The Firespray is a durable ship with a large selection of upgrade slots, making it a great candidate to load up with shiny toys. What are your favorite Firespray loadouts (for either Scum or Empire)?
Favorite Firespray Loadout
Expert Handling + K4 Security
Bounty Hunter with either Gunner or Recon Spec. KISS.
Two more Bounty Hunters.
Predator, tactician, a cannon (preferably HLC), and if you can afford it, feedback array. Seismic is nice as well if you also have the points.
Fett + Veteran Instincts + Engine Upgrade, in either faction. Gunner is nice, as is Rebel Captive.
Predator + Recon Spec.
Fett + Veteran Instincts + Engine Upgrade + Gunner for the hard to hit fellows.
Bounty Hunter with Recon Specialist, Engine Upgrade and Seismic Charges. It's tough because each round you have to choose between Boost and Focus, but most rounds one option is clearly better than the other. And as for the charges, I just like bombs.

I've been flying this a lot lately and it absolutely rocks
Love expert handling on large base ships. seems like it would shine even more on kath or emon
Scum Boba + Rec Spec + VI + Deadmans Switch
Engine Upgrade if you can afford it.
I also dig scum Kath + Opportunist + K4. It can be tricky to pull off, but she can throw 6 dice out the rear arc at range 1. Usually with a TL + Focus.

Add crew to flavour.
I'm with WAAAGH, the generic with a RecSpec is my favorite loadout in the game. The hardest part I have is deciding what to bring with it!
For imperial, a bounty Hunter with eu.
For scum, Kath with EU, k4, inertial dampeners, ptl.
I've really been enjoying scum Kath. While I get the Rendar-esque appeal of PtL, K4, EU, it's not for me. One bump or stress and you're packing a lot of wasted points.
I've had good success with: Predator, Gunner, Engine Upgrade. It's not dependant on actions to do damage and is actually pretty proficient at knocking off phantoms.

My favorite thing about that setup is Kath will always get her target lock if you do a green maneuver. Against a stress or ion squad, it may not be a good idea, though you can still get a target lock+focus/evade/boost. Against anything else, 3 actions a round with usually a 4 dice attack is pretty sweet.
It's been a while since my Firespray has seen the table. But now that scum is out, I'm interested to try out a Mangler cannon on Imperial Kath, Seems like it would be pretty solid, especially on the approach. I've also toyed with giving her tactician for maximum stress-trolling.
Anyone tried this?

well there goes my contribution ![]()
but yeah, barrel-roll firesprays are awesome (especially Kath, dat arc). The K4 makes it not suck ass by getting you awesome attack modifications. God I love that little scum crew and christ how I wish Imperial Boba could take it...
K4's really solid, yeah. Feels kind of Astromech-ish, but tuned specifically for offense.

Thing is, you can't. You can get a TL, but that's all you can ever count on. You get the a TL because it isn't an action, but the rest is off the table. If Kath isn't doing obscene damage, she's dead weight. And if she's choosing from 1 of 4 green maneuvers just to be able to do some damage, she's gonna get focused down.
I like my Imperial Bounty Hunter naked. They are a big threat as is, and you don't loose a lot of points when they die.
I like my Scum with Engine upgrade and predator. This lets them point their guns a little more reliably.

Especially tasty with an ion cannon
I still favor my 2 x BH + Gunner w/ Doom Shuttle list, but I've been waiting for a viable 2 point upgrade of some kind so I can switch to Recon Specialist. I'm also still waiting for an upgrade that let's me shoot secondary weapons from my butt. Get on it already, FFG.

I think you'll find that Gunner is going to be even more useful now.
