Can anyone help me understand what purpose the Punisher serves? Adding 3 shields on a 1 agility ship just seems to delay the inevitable while eating up more of your squad points. To make this thing work you need to load it up on ordanance, which just makes it that more enticing of a target. Seems more cost effective to load some ordnance on a bomber, and have more points for other options. Once this thing runs out of ordnance, if it survives that long, what does it have left? Compare it to a k-wing that will still have that nasty turret. I think the Punisher is a cool looking ship, and want to field it, but I just can't justify using it with so many more effective options. Which makes me really curious, why does this thing exist in the iteration that it is? I'll admit, maybe I'm missing something.
