Is it worth running Sabine if you only have Bomblets on your list?

By StriderZessei, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm trying to come up with a hybrid ordinance list for Miranda that utilizes missiles and Bomblet Generator.

With BG being the only bomb in the whole list, I'm wondering if it might be better to swap out Sabine for Threepio.

Here's the list. Keep in mind I would have to drop Rigged Cargo Chute to make the swap.

YT-2400: · Dash Rendar (36)
· Lone Wolf (2)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Smuggling Compartment (0)
· Rey (2)
· Outrider (5)
Rigged Cargo Chute (1)


K-Wing: · Miranda Doni (29)
Extra Munitions (2)
Homing Missiles (5)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
· Bomblet Generator (3)
Long-Range Scanners (0)
· Sabine Wren (2)


-- TOTAL ------- 100p. --

You're using only a part of sabine's ability because u don't have points for another bomb. I'd put C3-PO

Absolutely. Bomblet without Sabine can be very toothless and something people are willing to just fly into. Like Scum Nym with Bomblet and no Cade Bane in the list?...I'll just YOLO into that to try to melt him.

I think that's a good list, although I'd consider dumping EM for an Ion bomb on Miranda or moving Rigged Cargo to Countermeasures. I don't find myself getting multiple missile shots with Miranda, particularly in a 2-ship list where she'll be running and/or dodging arcs with SLAM a lot.

You can free up a point by changing Homing Missiles to Harpoon Missiles (from Guns for Hire). Harpoon deters your opponent from flying in a close formation which helps you out as Miranda prefers not to be ganged up on.

Yes. There was a Han/Nym list made cut at UK nats with Sabine on the Falcon for Nyms bomblets.
