Bwings with tractor/ion in addition to autoblaster maybe?

Add Marksmanship and that ewing that gives crits?

Will try that

Just pointing out the the new bomb requires a reload action on the ship to be able to equip.

So Nym, Emon etc can't use it. Following ships, by faction can equip it. TJ stands for Trajectory Simulator for ships that can equip that as well.

Scum - Y-Wing

Rebel - Y-Wing, K-Wing

Empire - TIE Bomber, TIE Punisher (TJ)

Resistance - Resistance Bomber (TJ)

First Order and Republic get no love

Separatists - Droid Bomber (TJ)

Plus it's a unique item so only one can be equipped per list.

Definitely not a game breaker. The ships listed above are seeing almost no playing time. Y-Wing being the exception, but I can't imagine this bomb will be cheap, so it's going to make your Y-Wing REALLY expensive. I mean, do you really want to run a Scum Y-Wing with Dace Bonearm as a wingman? Maybe once. It would be a cool effect for sure, but it'll be like a dog chasing a car. What do you do once you catch it? Great, everybody is ion'd. Now what?

TIE Bombers and the Droid Bomber are probably the best options for it because they don't carry shields. Anybody that plays bombs a lot knows how hard it is to get out of your own way with range 1 bombs. Range 2? That's going to be really rough. At least with the TIE and Droid bombers they'll be unaffected by the shield reduction effect. That's 25% of the dice being ineffective should you find yourself in your own blast radius. So, you get ion'd? Big deal, you have 2 bomb slots, drop another bomb the next round when everybody else is ion'd as well. Yep, TIE Bomber and the Droid Bomber are probably the best carriers for this little nightmare.

Anybody playing against a list with that bomb in it will probably spread out. Not a bad thing. If equipping it completely changes the way your opponent is going to play, then it might be worth it.

Emon can if he's running the Andraste title. It grants the reload action.

Does it work this way tho? For example if Delta takes 7B config, it still pays 3agi prices for Modifications, since for list building what is on the card counts.

I really love this new boom, it is lot of fun, I don't mind if its effects are random. It can change drastically the course of a game. Deathfire will be my first try, if he is destroyed he still can drop a bomb. It will help your formation against flankers. I think it will be very annoying against slow big bases ( sorry lambda and YV). Unshielded fast ship will love it.

Yes. The upgrade adds the action to the action bar. Just as turrets add rotate and C3-P0 adds calculate...

I see, didn't realize Y-wing/VTG interaction at the moment.
