Quite the mouthful, but also quite the ship! How do you guys like to run em? I'm lovin the BSA with Glittercrack personally.
And how about Bossk? Did he and The Zuck ever work together or were they rivals? Would the YV-666 pair well with the Mist Hunter or is that like red wine and fish?
they did work together more than once
They hung out on the executor. Would have worked out better if Bossk hadn't taken off his shoes...

Politeness is its own reward!
One guy at my FLGS runs 5 naked Cartel Marauders. Surprisingly nasty.
Bossk & Zuckuss did run together a few times but Bossk hated Zuckuss & Zuckus didn't trust Bossk. Scum at it's finest!

Good guests remove their shoes to no track n the carpet.
5 Cartel Marauders here, very cool list, limited, but at least it's a lot of red dice to throw around.
Kihraxz Fighter: Black Sun Ace (23)
Crack Shot (1)
Inertial Dampeners (1)
That's how I like to run them... Ship is one of my favorites.
Black sun ace is fun. Crackshot is nice for damage boost, glimmerstim too makes them nasty. Heck, even put expert handling on one for BR and TL removal the last two games and it was pretty solid in 2 different 25pt furballs.
I love Talonbane Cobra. I don't care if he's a glass cannon. He's a very fun glass cannon.
I run him with EU, to give more options to close to range 1, and Predator, to get a re-roll(s) without stressing him out with PTL.
The white one turn has surprised my opponents more than once. I imagine that's going to go away as I fly Khiraxz more in my FLGS meta.
Rolling 5 hits, while statistically doesn't happen very often, people remember when it does, so I find Talonbane to have a bit of intimidation factor as well.

Bossk and Zuckess did have a few EU (now legends) comics where they worked together.
im gonna be interested to see if cloaking device will help cobra out.

The Hound's Tooth and the Mist Hunter both kind of do the same thing though, assuming the latter's dial is as limited as the ship's cost make it out to be.

Well the Stygium Particle Accelerator that came with the TIE Phantom doesn't have any ship-type restrictions on it, unlike the Advanced Cloaking Device. So it is a way to perform some free Evade actions on some of your Scum pilots that normally can't perform one!
It is 2 points less than Engine upgrade too.

Yeah but he can't stay at range three forever and a smart opponent will have him down before he gets to range one.
Don't invest too much into him.
Hard to pronounce; around here it's called the K-fighter though I personally pronounce it "Kick-ass".
Best upgrade: Glittercrack.
Best pilot name: Talonbane COBRAAA!!!!!!!!
One guy who plays at our FLGS from time to time painted his up in a GI Joe Cobra theme. Coolness ...

I dunno, if you have a target lock and Glitterstim on it seems to have a decent chance. I loved it when he first came out and people thought Soontier could 1-on-1 him at range 1 when he has Crackshot.
It's like someone gave their HWK steroids...
But on to the YV and G1... what is the deal with the YV for real? Is it a rust can or what? It does seem a little soft from what I've seen, but then again I've not flown it myself yet so...
What's the deal with the G1 then? Do we have a review on it yet or any write-ups?

You've been Bossk'd!
The quote in my signature comes from the comic about the Yavin Vassilika. Zuckuss and Bossk team up in that one.
As for Kihraxz, I like Talonbane with Predator, but you need to keep him alive since he has a big target on his head. I flew him with Proton Rocket Scyks and my opponent felt like he had to take those down first, so Cobra lived a while longer.
Ha! Yes, that's awesome. I forgot you had that gem of a sig.
I'm sold.

I'm new here... What does "On the Boat" mean? How long does that take? My store has Gozantis, they're $90 CAN. Does that mean the Mist Hunter will be coming soon?

(only being half-sarcastic)
"on the boat" means it will arrive. just not in the near future, but in a time far, far away. FAR FAR AWAY.
I suspect FFG to use "Ben Hur Inc" for transportation, possibly to cut down costs (or simply because they have a soft spot for the old geezer).
takes a while longer than a diesel-burning-engine, but seems to arrive none the less:
