Going toe to toe with an imperial raider, what do you bring if you are skum?

Y-Wing???

Azzameen maybe, in his Firespray.

Or the IG-2000s. They share their special abilities, after all. If you have all 4, each one has all 4 special abilities.

One of the reasons I was pulling for the "Havoc" as a scum ship was that I feel that Scum needs a solid bomber style ship. Something like a ordinance haulers that the new wave 7 ships are offering to the Imps and Rebels.

The Y-wings are good, but have their short comings. Perhaps wave 9 will be kind to scum.

Scyks with Stealth Devices and Cluster Missiles. Preferably Tansarii Point Veterans for the PS5.

Y-wings are the obvious answer. You want a torpedo ship to make a run at a capital ship? Isn't that what the Y-wing was designed for?

Thematically, it doesn't make a ton of sense for scum to have a heavy bomber. Heavy bombers are typically parts of larger fleets and are used in coordinated assaults on fortified positions/ships. Scum is mostly a bunch of independent pilots focused on quick and easy money. While there are certainly exceptions of large scum fleets (Hutts, Black Sun), it just doesn't seem to match the feel of the scum faction to me.

That said, game balance will likely dictate that scum gets a ordnance-focused ship sometime soon.

Scum needs some sort of missile boat at this point, which is a sentence I never thought I'd write. The only ship capable of firing more than one missile in a round is a Firespray with the Slave-1 title and Extra Munitions. Otherwise, they rely heavily on Z-95s.

But as for dealing with the Raider, I don't see why you wouldn't field four IG-2000s with HLCs. They are well equipped to handle anything the Raider throws at them.

Torpedoes are the typical weapon for capital ships, not missiles. Just take a look at Torpedoes. The only one that isn't designed for large ships is Flechette Torpedoes. Plasma is for hitting things with lots of shields. Proton is for causing critical hits that cripple huge ships.

Y-wings can take 2 Torpedoes (or Extra Munitions on one). It's the obvious answer. There is no reason for Scum to get another ordnance platform when they have the Y-wing.

Drea, the other named Y-wing pilot, was designed to carry ordnance! Fire your Torpedo and keep your TL. Use it to modify dice....or keep it to fire your 2nd next turn.

I have hopes that they will release the Scurrg H6 bomber for scum faction. It is allready coming to Armada

Off the top of my head Scum have y-wing, firespray and ig2000 that can carry bombs, with a named firespray pilot specializing in bombs. That makes them better than rebels (y and k wimngs) and as good as imerials (bomber, punisher, decimator) for bomb dropping options and specialized pilots.
