What do you guys think about it?

Anyone?

I've been running Guri with sensor jammer, title, opportunist and auto thrusters. You could use predator instead. Take torpedoes , ID, and cannon off you list and add a Z.

I know K4-Security Droid goes well with PTL, but on Scum Boba, it is a little redundant with this ability. Yes, only if you are within range 1 of something, but odds are you will be. I recommend putting recon specialist there instead so now you could focus + Evade with your PTL, giving you a focus for D and one for offense with your rerolls AND you have an evade token...or of course boost as needed with double focus. Autoblaster is a beast with those rerolls...it would maybe be more powerful with a few blockers like Binayre Pirates.

Neat two ship list though. I guess if you flew it right people arc dodging Guri wouldn't be a big deal if Boba was right there with coverage.

I also like Predator on Guri instead of PTL... I just like going as stress free as possible to set up those Adv. Sensor Segnor's loops. Not crazy about ID on her as well at PS 5...hrm.... The ion torp is interesting, but I might take ID off Guri, downgrade torp to Proton and put a hot shot blaster on either Boba or Guri.

like I said, I was just fooling around and thought it might be interesting. The point of the ion torps was to have something to alpha with and then close to range 1 with Fett to take the kill, with Guri giving supporting fire back from range 3 if it is against turrets.

PtL on Fett to be able to get F + TL + BR/boost

nope that's 11 points.

I like your second list better, but I can only see the ion torpedoes of being real meaningful value if you have the space to get behind/to the side of the enemy after they are ioned ----definitely a possibility, given boba's rear arc and guri's s-loop, but if for whatever reason you cannot use the torpedo on the initial pass or cannot get out of arc, it will likely be a waste (especially since boba mostly wants to be R1 and the torpedo is R2-3 if it is still in the tube after the first pass)

the 2nd list's guri is far more reasonable :P

agreed that the ion torps aren't coming into play

best you can do, apart from scrapping boba for some other ships, is the non-canon title and some seismics

I'd also replace k4 for recon. K4 is the absolute ****, but I think boba would appreciate the focus more for his ability (which is both offensive and defensive)

that star viper makes me nervous with how fragile it is. i like its manourverability but it needs durability with all those decimators, falcons, dash's and B-Wings out there.

I like what I see, but id need to test it.

Also, I would take Push the Limit off of Guri and replace it with Outmaneuver. Ships with the Boost action and the S-Loop dont really need Push the Limit in my personal oppinion. Ive actually done it a few times and playing those ships without PTL keeps them stress free for more maneuverability. Also, if running without PTL, I would suggest Fire Control System. Youre likely going to be using your action to boost alot so having that auto target lock is pretty nice.

ALSO. jk. i do say also alot tho.

it's not fragile at all. fickle green dice are fickle and green, but with focus they block an incredible amount of damage. Lathered on with auto-thrusters and the named pilots (Guri's ability letting her fully modify her attack with focus + predator and still keep focus for defense, Xizor basically giving him a free evade every attack provided your opponent ever shoots at him because there will always be a better target, so his ability basically makes him the anti-biggs), they're far more durable than your typical B-wing.

Yeah. I dunno, both ships are not durable tanks. You wish they were. Until you realize that 5hp 3green and 10hp 2green last only about 4 or 5 attacks.

the only ships that last longer are stupid fat turrets

not that I believe Firespray + viper can hold a candle against all matchups to turret + phantom/corran, mind. you just can't reproduce the number of rule-ignoring advantages a turret can boast and the viper can't hit has hard as corran's double tap (it's why predator + thrusters guri costs that same as naked corran)

What is Boba doing there that Kath wouldn't do better?

What is Boba doing there that Kath wouldn't do better?

AB and his ability at range one.

The idea with Ion Torps is to fire them on the first pass (and not have to use PtL thanks to K-4), so the enemy in ioned to close to range 1 and no where they're gonna end up so you can reliably block and shoot the ones you want. ASSUMING the first pass works, depending on what you're up against, it would pretty start an end game scenario right there. I'm definitely gonna replace PtL on Guri with Predator though.

I still can't find anything to replace ITs with (3 seismics instead??) so they're remaining in until something better other than a crazy amount bombs that I will probably never use. Replaced K-4 with RecSpec.
