Held off on Scum until now; what should I get?

By Marvingardns, in X-Wing

To get around it, try fielding them with autoblasters - it's a totally different way to fly them, and makes the ubiquitous IG88-B almost completely redundant, allowing you to try out combos of the others... C and D with advanced sensors is a lot of fun!

That sounds hilarious. I need to try this now.

I'd drop the second Aggressor as well, unless you really feel the need to run 2x. I've yet to fly all the fantastic squads I can build with 1x Most Wanted, 1x Y-Wing, 1x Aggressor, 1x YV-666, 1x HWK. There are TONS of great options there.

Unfortunately, most of the fun illicit upgrades come with the aggressor so two is still a good option, even if you don't play both at the same time.

I can't stress enough how happy I am that I bought 2 most wanted sets. As someone else said, being able to run any dual firespray list is great, and I have just as much fun with dual firespray lists as with dual aggressors. If you aren't in it for the Autothrusters, 1 StarViper is enough, I'm kind of annoyed that I bought 2 and haven't flown more than one.

You're most recent shopping list looks great, I would just have a second most wanted sitting in the back of your mind as a next purchase.

Huh? The Aggressor includes 1x Hot Shot Blaster (also included in Most Wanted), 1x Inertial Dampeners (also included in Starviper), 2x Feedback Array (rumored to appear in upcoming Punishing One expansion), and 2x Dead Man's Switch (unique to Aggressor so far). Unless you need more than 2 copies of everything, you don't need an Aggressor just for the illicits (if you also buy Most Wanted and Starviper, which it appears you plan to).

That said, if you plan to run a Z-95 Feedback swarm, you'll definitely need a few IG-2000s.

Just an FYI, if you want to keep on a budget, don't do a bug zapper swarm (7 z-95s with feedback arrays). That would require 4 most wanted boxes and 4 aggressors (or some punishing ones if that comes with feedback array).

That's $280 plus tax at MSRP. Definitely one of the more expensive squads out there. Even more expensive (I think) than buying a corvette just to run fat Han. Granted, you get a lot of other stuff, but it's mostly wasted after the second most wanted.

Edit: definitely more expensive than a traditional fat Han. For that you need the falcon, the corvette, 3 z-95s and either a defender/kihraxz (for predator) or a-wing (for push the limit). MSRP: $180 plus tax.
