The Scyk title lists that it can take torpedoes, canons, or missiles. This means that you have to pick one of those slots to fill, correct?

The Miniature Market description says this: "[you can fly this ship] as a 'Heavy Scyk,' capable of equipping a cannon, torpedoes, and missiles."

Obviously, for two points, the ability to take all three of those upgrades would be crazy. But is it one or the other or is it all three at once?

As per the card in the preview article it's "or".

The versatility of this ship is going to be so cool. I feel like there will be a lot of combinations and a lot of variability between lists that use this ship. I don't know that there will be one right way to use it

In a general sense, you can equip the Scyk with all of those upgrades. You can only upgrade one particular Scyk with either or.

It is hard to imagine paying 2 extra points for ordnance...

Especially in a fleet that already contains both the Z-95 and the Y-wing.

I believe there was some bits in the GenCon interview comparing it to BSPs, if the low-PS generic is 14pts that's just equivalently-costed to a bomber.

Unless there's some crazy ordnance fix we haven't seen yet. Most will equip cannons or nothing.

Like Proton Rockets?

Double post removed.

I think they've realised it's largely going to be cannons that it gets upgraded with. There's only cannon cards in the pack.

I wonder what impact this ship will have on the game. Assuming the cheapest one will be 13 points (TIE stats with PS2 and a shield), we're talking an 18 point ion or flechette platform. Should be an extremely efficient unit for flanking and harassing at range.

Nine points to stick a HLC on a scyk making it the ultimate glass cannon...nah, we haven't seen the scum cannons yet I'm sure something nice awaits us, less keen on putting missiles on them.

The interview said the Scyk is designed to be Ship Number 7 and 8. Unupgraded it's a TIE fighter (probably with a slightly worse dial) and it becomes a powerful 20+ point glass cannon (ala TIE interceptor) with the Heavy upgrade.

Come to think of it the Scyk is a three agility ship, isn't it?

Yep, 3 agility, 2 hull and 1 shield. Seems a bit fragile to load up with an expensive cannon. There's two other cannons shown that we don't know much about. Hopefully they'll have some cheap punch. Interesting that it comes with a Stealth Device card. Almost infers that it's going to be a standing requirement for this ship.

Will we see a Syck swarm enter the game?

Maybe aScyk with a cannon flanked by a Z95 swarm. I'm liking Serissu, let's you reroll defence did a la Howlrunner, then maybe a cheap named Z with Bodyguard, let's you spend a focus to give a higher PS ally an extra agility.

In the interview they made the Scyk sound like it was comparable to the A-wing and Interceptor. I doubt it has a worse dial than a Tie Fighter. My guess would be the Interceptor dial with the 3-turn being green instead of the 2-turn.

Four of these babies with Autoblasters sound like a nice deal.

I was gonna interject, something about getting one shotted, but man. These guys are gonna be a handful.

Never even thought of this. I could see this being really efficient.
