Scum and Villainy Podcast Episode 27: Preparing for Wave Late

By sozin, in X-Wing

Fun episode,i just wish you had talked a bit more about new wave8 lists (not just ships) as the title suggests. But its no big deal, im sure this will be covered in future episodes.

Indeed! Send us your fave new list and we might cover it on the next episode.

I'm at the moment trying to figure out what I like running the most with 2 37point Jumpmaster torpedo boats.

At the moment I like dual z95, In the end I want something that I don't mind being destroyed.

for our future ordnance overlords. or F.O.O. fighters... or as i have it named on the Squad forums... Kaptin K(agi). Rool

That looks like a variation of Sozin's Imperial A holes

i like the fact that they're all PS8, Kagi can Tractor them to make their small attacks hit harder/protect their flimsy shells by throwing people on rocks/ in to range 1. all while screwing with action economy. plus non tlt's will have a harder time taking down the shuttle upon the wave 8 release of reinforced deflectors.

can't download to my phone though, only seems to play on an in browser app - would love them to have downloadable episodes...

I download it to my Podcast app.

Which did you use? I'm on Android and when I go to the download it just starts playing in my soundcloud app, I like to download and then enjoy them when offline

I'm on iOS but in the past when I had troubles with other shows I downloaded to my browser and played it offline that way.

Have downloaded a podcast app and the 1St episode - will listen tonight!

Using podcast addict on Android, I needed to search for the podcast and subscribe again. I think there is an old feed that is now dead. Maybe that will help some that are having problems. Will be listening this evening.

This episode isn't showing up when I search for the podcast either. Makes me sad.

We're working with Team Covenant on this issue. We expect a resolution soon.

Did the podcast jump ahead for anyone else near the end? They were talking about a scum list then all of a sudden talking about a rebel list.

Yah, I noticed that asw ell

Hmm... don't remember a jump in the recording, but I listened to it on Patreon several days before the recording was released to the pod-feeds and then I only listened to the first half of the recording in my feed. There was a lot of extra stuff that was a lot of fun, but you have to subscribe to hear that stuff! Unedited rocks!

Patreon FTW!

Yes, there is a bit missing between the two list discussions.

If you like hearing me curse 50 times in hope I won't drop an unintentional F bomb during recording it's pretty great.

Just want to point out the Cargo Ship would be a useful ship since it basically puts stress on most opposing ships before they reveal their dial. It's action denial at its finest and has an ability that prevents higher PS opponents from setting a red maneuver. If also run it with accuracy corrector it would be able to get some offense. I'd probably run it with all PS 1-2 ships and make sure to move them before the cargo ship. Playing against it, it would be my highest priority target.

I think it's a little quick to write off the G-1A until we know it's generic's cost. However, they have to be conciderably cheaper than the bounty Hunter duo to be really viable. Of course scum does have great crew and that's a huge advantage they have over the B-wing.

I definitely got excited at the prospect of stressing the board

Quick give me the best list with a cargo ship!

FFG Cargo Ship

Tactician

Tansarii Point Veteran x3

Heavy Scyk Interceptor (Canon)

Heavy Laser Canon

99 Points... just for initiative trolling

Obviously, there is so much hate for the FFG Cargo Ship that the M3A Interceptors can just fly around at will taking out targets.

4-LOM, VI, Zuckuss, and Advanced Sensors

Black Sun Ace, Predator and Glitterstim

Black Sun Ace, Predator and Glitterstim

FFG Cargo Ship and Gonk

Should be 98 points

Edited by Wizzardx3

I think the ffg ship should have 2 illicit slots; one for feedback array and one for deadman's switch.

You know... that would make a great basis for a future ship... we haven't seen dual illicits yet...

list is 2-0 on vassal ATM.

vs Imp aces Fel Vader OL

vs Maximum Danger Zone

except with SJ and no tactical jammer.

too bad cloaking device is small ship only. seems like the boat stays cloaked since we're always wondering 'where is it?'

It's funny that scum seem to be becoming the faction defined by really efficient large based ships.

38 Slaver w/ Gunner, Bossk, Tactician.

34 Scout w/ Deadeye, ProtonT, EM, R4-agro, Guidance.

48 IG88B w/ [Any 1pt EPT], HLC, FCS, AT.

And that's just a few of the many builds for those ships. The Firespray is the only ship that's a bit lackluster, and even then all the pilots are solid, especially Boba. I feel it's more the Firespray's cost that lets it down.

To be fair my cursing is almost artful sometimes.

as a New Yorker cursing is as natural as blinking.... most times it happens without you noticing it.
