Oh gosh.

:employs brave sir robin gambit:

I feel like this many concussion bombs is probably just not that good. The forced drop effect seems like it might bite you in the rear at times.

As such, I'd try to find points for Delayed Fuses. Sticking a fuse when you know you're dropping a bomb in a place that's inconvenient for you could really save your bacon.

Becket and Nym's Ion Cannon (dropped to Dorsal) seem like places where some tweaks could be made, or running cheaper Quadjumpers , or an extra Spice Runner.

there are no cheaper quadjumpers

I'd just be leaning hard on Nym's ability to delay inconvenient bombs. Fuses could be useful though, I guess.

The list is also the way it is because of limitations in my collection. I only have a single HWK, or I'd probably replace the y-wing with another.

I'd prefer not to nerf ion turret to dorsal, getting an ion to stick is just too good with all these bombs.

Also, sidenote: I'm probably going to run the four small ships as a loose joust block, and then splitting up after first engage.

Even fewer than five fuses might be handy... cutting just Beckett gets a pair of them.

And I guess I never realised that Sarko and Unkar are the same price as a generic :P
