Yep, it's action bar only now.

And notably, the same nerf from the leak.

I hope this doesn't set the pattern.

Omg. I’m a stupid rock head. Please explain how it got nerfed. Ugh. Ugh I’m stupid

The gunboat article actually links to the Bombs Away article- to show how great slam and bombing is- and they nerf it in the same article.

Action bar only, so no Bomb dropping anymore.

Compare the card spread here:

To the current wording here:

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/xwing-miniatures/images/5/5a/Advanced-slam-1-.png/revision/latest?cb=20150629162502

If you notice on the new one, the last two lines say "perform _____ your _____" This does not align with the AdvSL card that we know. The logical conclusion is "perform an action on your action bar."

So when are we going to get our blaster turret fixed?

Never, they dont faq/errata things that are underperforming because that doesnt make them money.
Only change the good stuff so people stop using it and buy something else.

Heavy Scyk title would like a word.

The exception.

Not because it needed it but because it was 100% worthless and not selling since nothing in the kit was unique to it anybody wanted. Change the title so the ship can actually perform, bam now people buy it.
Worked on me. I had 1 until that change and the CROC came out. Now i got 4 lol and i run all 4 quite a bit

Exceptions are still grounds for precedent. The HWK pack becomes more appetizing a sale if it has a decent Turret option packaged in, allowing for builds straight out of the box as it were.

Ive only just started flying the k wing but is that going to make action bombs obsolete? Seems like quite a hard hitting nerf .

Not necessarily. Experimental Interface will still allow SLAM Bombing, but on a more limited scale. There are other bombers, like Deathfire, who can still use Action Bombs fine as well.

wooooo thanks ffg for killing warden squadron pilots. Miranda will be completely unaffected! All players rejoice!

I'm not sure I see the difference. Did the left one let you perform ANY action, even ones not on your action bar?

Yes. Like dropping bombs that are actions. That's the key difference.

yes

which is to say, any action that the ASLAM equipped ship had access to via upgrades (as opposed to any action ever). In almost every single case, this meant ACTION bombs

OHH, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

But the k wing hasnt got the best dial for removing stress. I meant obsolete on the k wing i should have been clearer

People are assuming it won't matter, except it will. Adding 3 pts for experimental interface to drop a bomb doesn't seem smart to me. Especially when you have to find a way to get rid of that stress with a dial that does do that well. Miranda is toast.

Probably, though someone might be able to figure something out.

lol, Miranda transitioned smoothly to Bomblet Generator and is fine.

One point, not three points. It will replace Advanced SLAM in the standard Miranda build. And there are plenty of stress-dealing effects already in the game; Miranda will be fine.

Just when i was starting to enjoy flying it too. But i guess its not in the faq yet so i can still fly with the old advanced slam!

And what free action would you take anyway? A focus or a tl? Doesnt really feel like a bomber then
