Scum Wishlist

By Snaves146, in X-Wing

So, I know we are still really early into the the scum faction, and FFG is making all the iconic bounty hunter ships for scum before they make many of the obscure ones. I will note that most of these FFG is utilizing in their Edge of the Empire RPG and I feel theh should included most of these before making new designs. So heres a few I really hope FFG and Disney approve for production sooner rather than later:

Cloakshape Fighter, could have similar stats to the Z95 but be able to take a cannon and maybe slightly better hull.

Preybird-Class Fighter, I am really interested in this one mainly due to the fact that it could have a rear arc reserved exclusively for missiles since it was designed with a rear mounted concussion missle launcher and could have similar stats to the xwing and kihraxz.

Skipray Blastboat, I know I don't have to say much about this one cause I know everyone is wondering why this one has not been added yet but I thought I would include it in my list.

YV-929 Light Freighter, this little guy would be a really nifty one for both rebels and scum, and could be like the current YV-666 which has a 180 degree arc but this could be more of support ship than a kill'em all ship.

Scum Gozanti, yes I know they just announced the Gozanti as an Imperial Epic ship but I also want this for a Scum Epic that deals more with disabling enemy fighters instead of transporting around tie's.

Mandalmotors Krayt Gunship, Main reason for this is cause we need more mandalorian firepower in this game, I know they are not the great power they used to be like in the Old Republic but they still make some cool looking fighters.

So theres my little wishlist if FFG is listening like they tell us they do, what are your guys thoughts and do you have any other ideas for scum fighters from the beloved Star Wars Legacy era

Lando and Han crew cards

I want a Skipray badly, Imperial or Scum.

I'd love to see the Krayt Gunship, but I have a feeling that wave 8 will be the last of the old EU/Legends ships made for the game. With so a new movies every year on the way, Rebels, and that rumored Netflix series, there's going to be plenty of ships available that will be far more recognizable to the general audience that a stuff taken from 10-20 year old comics and video games.

Any and all prequel ships, starting with the most obvious probably, the v-wing.

Cloakshape Fighter, could have similar stats to the Z95 but be able to take a cannon and maybe slightly better hull.

It's more like halfway to a Y-Wing, but they may have out-niched it.


Preybird-Class Fighter, I am really interested in this one mainly due to the fact that it could have a rear arc reserved exclusively for missiles since it was designed with a rear mounted concussion missle launcher and could have similar stats to the xwing and kihraxz.

Absolutely gross, replace with Miy'til.

Skipray Blastboat, I know I don't have to say much about this one cause I know everyone is wondering why this one has not been added yet but I thought I would include it in my list.

first triple-faction ship tbh

YV-929 Light Freighter, this little guy would be a really nifty one for both rebels and scum, and could be like the current YV-666 which has a 180 degree arc but this could be more of support ship than a kill'em all ship.

this and the YV-330 are excellent-looking ships but basically unlikely to make it in. Larges pretty much have to have a (semi-iconic) title.

Scum Gozanti, yes I know they just announced the Gozanti as an Imperial Epic ship but I also want this for a Scum Epic that deals more with disabling enemy fighters instead of transporting around tie's.

only if it's the C-ROC version, otherwise fugly

Mandalmotors Krayt Gunship, Main reason for this is cause we need more mandalorian firepower in this game, I know they are not the great power they used to be like in the Old Republic but they still make some cool looking fighters.

can see it, but runs into title problem

I want to see Jabba the Hutt as a crew, but don't know how they could make it happen.

I agree we will probably not see anymore EU ships but I am hoping we will get some cool new scum ships from the new canon books, I heard that V-wings and the ep3 jedi interceptors were used by the Empire in Tarkin so it would be awesome to see them add thosd as scum ships

A Jabba crew card is destined for this game, if the most vile crime lord in the galaxy does not get put in here something is terribly wrong

For those keep with little faith that we'll get old lore ships after the new movies. Keep in mind that the movies will be alot slower to release then FFGs current rate of production. Also authors working on a established universe are rather notorious for rehashing ideas so I expect we'll see a return of alot of old designs.

Listed in order.

