That's funny, because I think I remember reading that "immediately" actually has no timing meaning in XWM, despite the fact it is used a lot.

Yes, this became an enourmous problem for me when I learned to play Destiny. I still can only barely remember which of the two games the word "immediately" actually means anything in...

Also, if they intended you to be able to use action bombs as well, why put any restriction on bombs to begin with? Clearly they were trrying to rule out action bombs

It could be a timing restriction. As written, even in plain English, it would rule out Advanced Sensors drops, for instance, and pre-activation Coordinate effects.

I'm still not 100% convinced it's not just a timing restriction, especially given they didn't use the exact phrasing that reveal-maneuver bombs use.

If they're trying to rule out Action bombs, why not just use the same language they used for Trajectory Simulator, which actually does rule out Action bombs?

Yeah, but with Nym as a wingman, you could get Bane's rerolls or Sabine's extra damage anyway.

Bane is scum-only, so unless you're mixing factions you can't get his rerolls.

Looks guys, I'm all for RAW arguments but if you can't see why crimson spec barely sticking a Conner net template to their generous sides isn't an incredibly stupid idea...

Oh sure, you're all for RAW with Minefield Mapper, but now. . . ( :P )

well with minefield mapper it was incredibly obvious based on the wording (not as obvious as the Tie/v1 title back in the day, but still)

here you can definitely make a pedantic argument, but the outcome is just moronic

If you could put Bane/Sabine on the same list, then good-bye see ya later.

Well, yeah, that's how you know they're synonymous when reading X-Wing rules. "Immediately" is just for emphasis, so "after" and "immediately after" are identical in meaning.
