actions is an issue especially with no EPT. I guess you could slab exp interface on him, though. throw a biscuit and rear shoot with tailgunner, focus/tl or whatever. its not like the ship loves being stressed in the first place, though. Also, I dont like to fly my firesprays sans EU.

Bomblets, Cad Bane, EU, BMST. 45pts

Now spend 55 points on something to get in their face while this thing doodles about popping fireworks.

Stuff it, bung 55 points into MECHA-NYM.

I don't know what Eamon build is the best, but I do know what tune he flies to! Zippeti do dah bombs away!

BMST? : ) I know that I know this..

Bmst black market slicer tools, also an action tho .. unless ur saving it for after the bombs are gone

A couple of us have tried him out at my store. He is better, but the Firespray dial and lack of defensive mods makes him a), hard to fly and b), easy to kill. You need to be doing some serious bomb damage for him to make up his points. Also, TLT's wreck him horribly.

A **** fun ship to fly though.

Bomblets aren't an action. BMST are cheap and useful if there is a stressed ship nearby and you don't need to boost.

You can make a terrifying Nym for 55 points. Maybe not good. But fun!

Ahh gotcha
