I've been thinking I'd like to run a list with two R4 Thugs plus a large ship, but there are a few options for that large ship. My first thought was:

IG-88B + Heavy Laser Cannon + Autothrusters + Fire Control System + Crack Shot (48)

Syndicate Thug + R4 Agromech (26)

Syndicate Thug + R4 Agromech (26)

The Thugs are steady damage (the R4 helps a lot IME) and tough, and the Aggressor runs away if threatened but flanks aggressively if you go after the Thugs.

Another option for those 48 points would be VI Boba:

Boba Fett + Veteran Instincts + Engine Upgrade + Glitterstim + Tactician (48)

Syndicate Thug + R4 Agromech (26)

Syndicate Thug + R4 Agromech (26)

He'd dive right into the enemy and count on his pilot ability and Glitterstim to survive while the Thugs pound away from the backfield. He's also well equipped to deal with aces with his PS 10 and Tactician.

Yet another option would be Daredevil Bossk:

Bossk + Engine Upgrade + Daredevil + K4 Security Droid + Tactician + Greedo (48)

Syndicate Thug + R4 Agromech (26)

Syndicate Thug + R4 Agromech (26)

Not quite as tough as Boba or IG-88B, but I've had good success using Bossk (amazingly) as an arc dodger with Daredevil. Even without a source of extra crits he hits like a truck, and he'd certainly create a good distraction for the Thugs.

Against common lists, does any one of these stand out as the best choice? Or are there other builds that would be even better?
