Considering we can be pretty sure that one of the B-Wing's option cards is labeled "Autoblaster" and assuming this is a new cannon option, i want speculations about what it can do, what it's rules are.

So i will go first:

Autoblaster: Point cost 7, Range 1-2, 4 Attacks. Special rule: Add one attack die when attacking at range 1.

So this would make it the exact opposite of the HLC for short range. An Autoblaster should after all be very efficient at short range. I didn't include the gimping part that the HLC has with the crits, since it is more difficult to get a good range 1 shot than a good range 3 shot.

Okay your turn, what do you think?

If you zoom way, way in on the card and kinda squint you can see it says something like this…

"ACTION: Attack 1 ship.

Your [eyeball] results cannot be rerolled by target lock.

When attacking this turn [critical] results become [hit] results."

I'm pretty confident about the last two lines but whether or not the word at the beginning is ACTION or ATTACK I'm not entirely sure of. I have a feeling it is ACTION, though.

I am thinking it is something to deal with swarms. Maybe attack(3) against 2 ships at range1? Now that could just be wishful thinking on my part.

Seems like an inaccurate "spray and pray" style gun, so I'm going to say it's something along the lines of a range 1-2 that gives you three attacks at 2 die each. Similar to the cluster missiles

That would make quite some sense too, just that it would be really weak at 2 dice per attack. i would rather use my normal attack in 90% of cases with a B-Wing or Slave then. if i get 4 attacks on range one that probably would do more damage than 3 times 2 attacks against most ships.

I have no idea how you can read this, all i can see is the Autoblaster card title. But if it's true thats better than speculation.

The last line makes sense since it is basically the same thing that the HLC has, i suspected that. This is the price to pay for more attacks apparently.

The first line gimps the weapon even more, but if it has enough attack dice, why not. So it seems to be made for focusing rather than for target locking (or both). This might have to do with the other B-Wing upgrade, the one with free target locks so if you invest in both upgrades you can reroll your blanks, then modify the results with focus.

I would be surprised if it was ACTION, since firing this gun as an action would be really powerful as you would be able to attack with this gun in your action step and then your primary attack. So i believe this must rather be ATTACK.
