Gone fishin'. No new info, but nice to finally see the card. Haven't had any luck fishing for Tansarii-Point-Whatever or Calculating, or the unknown Y and HWK generics.

Cartel Spacer (14) + "Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (2) + "Mangler" Cannon (4) = 20 points.

I'll take five, please.

I NEED THE DIAL.

And this apears to be the dial

Sweet! Good fishin'.

1-turns and a pair of K-turns are nice. Too bad there's no 1-straight or 3-turns, though. Looks like it'll be a bit of a tough ship to fly. Doesn't lend itself well to getting stressed.

Fantastic! Really great, thanks for that. Didn't even think to look for the dial!

Very excited about both 1-Banks and 1-Turns, although no 3-Turn is interesting. Both a 3-K and 5-K are a good combo. Some nice options, without being overpowered. The Z-95 greens fit well.

I like this dial, surprised it doesn't have either 3 hard or 5 straight though (not saying it should have both but figured it'd have one or the other). I really like the access to a 5k though.

It'll fly kind of like an interceptor without ptl. Not bad for the price, and that 20-point mangler looks like solid filler. Can you imagine what two of those will do to a decimator?

It's not going to be able to slow roll with a HLC very well. To be honest, I don't get the point of this ship now I've seen the dial. Doesn't seem to have a place in scum lists

Have you tried slow-rolling with a Defender? It works well enough, although definitely not as slow as a Bomber. It's interesting to have to constantly adjust your bearing, because it means your opponents have to guess which way you're going to bank.

It seems like a cheap A-Wing knockoff, honestly. Not as good, but you can make of it what you want; staple on a Heavy Cannon if you want damage, an Engine Upgrade if maneuverability is an issue, a Shield Upgrade if it needs to stick around longer. I like the customization it represents. It won't fit in every list though, and I appreciate that it's different enough from the Headhunter.

I don't think it's built around the HLC as much as it is around the Mangler, plus you don't need to slow roll when you can roll up and then K turn past them easily with the 5k.

Those aren't really Z95 greens. Those are TIE Fighter greens, which suits the role this ship will carry in most fleets. It's not a great dial for clearing stress, but it also shouldn't be carrying around much stress to begin with.

Oh duh, yeah, Zs have the 1-straight. My bad! Yes very much TIE/ln greens, although with the 1-Banks the Headhunter was my first thought. Although with the 1-Turns and 3 Agility, the TIE/ln is the more important point of comparison.

It feels like the weird off-brand product that tried to be both the TIE and the Headhunter. Very interesting.

It's like the weird lovechild of a TIE Fighter, TIE Advanced, and TIE Bomber. And the result of that terrible night left it unable to perform a hard 3-turn.

Not sure where else to put this, but I'm pretty sure the PS4 Y-Wing generic pilot is "Hired Gun." Can't fish an image yet though. Any suggestions for PS5 Scyk or PS1 HWK?

I don't think we should have expected it to be all that premium. Sure, it's better than the econo-ships of the Rebel Alliance and the Empire (Z-95 and TIE/ln), but it's still only 14 points at PS2 (we now learn).

I wonder what classifies it as an interceptor, though? (Not that such classifications are all that solid in SW to begin with.)

It'll fly kind of like an interceptor without ptl. Not bad for the price, and that 20-point mangler looks like solid filler. Can you imagine what two of those will do to a decimator?

...Mangle it?

The 5-k will help keep the distance with the HLC though.

Its an ok dial. Not horrible but not awesome.

Just a little bit...

PS5 Scyk is Tansarii Point Pirate or Pilot I think.

It's no interceptor but then it's not meant to be that's the starviper, it's cheap and offers some nice options for load outs.

If all you want is a filler ship you have z95`s.

Calling it an interceptor does seem like a misnomer.

The StarViper doesn't have a hard 3, either. Neither does the Aggressor and the HWK. This leaves the Z-95, Firespray-31 and Y-Wing as the only Scum ships capable of performing that maneuver, and the Y-Wing needs an Unhinged Astromech to avoid taking stress from it.

I've been trying those and variations, no luck yet unfortunately. It's also possible they aren't uploaded yet, but I find that a bit weird when the Cartel Spacer and the Scyk dial are up, but neither were at all mentioned in the article we got today. Might be something going up Monday then?

Spice Runner for the HWK maybe? Going off this line in the original preview: "It starts with the Most Wanted Expansion Pack and its slate of thugs, hired guns, pirates, and spice runners"
