Does anyone know if you have to use the specific scum faction dials with scum pilots for competitive play?
Hypothetical: You own 2 firesprays and buy 1 copy of most wanted. You build a Boba/Kath list but only have one scum firespray dial. Can you use an Imperial firespray dial with your scum list? I would tend to think at an FFG sanctioned event it would be the equivalent of proxying for cards you do not have.
What are your thoughts?
Did you mean to post this in the X-Wing forum? 
Until recently the rule was that you have to use the correct faction dial, but somebody told me yesterday that this has just been changed in a recent FAQ. I haven't read it myself yet.

......................................ugh yes, yes I did. I've been obsessing over Armada so much lately that I just defaulted. Thanks
Yep, most recent tournament FAQ I believe, you can use rebel or imperial dials with Scum pilots (and vice versa I think?), as they are identical. You just cant mix and match the pilot cards.

Multiple Faction Ships
All pilot cards and ship tokens in a player’s squad must belong to the same
faction. If a player’s ship has different versions in more than one faction, he or
she may use any version of that ship’s model and dial in his or her squad.
Multiple Ship Example: Scott is fielding a Scum & Villainy squad
consisting of four Z-95 Headhunters and one Firespray. His
Firespray model and dial are from the Imperial Firespray
expansion, two of his Z-95 Headhunter models and dials are
from the Rebel Z-95 expansion, and the final two of his Z-95
Headhunter models and dials are from the Scum & Villainy Most
Wanted expansion. However, all of his pilot cards and ship tokens
are from the Scum & Villainy faction.
