I'm a little uncertain. They seem amazing, but might be skewed too hard toward defense. I'm afraid if they lose double tap that they won't be able to put out enough damage for the points.

Yeah, doesn't seem very punchy for something with six laser cannons. Here's hoping they have a Defender Elite config we can equip to turn them into monsters.

I mean you can now equip a cannon on an x7 and it does look like they are possibly now worth using in place of primary attacks in some situations.

Maybe too few of us appreciated the power of the /D?

Hmm. Interesting points.

If an article drops on the holonet and there's no one there to hear it, did it still make a sound?

Depends if the notifications are turned on.

Worth using instead of a 3 dice primary?

Which cannon is that?

The TIE/D was the only viable cannon carrier for a reason. Oh, no Brobots also. But they can also fire both weapons.

HLC will be incredibly fringe, even more than it was before.

Ion is fine, but the damage is not great.

Jamming beam... if it falls down at the end of the turn, its DOA.

Tractor beam... maybe a ship that will take up most likely half your list isn't the best platform for control cannons.

Mangler might not exist.

Sure, I will slap on an Ion cannon if its cheap enough, because I like Ion control. But I seriously doubt that unless a doubletap exists, it will be viable to use any cannons on the Defender. Those points will be probably better spent elsewhere.
