Not sure if I change the Gold Squadron to Grey and lose either the Torpedo or the Bomb…  Likely the Torpedo I think, that trick has some potential, but honestly I think it will catch a few people once…  Still, this way instead of 6 pieces of terrain, there will likely be at most 4 by the end of the game.  I like that it is an action, since I can do it during the Activation phase and as I read it Thane can perform that action when someone shoots at a friendly R 1-3 in his arc…  So, potentially a reactive Torpedo to push in another point of damage…  I like them on the low PS ships because as I see it, they move first and then potentially clear the terrain that the higher PS ships (Imp Aces especially) were counting on being there for their maneuvers and cover.  A bit of Swarm defense as well as I can force them to come through the field to get to me and I should catch a few with the exploding terrain…

Ten Numb is there to just push that critical one Damage through “whatever”…  He gets a Critical, it hits, no Defense possible.  So, one Damage…  But at PS 10, I should be shooting BEFORE a lot of the heavy hitters these days, and Criticals can be brutal…  Soonter Fel and Whisper especially hate to see this one hit the table…  He hasn’t for a long time as things changed, but I suspect this might be a good thing to bring out now.

Thane is an upgraded Stressbot build.  With a few tricks like a Barrel Roll that can happen during the Combat phase.  Hoping to catch some folks that maneuver around a big rock only to have me blow it up during Combat then shooting them for a Stress or two…  Might be aWe’ll see how it musing, but then I suspect people will figure out that it IS in fact a real threat.

Build lacks anything to do a big burst of damage, but there are a number of things to hit reliably…  We’ll see how it works out I guess in testing…
