Just my 2 cents, for those complaining about this “destroying the Falcon!”
The bomber, and every other Empire ship except for ITF, is slower than the Falcon. If you run Falcon, Bistan, Biggs, you can knock out whatever “key” ship is on the Empire lineup before they can take a turn. Assuming they use TIE Advanced, Emperor’s shuttle and Bomber, you can lead with Bistan applying target lock on the TIE advanced then Zerg it before they can take a turn. Home 1 will likely go before their ships as well, and a double assist has a good chance of taking out the emperor’s shuttle as well. All before they take 1 turn. Reinforce with Y-wing to ion cannon the Bomber, and it’s toast.
So yeah, you can probably use it on offense to beat Rebel fleets, but don’t think you’re gonna be able to stand a chance if you put it in on defense. This ship doesn’t make Empire godly again in fleets (for those playing long enough to remember the days of ITF dodge roulette + Reaper race to the Ultimate), but it will help balance out the faction and make it playable again.
