FFG Article - Scum and Villainy

PS 8 M3-A seems to say 'When another friendly ship at range 1 is defending, it may re-roll 1 defence die'

I'm going to have to go get my maneuver templates out, because the 3-Sloop move looks like it could have really important ramifications for Defenders. I'm already looking at a Xizor or Guri with the Virago and Advanced Sensors to really mess with some firing arcs!

Surprised that hasn't been done yet... given the popularity of Howlrunner.

someone said mangler cannon, I think that it says:(in order):Flechette Cannon,Ion Cannon, Mang...... Cannon, Stealth Device, Heavy Scyk Interceptor.

StarViper looks boss. 31 pts for its top ps pilot?? Sign me up! That would mean 24 for a ps1. It also looks like it can preform the segnor loop based on the reference card.

I just looked at most wanted spread, I see a Y-wing mod/title in there. It says BT.......... Presumably BTL-S3 adding a crew slot. It could be BTL-A4 adding a bomb slot too. I hope it's S3

As Glentopher pointed out, there is a torp upgrade that gives the y-wing a bomb, so the title upgrade I see is presumably BTL-S3. However, there looks like more text on it as well so I could be wrong or it could have an added effect.

I'm pretty sure I see Autothrusters as a Modification. I assume it does something movement related.

And are those Deadman Switches in the IG2000?

Yes I see Kath and Krassis in there.

Do I see PS 6 Krassis, or are my eyes fooling me?

The top Z-95 also has an illicit upgrade, missile upgrade, and either crew or ept (it looks like ept)

Does anyone else think it would be excellent to include cardboard copies of the bases and cards for the unnamed ships for the rebrands? That way in order to have five bandit squadron pilots I wouldn't have to buy five a-95 expansion packs, then own two more from the other set that I can't use because I lack the cards for them? Seems like it would be a good idea to include... Not cost effective for FFG, but as a service to the fans.

Any idea what the faction tokens that come with IG-2000 are?

Can anyone read the PS7 Y-wing's Name?

I love the idea of playing IG-88 only. I hope that different versions have different points.

Shame that they forgot auxiliary weapon icons on the scum Firespray pilots.

Looking like a new PS6 Unique Pilot for the Firespray, and...I can't make out a Unique dot on the PS5 pilot. A new generic?

Because that would be fantastic.

Curious... you are right... yet the ship cardboard has the dotted aux arc

2 of everything except 4 M3-As

So...why are there multiples of the dials included in the 3-ship pack? Are the S&V Y-Wing dials different than the Rebel versions? You get 1 Y-Wing, but 2 dials?

I'm not sure that's Krassis, the Firespray looks a different colour.

Well the Andrasta title is in there so could be Emon Azzameen?

We will see how this turns out. I, too, am worried about the power creep (forces of corruption was terrible) but ffg has done a superb job in the past so I have confidence this will continue.

That star viper has to be the ugliest looking ship I have ever seen though aesthetically. I am sure it will be quite strong...but really that prince has no sense of style...thing looks like a giant mosquito.

PS5 generic probably costing more than 33 so no tipple firespray in Scum.

And for that I'm thankful! They're more fun with upgrades anyway, frankly.

Might be able to fit in a pair of PS5 Mandos and a pair of PS5 Scyks if the numbers work out! Otherwise one Scyk and some buffs for the Firesprays would be fun. I'm looking at you, Flechette Cannons!

Why multiple dials?

Because it looks like they are giving you everything needed to play TWO Y-wings, not just the one in the box. Two ship bases, Titles, Mods, Turrets, and each of the Astromechs (Except the Uniques of course). Awesome!

Hopefully the base Scyk isn't 11 pts. Because a 5 HLC swarm would be... annoying.

Segnor's Loops are cool. A great way to add a new maneuver. I love Iggy's design. I think he will be very cool in Epic games. I am annoyed in that it looks like I may have to get a Scyk or two for my Defenders.

I need to see more of the Virago. The stats are pretty insane right now.

Likely 13, it's basically a TIE Fighter with a shield swapped for a hull and the Target Lock action added, aside from the dial differences.
