Bombs 2.0 -- what do we know?

By PaulTiberius, in X-Wing

I just watched some of the panel discussion yesterday from DiceHate's YouTube, and I caught Frank talking about bombs, giving details I haven't seen discussed anywhere else yet.

Bottom line:

a) Bombs and Mines are different.

b) There are no more Action bombs/mines. (!!!!)

c) Mines will not have a multi-use charge, whereas bombs (some of them at least) do.

Also from the trailer video screencap thread, we know TIE Bombers have a new "title" ability stapled to them, where bombs can be deployed with bank templates rather than only straight. The Deathfire ability suggests that "launching" bombs is now going to be a core mechanic.

Anything else we know?
