I think it's super cool, but honestly I think it should absolutely be AT LEAST 8 points. It's PRE-NERF PALP in an EPT slot!

It would be SO COOL if they could get it right.

Well, it only effects the ship its on, and it only allows you to change a blank result. It is essentially like a free action (evade or pseudo marksmanship) which is in line with Expertise costing 4 points. But like I said, Expertise has a built in kill switch in the form of stress. Emperor's hand either needs to go up to 5 or 6 points or have a conditional limitation. Like maybe it only works if you have a focus or something.

We'll, it's once per turn, while attacking or defending. So you can't use it on both. Isn't the balancing that you have to choose to use it on attack or defense?

I really feel like we need an aces pack next year to add additional GUNBOAT pilots and pretty new GUNBOAT paint schemes.

As we have practical confirmation that the missing SKU is an new starter set with revised rules named "Starwing the Miniature Game" I suspect there are already some more GUNBOAT Pilots in the pipeline. So imho we could waite with an GUNBOAT Aces Pack until 2019 to push the GUNBOAT up to its place in the future meta.

I can't tell if you're joking or not.

Would the Linked Ions be small-ship only, or could I throw them on a Lambda?

Hmmm.

But that would mean the GOANBOAT would fall to the bottom of the meta and the X-Wing would rise to the top.

Lambda, Firespray, Gunboat and (title-less) TIE Defender = 4 fixes in one card!

So I think the flexibility of the GUNBOAT is really fun. I like that with a title you can go the cannon route or the missile/torp route.

I wonder if the GUNBOAT would make a great ship to add other title options? I wonder if there was a title for adding crew if that would be good? Kinda like the TIE Bomber?

Anyways, I think the base of the ship before title provides opportunity for other titles.

Okay, I'm just here saying we need a GUNBOAT aces pack, that's all.

With the ardent fervor surrounding the Gunboat, I think FFG are probably having some discussions about putting more money in their bank by riding the Gunboat waves. Until then, enjoy this video of "mediocre" Gunboats annihilating Nymranda at a regional final table:
