Scum and Villany is here. did'nt want it but will buy 2 of everything as will most of us will no point complaining about it may as well speculate
if this faction makes it to epic will we see Talon Karrde's ship the Wild Karrde? its a bit smaller then a corvette so it could work and it has 3 Turbolasers
what do you think?
Maybe, though most Action VI transports were unarmed and under armored for combat. More likely we'd see some form of older, obsolete system defense ship/patrol ship that is faster than the CR-90 and whatever the Imps get but has less armament.
Money on DP-20.
I thought wild karrade also... Couldn't remember how big it was though :-/
Being under armed etc could still let it be a support vessel like the transport :-/
DP-20 seems more like an Imp ship to me, heavier armed and armored. I do think that the Action VI transports would make an excellent version of the Scum's transport, maybe with a M3-A as an escort and the Wild Karrde title allowing it some weaponry.
Consular-class cruiser might also make sense, as it is a Clone Wars era ship that is fairly fast but lightly armed for a capital ship. I'm not a fan of the prequels, but that ship at least looked pretty good.
Oh, and there's also the SoroSuub Personal Luxury Yacht 3000 to consider...
...I mean, who wouldn't want a starship with it's own sun deck and swimming pool?
Yeah, I'm not going to fly the Space Pimpmobile with my group of hardened pirates/mercs/smugglers. Their attention would not be focused on the enemy....
A SoroSuub escorted by a squadron of 4 Z-95's is about to be engaged by an Imperial customs patrol...
Z-95 Leader: We've got TIE's inbound! Prepare to engage!
Z-95 2: Target acqui-wait... is that Twi'lek on the observation deck waving at me?
Z-95 Leader: Focus pilot! They're almost in range!
Z-95 2: She IS waving at me! Well, hello beautiful....
Z-95 3: Wait.. what's her friend doing? I'm moving in to get a closer look!
Z-95 Leader: Don't break formation! They're on us! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh I'm going down! I'm going down!
Z-95 4: Oh, yeah .
Edited by FTS GeckoWell you can't fit a hutt in a fighter so the pimpmobile works for me.
It's a nice...ship I guess, but the idea of Lando's space yacht actually fighting rather than running is kinda funny to me.
DP20 seems to be a correllian gunship? Which is definetly a rebel ship.
Well Hound's tooth is going to be in the game for sure. Talon karrde is always a "light side" character in the card games hanging out with other smugglers, so hard to say if he'll ever be in here.If the third faction was the "fringe" faction I could see it, but since it's "scum and villany" idk. But now that they've gone ahead and opened up the scum faction, it's obvious all the bounty hunter ships will be made, similar to the early days of this game when you knew b-wings and tie bombers etc weren't too far away. The only question would be whether or not hound's tooth would be a huge ship, which I guess it's supposed to be if it's in scale. I could even see them potentially making it before a huge imp ship and really pissing people off
I quite like the Mandalorian corvette (Crusader) the Zann faction had in Empire at War.
Then there's the Mobquet Medium Transport (as seen on Firefly...)
This could just as easily be an Imperial Epic ship, of course...
Edited by FTS GeckoThere are a few suggestions here for your consideration:
Personally I would just want to run 4 IG-2000s all with the Title, and have 4 really beast ships, it would burn up probably half the overall points allotted but would be fun, maybe spend the rest of Scum Firesprays/StarVipers, who needs a huge ship lol

Yeah, I think that's definitely going to be one of the favourite uses of Scum ships in Epic - 4x IG200.
Hell, Team Epic you could run 2 IG2000's per player and still have 100 points left each to add some (a lot of) chaff..

Blatant thread necro because:
A. It's a slow XWM news day.
B. Three years later and we still have no Epic ship to S&V on table.
C. FTS Gecko made me LOL.
