Hoping to bring some version of this to a store champ in the coming month. Do you think Emon can get the cluster mines off before going out on a spray of fiery glory? Don't really want to mess with Nym as it all works. Wondering if I should drop a set of CMs for APL and burnout slam or a cheaper reveal bomb. All feedback welcome!

I reckon I might put in a dial-reveal bomb of some kind, and maybe drop HLC and APL for an Engine Upgrade. Seems to me that the 'Spray's great weakness has always been its dial, you know? Otherwise, I like this very much. Might give it a try, for funsies.

With that Nym build, Autoblaster Turret is going to be much more useful than TLT.

I think the Emon build is nice. I kinda doubt you'll get all the bombs off, but I think that's okay here: it makes him the first target, fairly tough to get through, and that leaves Nym, who as a PS10 Autoblaster/Accuracy Corrector, will be a brutal closer.

I gave this a try this past week, as I wanted to give Nym a go, plus I never play bombs.

Won against Decoy Vader/Vess/Zeta Leader. Want to keep at it and maybe even run it at a tournament this next month.

Was fun to fly.

@bahourmat Did you find engine on Emon was critical? Wondering how often I will want to have boosted versus bomb, focus, TL...

Well, now that you mention it, don't think it was that critical. Had me run up he board a bit faster in the opening turns, but not much else. Might try swapping it over to Nym or just getting something else entirely.

Flew Nym for the first time the other day and paired him with Emon as well. Kinda went the other way with the bombs though, giving Nym the Mapper with Clusters, and Emon the Bomblets.

Worked out really well, funneling my opponent's ships into predictable lanes. Got a cruise missile off on a 4-straight move and bombed away after. Emon is pretty fun too.

Went for the third ship option as the z is basically ignored to get a lot of free shots off, but maybe a turret on Nym would be useful too.

What do you guys think of this? And have you had any other experiments since when last posted with these ships?

It's an expensive 1-Trick pony, but Emon with Burnout, Adv Slam, Cad Bane, and Cluster/Proximity would be a helluva bomb thrower. Turn 1 = 3 Forward, SLAM for 3 Hard, Free Action to throw Mines 3 Hard behind towards the enemy.

Investing in HLC when you're using bombs is probably overkill. You're aiming to point your rear at the enemy, but you're investing 7 points in your front. Bad plan.

I run a way over upgraded emon sixxa list that has a tractor beam on emon so I can flip dudes if I'm not in a place to bomb them. It makes it even easier to land bombs

I always like a 4 speed k turn with adrenaline rush. Then you could bomb them and shoot them with Aux's. Kath works well with that too.

Emon has no EPT slot for adrenaline rush
