I've yet to see the Punisher live to deliver all of its munitions. Just based on that I'd go with list 2.

I feel like Omega Leader and his two Ω buddies can present a viable threat to distract from Redline! That Punisher is terrifying, and will be even better when Guidance Chips drops, but he can be focussed down relatively easily. Use that to your advantage: bait and switch with Redline, then Boost the hell out of Dodge while the FOs sweep in for damage. Once your opponent is down a ship or equivalent, have Redline pull a nice big turn back in and let loose.

I would caution against 2-ship lists right now, they go down too easily against the various ~4 ship builds that are popular, never mind 5+ ships. Especially TLT chow like the YV. Bossk is great, and so is LW Scum Kath, but just those two would have a hard time I feel.

The biggest issueive ran into with either of these lists are aces

Any thoughts guys

Having used a similar list to your scum list it means you are quite vulnerable to fast arc dodgers or ships like Miranda with TLT.

Just my first impressions but A-wings with proton rockets will make short work of them leaving you to be picked off. I would consider trying to add another ship into the mix if you can free up the points.

Any other thoughts?

I feel this is dead on point.

Both lists look fun to fly but are fragile. The first might be better idk, although I feel the second has a higher ceiling if you have the pilot skill. Its also more subject to bad matches. I'd gravitate towards this one personally and it looks like a solid build.

I would lose lonewolf though personally. Too often these ships need to work in tandem to make it useful, at least until bossk goes down. predator would be better or else VI + k4 and consider some missiles (or VI + dengar soon!!). She could also really benefit from some bombs for when you lose bossk. A lone firespray really needs a trick or two to pull out the W. Thats really the difference with kath vs boba and why most prefer boba although kath is solid too.

People rave about outlaw tech but I've never been a fan compared to say gunner or unreleased/soon-released tech like 4-LOM.

Thats what I got.
