How viable are Scum mini-swarm lists relative to their Imperial counterparts?

Firespray & 4 TIEs used to be my default list, but just wondering if anyone has run Scum Firespray (seems better) & 4 Binayre Pirates with any success.

Also - how would you run that 52-point Firespray?

I was thinking either:

Kath #1

Engine Upgrade

PTL

K4

Inertial Dampeners

Proximity Mines

Kath #2

Engine Upgrade

Predator

Gunner

Interial Dampeners

Z-95s are as good/BaD as they normally are until you add feedback

Feedback makes them, imo, THE single most fun and effective miniswarm ship out there. I could gush endless about feedback, but suffice it to say it makes the positioning of your Zs highly relevant and can be used to corral your opponent into places he doesn't want to be (kath's rear)

I perform the best with swarms in general, so I've been listcrafting and testing a lot of lists. I tend to prefer lists with multiple ship types, more interesting to play. I have tested the first couple, making my way down the list.

Kavil/Blaster/R4, 2 HLC Scyks, 2 Zs. 3 four die attacks, 2 two die attacks.

same list with a Thug instead of Kavil, and Serissu or Hull on the Scyks. 2 two die, 2 four die, and a three die turret.

3 Feedback Zs, one naked Z 2 HLC Scyks, 4 two die attacks, 2 four die attacks.

4 Naked Pirates, 2 naked M3As, a Thug with Blaster/R4. 6 two die attacks, one 3 die turret.

Firespray (Boba or Kath) or IG, 4 Zs, with or without Zappers.

2 IGs and 2 Zs or M3As. 2 three die and 2 two die

4 A4 Y-wings with Ions and R4s. 4 two dice attacks and 4 three die Ion shots, all modified.

3 Thugs with A4/Ion/R4, two naked Pirates

3 Thugs with R4/Blaster, two naked M3As OR two pirates with Feedback

Lots of scummy swarm options. Working on feeling out each of their strengths and weaknesses.

Same here, but so far I've been using them with a StarViper. Those Binayre Pirates are actually Kath Scarlet's minions, so I still need to try them with a Firespray.
