We should also remember, synergy is a thing. Ciena Ree can mean you pop a coordinate on a Punisher to boost or BR and then it can rotate 90 degrees, giving it quite a flexible movement if needed. There will likely be other moves which supplement running either a named punisher or a couple generics with support.

(Also, from a fluff perspective, interesting to note this is TIE/CA Punisher, not TIE/IT Interdictor despite those seemingly being the same ship. Means there could be an alternate configuration to add an ability or alter some rules in future)

It.

Can.

Stop!

I love this. I hope, but imagine otherwise, there's a way to launch consecutive bombs and ordnance on a stop. Particularly on Deathrain. A one shot ept would do. That you could charge. Infinitely. Or until the 4 dice pwt decided to fire at you again.

I like the linked boost/TL. With that and reload, it's got a quasi Gunboat thing going on, maybe.

But some kind of reinforce feels missing.

Tbh, they had me at 'medium base'.

Reinforce being negated if the ship attacking you is on the halfway line kinda ruins Reinforce's power imo on anything other than the initial joust or long-distance tailings (which is a bad idea to begin with against a bombdropper)

I seriously cant wait for Ciena Ree and the Reaper. It'll feel so great to have a proper support in imperials that ISNT HALF MY STUPID LIST

Ciena Ree will enable so many weird bombing/torping potentials...
