Here is a list I am tinkering with. My idea is to keep the upgrades to a minimum and keep the value high. Nothing too complicated here. The IG-88 is as durable as a fully upgraded IG-88, but this one only costs 38 points. The Slaver is also bare bones with just the Outlaw Tech. I think the 0 red, and the 2 turn red are probably his best moves, and thus the Outlaw Tech should proc several times. Talonbane with Glitterstim is the hammer. His PS 9 can compete with most lists. This list has a high amount of shields and hull. It has decent firepower with it's three attack die ships. I think if it is flown well it might be pretty solid. Any thoughts / suggestions?

IG-88C (36)
Autothrusters (2)

Trandoshan Slaver (29)
Outlaw Tech (2)

Talonbane Cobra (28)
Glitterstim (2)

Total: 99

Outlaw Tech is amazing on the YV. I'd be interested to see how this list fares. I want to like Talonbane, but everytime i've used him he gets shot out of the sky real quick. I think he could be great in this list when the next wave comes out. Swap out the glitterstim for the cloaking device and add in maybe crackshot or calculation.

Until wave 8, I think this list would work better with two slavers

I've used talon bane twice and he's done some damage but has always been my first loss. I think he's a bit too easy to swat.

He sure is. But it depends on how much damage he dishes out before going down. If you get one good range 1 shot in, he might be worth it depending on what he hits.

In the original list, I would add Crack Shot to him. Alternatively, as mentioned earlier, drop him in favour of another slaver w/ outlaw tech.
