not too sure about bossk (crew)

I understand the synergy, but an intelligence agent with a boosting YV and two PS 1 Starvipers...

Had a chance to play this last night. I do agree about removing Bossk. He didn't trigger at all.

I crushed the Imperial list of 2 Advanced and a Defender with this list.

I also realize that Inertial Dampners are useless on a ship with a zero maneuver on the dial. I will remove Bossk and the Dampeners for a 3 drop Illicit. Suggestions?

If you are going to use Bossk crew then you really need Gunner to make him shine.

... Inertial Dampners are useless on a ship with a zero maneuver on the dial...

I disagree, especially if you have a higher PS. The real power of ID comes in that you can decide not to move after seeing where your opponent went. It also allows a YV-666 to not move for 2 turns in a row (Bossk with Adrenaline Rush could keep from moving for 3 consecutive turns).

If you are going to use Bossk crew then you really need Gunner to make him shine.

That would be a very different list. Also, Latts burns TLs to lower agility, not to modify her own dice. Bossk was more about reclaiming her TLs but she'd need to be assisting higher PS ships not PS 1 Vipers.

I would keep ID for the reasons WWHSD stated above. Intel agent would be great instead, as suggested. If that doesn't work you could maybe try Outlaw Tech over Bossk for when you drop the zero maneuver.

This is definitely a list I want to try. I am not list building as much as I used to, so this is a helpful starting point for me to utilize some of the new stuff.

I like the premise for this list. Similar to one I've run with Mando merc.

It is unfortunate that the prevalent decimators will care less about Lazlo but Fel will not be happy with her. Han & Chewie will fear her. Corran and Dash will face problems too. However, concentrated fire by higher PS will silence Razzi quickly. You will really have to leverage her escorts for key blocks or to attempt to draw fire.

While Razzi is cool for her ability, Bossk is a beast and could offer synergy with the two vipers also. See is variant:

Ok, Boss[k] - 100pts

Perhaps this leaves something to be desired but it is fun to give the vipers both information about enemy position as well as extra action. Bossk still gets 2 actions when he wants to with K4 & EI. Bossk doesn't have repositional ability which is not ideal, but his wide arc will be helpful. Could trade EI for ID & fins to give some repositioning options.

Bossk, Inertial Dampers and the Engine Upgrade.. that's 7 points. I wonder what you could put on the ship WITH THE CANNON SLOT that costs 7 points.... hmmm.

Fletchette cannon, baby and a 5 point initiative bid.

Here's my version. A lot more bare bones. It swaps out the Star Vipers for Kihraxi fighters. You lose an agility dice but save enough points to throw in a 4th ship, Serissu for the defensive reroll. Less fancy parts, more dakka.. okay, 2 more dice but still. The M3-A and Kihraxi have almost identical dials so they will fly formation.. taking advange of the target locks from Razzi.


Would rather have G1-A mist hunter ships... their dial is a closer match to the YV-666 but they're still a ways off.
