Rigged Cargo + Jabba + Seismic

By Ravenhull, in X-Wing

Something that occurred to me watching HairyNick’s video on the generic upgrades list.

Rigged Cargo is not only an ‘action bomb’, but as an illicit, it can be reloaded by Jabba. That’s a possible 5 extra debris terrain on the map. Not super powerful on its own, but if you build around that.

Also, if you have Seismic Bombs in your list, this gives you more options. This is more so given that the Loose Cargo is relatively wide, resulting in a large area of effect.

As I said, not super powerful on its own, but might be something that a list can be built around.

I think quite few have entertained the idea of a Hound with Jabba, and as many Quadjumpers as possible with seismics and rigged cargo previously on the forum. Now that the points are available, we can actually see what 'as many as possible' really is.

At a quick look, its only 3 quadjumpers with seismics and cargo chute plus the slaver to carry Jabba, which leaves 29pts. Another Gunrunner will fit, but with nothing on it. That may however be useful simply to tractor ships into range (or onto) the obstacles.

What I'm hearing is Emon with RCC and seismics + Jabba on a Slaver. Mind you, it wouldn't be a bad idea to drop emon for a smaller bomber and put the seismic on scum han with the title. Fly past an enemy and drop an RCC on them for +2 attack dice!

Don’t forget, Rigged is medium and large only, so no Quadjumpers. But the Quads can be the bomber half of it.

Ah I see. Well in that case, is it really worth it?

Dropping a Cargo then immediately blowing it up next round seems like it could be an amusing trick (not to mention that it gets you round the problem of not owning enough cargo templates).