1. G1-M4-C Dunelizard

Basically a scummy defender(preferably not as bad) that has solid all round stats, a spot for cannons and/or missles, and a crew spot that could be swapped out for a Astromech with a 0 point title. Oh and don't forget the illicit slot, I hate when they give me a scum ship without one. :P This would give us a highly customizable slugger on a small base

2. ARC-170

Scum are known for use of old military surplus like the Z and Y, should have plenty of these things laying around after the clone wars. Functionally it would be the first small based fighter with a rear arc. This along with room for a crew member and ordinance should make for a rather interesting ship. It would be nice if it had a NTB-630 title so we could turn it into a dedicated bomber if we wished as well.

3. Vaksai

A small based speed demon, like its cousin the special K it would be light on upgrade slots but priced for value. Allows scum to finally get a ship with a green hard turn.

Honorable mentions to the Cloakshape & Skipray, I'd like to see both ships as some point but can't picture what role or unique trait they would have over other current options.

^The Dunelizard is more or less a B/X-Wing cross, its niche is closer to the Kihraxz but not totally invalidated by it so there's hope.

The Skipray has a TON of roles. It's a large ship with basically a kitchen-sink of upgrade slots, and would take some wierd special rules if FFG didn't want it going the way of the HWK.

M-12L Kimogyla, YT-2000

Scum Aces:

Starviper and Khiraxx alt paint schemes and better pilot abilities.

I don't know, what would you suggest to make it unique? Heavy fighters have a odd spot in X-wing IMO, the size of them generally puts them between a small and large base ship. I guess it wouldn't be the first time they smudged the dimensions a bit.

Perhaps give it high HP, 4 red die, and a absolute horrible boat of a dial with a lack of movement actions to even it out? It would seem to fit lore wise and would be something different.

The Skipray's 25m, it's DEFINITELY a large (Aggressor is like 20m).

I did actually attempt to work up stats for it:

  • 0V/2/4/6
  • FOCUS, TARGET LOCK
  • System, Cannon, Turret, Torpedo, Missile, Crew
    _/   /_
    _/   /R
_/R/W/R/_/_
W/W/G/W/W/_
_/W/G/W/_
Reference:
  • Primary Ion ("When you perform a primary weapon attack, each <hit> result deals 1 ion token to the defender, and each <crit> result deals 1 ion token and 1 damage card.")

100% down with your top three. Would love to see the Preybird's rear missile arc, and the Skipray has been a favourite since I first read the Zahn books. As for the Cloakshape, see my sig! :D

The Pursuer class, as seen in X-Wing Alliance. Comes equipped with titles (the Enkidu, Slave II) and everything (Viraxo pirates)

I REALLY want a Jodo Kast pilot card. Maybe with the canon Bounty Hunters out of the way he'll be shortly down the line.

I guess the problem is, in the EU, Kast's ship was a retrofitted Lambda... and FFG may be hesitant to hand the scum a Lambda. Still, not like they've put pilots in ships they never flew anyways. I'm sure they could find some excuse to get Jodo into the game.

I have to wonder how the Scum Line will be represented in the new films. No doubt starting from wave 9 on we are into the new film and its new ships.

Wild Karrde Epic Ship - Scum needs an epic and I need a Mara Jade crew card for scum

Blastboat - like many have mentioned this one not being out yet is a bit of a noodle scratcher. I'd love to see it come in an aces style pack with two ships and pilots for every faction

Dunelizard - someone at FF likes this ship because a minor villain piloted one in an SW:RPG adventure

Ghotric Freighter - the other iconic EU ship. who doesn't love flying space turtles

To be sure the FFG Bros are going to keep on doing a great job with whatever they produce... so I am on board regardless.

:)

Pumping out all the ESB bounty dudes in the span of 3 waves is awesome and then some. That's the core of scum as far was I'm concerned. Now we just need that Fett crew.

Now we just need that Fett crew.

Right next to the Dengar crew~

Obviously the scum Ace/Aeron Azzameen Cards for the YT-1300. Maybe a Sabra title to go along with them.

I would buy two YT 1300s just to field a pair of them, and them with Emon in bigger games.

Edit: I would also be okay with a YT2000 scum only ship that has those two pilots with an Otana title.
