@catachanninja Bob is returning in spirit through Finch Dallow.
" ... drop a bomb, you ... play area touching ... instead. "
I can't find the image that shows that, but I've seen it before when the resistance conversion kit was first announced and that's what YASB says.

Still surprises me how mostly reasonable the increase in prices are all the way down the sheet, other than a few.
I'll be adding a faction + initiative columns for number crunching and list building.

did I leave it publicly editable? Or did you mean like make a clone?
if it's publicly editable and not vandalized to be unusable I'll be both impressed and disappointed...

Well, now they HAVE to, so you're not disappointed.

stiker math seems off. There's no way a ship with 1 less AGI and the same HP is that small of a difference off of an A-wing. Also simulating a 4 hull, 2 agi ship gives very different numbers

also, until crits are considered, b wings and reapers are functionally the same (8hp behind 1 agi).

Wow. Against a Howl+7, you have ONLY a 45% chance to die. You are expected to take 9(!) shots to kill.

and that's without a defensive focus for howlrunner...
Am I totally overvaluing the effect of a direct damage via bombs and the stat altering affect it has on swarms? Because it seems like being able to lob in a proton (or seismic) and forcing Iden to trigger outside of the combat phase feels key to being able to burn Howl down in one round. If you have 3, 3 dice attack ships with a focus you are looking at 4+ shots to take out Howl with Iden. If Iden has been spent that number drops a little below 3 shots.

I’m not sure you’re overvaluing it. Seems bad for the swarm, and a lot of other ships.
The hard part to process is that the 1 point of bomb damage is more valuable in that situation than a 4th, 3 dice gun with a focus. This one is a bit unique because of the low health of a tie and lack of shields. It's one of the few situations where it's that powerful.
Well bombs are a pretty direct counter to swarms now, at least thrown bombs.

Check out a Firespray with reinforce. It takes 10 shots for even a non 0% chance to die. The interesting part is that Boba is better off at range two with a reinforce instead of range one with a reinforce plus rerolls.
This is such a cool tool, thanks for putting it together!

Reinforce is still good, but damage can still be pushed though with good dice. You won't die, though.

What type of low ship count stuff can semi-reliably beat good swarms without bombs?
As an example...
| Soontir Fel — TIE Interceptor | 52 |
| Lone Wolf | 4 |
| Stealth Device | * |
| Ship Total: 64 | |
| "Whisper" — TIE Phantom | 52 |
| Juke | 4 |
| Darth Vader | 14 |
| Ship Total: 70 | |
| "Duchess" — TIE Striker | 42 |
| Juke | 4 |
| Fifth Brother | 12 |
| Ship Total: 58 | |
Howl takes around 2-3 damage? Probably survives on 1 hull?
Do you need more than 2 full health ships to finish off the rest of a swarm once Howl is dead?
Its alot of blocks to avoid and Soontir is pretty much afraid of 2 tie fighters now, same as Duchess. Seems like a reasonable matchup though.

Even though it got nerfed, it is a massive upgrade for the zero agility ships. A VCX against a Howlswarm will take 13+ shots to kill.
