 When I did a battle force for captains log a few years ago. Using the Jundos.I ran into just that problem. The ruling was to use G3. I was very happy that Matt was using the earlier time frame for the Bombers in the campaign. Historically the Jindariians only added new Tech when the Empires around them used it. Was this done so as to not draw attention to the fact that they actually are more advanced than the other Empires? 
That does sound right.

"John L. Stiff:


My memory is not what it was, so someone may correct me, but to the best of my memory the only reasons the Jindarians are denied the use of bombers is a case where they are using the original bomber dates that were in Module F1 and superseded by Module G3 (Jindarian bombers begin appearing in the Alpha Octant in Y172, not Y88). Or other special scenario rules denied the use of bombers for the given scenario, or the player tried to put bombers on a non-asteroid ship, or the player tried to put bombers and fast patrol ships on one ship (even the Jindarians are not allowed to put heavy fighters, a class that for this purpose includes bombers, on a space control ship/stellar domination ship, or any ship that is otherwise a true PF tender"

and some other notes on same BBS page about using G3

Matt,
The last time I asked the BBS it was the new G3 is the Jindarian bomber list, they still get bombers as early as other empires when bombers first appear. (it was done for historical reasons, the jindarians kept technology developments at the same pace as the other surrounding empire in their area of operation).

 Hey guys. I'm still working on the campaign database project.

First: it looks like I'm still on track for finishing up by new-years. 
Good news all around.

However, I've run into a teensy little snag that bugs the heck outta me. 
The Year-In-Service dates for the jindarian bombers in module G3 has 
nearly doubled. This flies in the face of the bomber descriptions in a 
couple of particulars and is so wildly different than the original 
source (module F1) that it's got to be wrong. Buuut... G3 is supposed to 
be the most-current-update. All of my other data assumes it is 
authoritative (except for those few modules I have that were published 
later.)

So I'd like to see if you guys can find me some commentary that solves 
this issue one way or another (Errata? BBS comment? Email from 
ADB's-PR-nightmare?) If not, then I will (very reluctantly) have to go 
with the G3 dates as published and the Jindarians will lose their place 
as the first people with bombers by half a dozen spots.
