Anyone care to take a stab at what Epic Scum ship will be revealed at GenCon?
My best guess: Action Transport, and something entirely new.

It better darn well be announced before GenCon!
(And I'm hoping for Jabba's Star Jewel.)
I still think the Suprosa.
The reasons I think this are the warhead points seen on the gozanti, so diamond boron epic only warheads and the Suprosa.
Won't be the first ship from SOTE.
Also, IT DIRECTLY KILLT THE BOTHANS THAT DIED TO GIVE US THE INFORMATION!!!!
Edited by DariusAPBI have gone on record, and stand by it, that Jabba's ship is one I could do without.
A conversion kit for both the GR-75 and Gozanti and an Action IV Transport. That would make me a happy puppy.
Minstrel Class Yacht (aka Jabba's ship)
and
Action IV
Whatever Scum Huge comes out, I hope it carries a metric crap-ton of cardboard to refit all the current Huge ships (minus the Raider) into the Scum faction. Four Huge ships in one!
I would love to see Talon Karrrde in the game but why in the diggity did they make his ship look like a dustbuster?
Not a huge fan of the Star Jewel either. Just cuz it belongs to Jabba, it don't need to look like his sail barge?
I guess my vote is for another original creation. Need something to act as a gunship and I don't have a good candidate that fits.

Never heard of the Mobquet Medium Transport (aka Suprosa) before but after a quick Google I would actually prefer that to the Minstrel.
That with Action IV and some YV-666's would look cool as a fleet.
Hmmm. Never heard f the Suprosa either (couldn't get past the asteroid level on Shadows of the Empire). I prefer it to the Action IV, but I think I'd still rather have the Minstrel-class Yacht. It's the only design I'd prefer flying in Epic instead of taking 4 IG-2000.
C-ROC model Gozanti Transport and maybe Star Jewel. The C-ROC gets alot of screen time in the Rebels cartoon and there's at least one known title for it,the Broken Horn. Only question is is it distinctly different enough from its older brother the regular Gozanti? Maybe not, in which case Action IV it is.

I doubt that if scum does get two epic ships like the Imps and Rebels that they would be announced or released at the same time. Neither the GR-75 and CR-90 nor the Raider and Gozanti were. I would really like to see a scum epic ship and hope they announce one soon. As for what ships will be used, one of the Action Series transports is possible/likely based on the ships size and prevalence of tie in material. As for a purely combat ship, the Interceptor class frigate is also possible.
The Star Jewel is my hope.
A Minstrel-class would make sense. Star Jewel and Dragon Pearl for titles, Jabba for a two-slot crew, dockable Z95s, turbolaser batteries.
But part of me still feels like they'll mine Rebels for it, simply for product tie-in, which I think we can all agree that The Mouse is very good at doing.
And length wise, Wookiepedia has it at 160m, compared to the Tantive IV of 150m, so that'd work out (if it's 1/400 scale if I recall) to about 40cm long. Big, but not too big.
Action VI, Per. Lux. 3000 and C-ROC are the most likely currently, I wouldn't mind mind the minstrel - there is a chance for more pirates in TFA as well.
I'm calling it right now: range 4 missiles or torpedoes, huge ship only ![]()

I hope so. Although I think it would be fun to load them on Punishers or K-wings for Epic games only.
Would be crazy but how about a range 4-5 missile that does not hit that round but instead you place a token on the ship. At the start of the next combat round, you roll for damage. Simulates a long range shot allowing the defender time to "brace for impact" or evade to try and dodge the missile.

Already called. Twas one of my hypothesis threads from the day Gozers EPIC cards (the ones for warhead hardpoints) was spoiled. Fairly sure I'm not the first either.
Edited by DariusAPBMinstrel is probably the most iconic (and ties in with the already released Hwk-290) followed up by the Action VI. I wouldn't say no to conversion kits for the CR-90, GR-75, and Goze either...
GR-75 with scum mods. With Tubes.... To carry all the spice.

A-AKA a barrel and 2 bricks.
Pretty hideous if you ask me.
Love or Loathe the Star Jewel I just can't see FFG passing up the chance to add The Mighty Jabba to the game
Edited by FunkletonWouldn't say no to the also iconic BFF-1 bulk freighter, courtesy of the X-wing/TIE Fighter series.

That would be rad.

The Action VI however, is canon...
I wouldn't call the Star Jewel iconic, I had to dig deep to remember that single level in Dark Forces.

Star Jewel is the one from Dark Forces right?
OH YEA : Just looked it up, thats the one for sure from Dark Forces.
THIS ship for sure should be created.

Also, this ship needs Tractor Beam to hold enemy HWK's in place......Just saying......

The Star Jewel has been on my mind for a long time. I got Risk: Star Wars Original Trilogy Edition back in 2007 or so. In that game, there are three factions (Rebel, Empire, Hutts) and each faction has 3 different starship tokens: Fighters, Bombers, and Capital Ships.
The empire has TIE Fighters, TIE Bombers, and Star Destroyers.
The Rebels have X-wings, Y-wings, and Nebulon-B Frigates.
The Hutts have Aggressors, Firesprays, and Minstrel-class yachts.
That game's ship tokens probably have a lot to do with why I feel that the Star Jewel is so essential to a Scum epic fleet.
