Mist Hunter Leaked!

Looks like the PS 3 generic (Ruthless Freelancer) is 23 points while the PS 5 generic (Gand Findsman) is 25 points with an EPT.

Also, the Dual Upgrade rules card:

I think that just leaves the JumpMaster to get into the wild (and just one new Salvaged Astro left to be revealed there).

Will the PS3 Generic find room in anybody's list when a TLT Y-Wing is roughly the same cost and HP?

Just curious how other people feel about it.

I think it could still see some play simply due to the system + crew slot combination. Also, the G1A should make a perfect damage sponge for Xizor.

So it is exactly a Scum B wing +1 PS +1 Crew slot (B/wing mod) for a discount of 1 point. plus the choice of scum crews and illicits.

It's a B-wing when no one is playing B-wings. I don't see this ship getting much usage with the new meta upcoming.

So it is exactly a Scum B wing +1 PS +1 Crew slot (B/wing mod) for a discount of 1 point. plus the choice of scum crews and illicits.

It also trades the Barrel Roll action for an Evade action, and loses the cannon slot.

The PS3 is a 3-attack ship that shoots at PS3.

A squad of four of these has a pretty good chance at burning down a Y-Wing before it ever gets the chance to shoot, especially if you load them up with crew members like 4-LOM, Zuckus, Boba Fett and Greedo, plus Electronic Baffles or Inertial Dampeners.

I'd fly 4 w/ Outlaw tech.

Or fly 4 of the Findsmen w/Adapt to make them PS 6.

it will be interesting to Dampners Then baffle the stress and take an action. White Stop for 1 damage? i like it.

I'm tempted by the thought of triple Gand findsman, sensor jammers and juke. Do you think you've got enough focus tokens for that?

...especially if you load them up with crew members like 4-LOM, Zuckus, Boba Fett and Greedo...

"The Filthy Four".

Not too shocking.

Juke + Sensor Jammer is intriguing on these. But I'd probably go FCS so you can evade all day long but still have something to modify your attack dice.

Primarily I see the PS 3 as a cheap way to bring Boba, Greedo, or even a tactician.

Gand Findsman + Calculation + Boba Fett = 27 points

Love this influx of PS5 w/ EPT for Scum. Lets them compete "between the numbers" really well. Kihraxz, Scyk, Firespray, and G-1A generics, plus Guri and Palob.

I'm thinking one of these with Predator and FCS is a nice 30 point ship that'll punch way above its weight. If you want, toss the title on for a 1 point barrel roll.

Yep, alongside 2 Contracted Scout Jumpmasters.

25 points left for upgrades!

It's a B-wing when no one is playing B-wings. I don't see this ship getting much usage with the new meta upcoming.

Sable Gryphon said exactly the same on the latest podcast. Basically dead on arrival. I find that sad as it's such a unique looking ship. But then I've been flying a dual Black 8 Punisher list in league lately, so I'll probably love it.

I think this is going to be where the generic Mist Hunter lands: it's an inexpensive toolkit that lets you combine crew and EPTs, with an acceptable level of offense and durability.

I don't know if the generic Mist Hinter is really going to take off, but I'm glad it exists. A few players will putter around with it, and it will appear occasionally in lists that can use something it brings to the table at this price point... and then he meta will change and all of a sudden we'll need jousters again.

I love Scum. I love B-Wings. This sounds great.

I believe the ebb and flow of the meta, along with FFGs revisits to ships, will prove that while this ship may not be too popular initially, it will find it's place in time.

It kills me that SableGryphon, noted advocate of chalky star elephants and TIE Bomber squads at Worlds, is already naysaying a ship before it's even officially released.

I think the Evade action is going to make the Mist Hunter a bit more durable than the B-Wing is.

With the alpha strike meta bwings might be back. Also the mist hunter can simply out PS its main rival, the TLT Y. I dont know why you guys are being so negative.

23 points ouch. I was hoping 20-22 you know B-wing range but this is a lot more than a B-wing. Sorry Scum players, you are getting jipped. :(

It is 1pt more for +1PS and the EPT slot. Sounds about right, they couldnt have made it cheaper than the Bwing without upsetting a lot of people.

Nah, we get an evade and (for me) slightly better slots for that price.

I'm all for this ship!
