Trajectory simulator + skilled bombardier

By EAuyang, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I tried searching for the answer, but came up empty, so I apologize if I just missed it buried in another thread:

2E - Trajectory simulator + Skilled bombardier. Does this mean I can launch with 6 straight now (take a 5 straight and add 1 straight to it)? Or is that illegal because a 6 straight template doesn't exist (yet...)

Typically, you are restricted to only the maneuver templates that exist; you can't increase a straight maneuver beyond five, or decrease it below one. Same goes for banks and turns: 3 is the maximum value.

What it does mean, though, is that when you're placing a bomb token, you can launch it 4 or 5 in front of you, or drop a bomb OR mine token 1-2 behind (since you currently can't launch mines).
