Scum and Villainy Podcast Episode 28: Ghostbusters

By sozin, in X-Wing

Either way, it's still very much in contention, and ​should ​have been included in the F.A.Q. :)

It definitely needs to be clarified but I can understand DraconPyrothayan's interpretation.

I love Imperial March, but wouldn't the cantina music be more appropriate for S&V?

Knowing Ricky, he's probably been backstage watching holodramas being created with the future Mrs. Fel, Wynnsa Starflare, on Coruscant! During breaks he gets on the comlink to the guys floating out in space doing the "ship" work! Besides, who but Imperials name their kids Kelvan Tiberius anyway? He plays the Imperial March as "comfort music" to remind him of his rebellious days as a teenager.

I do miss the old days when Fett's Vette by MC Chris was the theme song...maybe ran into copyright issues?

Or the cool calypso-cantina version from Maz's place

I miss that song too, but we switched for copyright reasons. It felt more Scummy!

on this OL question, Latts and Kanan (pilot) both seem like they fit in the emperor category of other ships that can modify.

Latts nor kanan is a modification.

I looked for a really long time for creative commons licensed music with a star wars feel and this version of the imperial march was the best I could find. I do look around for time to time for something better and we might look into licensing or commissioning something that feels scummier in the future.

I miss Fett's Vette as well but Alex wants to prevent us from being sued. They can't get all that sweet sweet patreon money.

Hey guys, excellent episode. It was cool to see my list got a mention, it's a shame you weren't too keen on it :)

Since wave 8 is now out, I now have a Ghost list to share that actually features the Ghost:

33 Sabine w/ LW, TLT, Chewie, Phantom.
47 Chopper w/ ABT, AccCor, Leebo, Zeb, Ion Projector, Ghost.
20 Prototype w/ PRockets.

The Ghost with docked Phantom absolutely wrecks face, and can really mess up your opponents formations/aces. The prototype is excellent filler/blocker that can deal some hurt if ignored. The prototype can also be used to block the Ghost and stall it to throw your opponent off balance, a trick I take great delight in using. Finally Sabine with LW is probably one of the best endgame ships I've ever seen. In one game I was going toe-to-toe with Jake and still managed to hold my own.

Also I finally got my hands on the jumpmaster, and as predicted that thing is amazing. Are you guys intending to do an analysis of it in the future? With the U-boat now a thing I think Wes and Biggs are poised to make a comeback.

maybe, uh, just a little :-)

I guess I was surprised by the 3-second dismissal of our squads. Silly me.

I sorry if you felt dismissed :-( I think both of your squads are interesting and strong. I think the reason they breezed past it was because we had a bunch of stuff to cover and they were trying to power forward.

Yeah, the plan is to jump all over that topic in the next cast. Might even be the centerpiece topic!

Puns aside. The Jumpmaster is definitely something that needs discussion.

Pack it up, pack it in.

Let me begin:

I came to win --

Battle me? That's a sin.

I won't tear the sack up

(Punk you'd better back up).

Try and play the role, and the whole crew will act up!

Just listened to this today. Not bad.

However, you guys need to have a party and watch the actual show. Ricky in the past you always mentioned correct name and how to say it, and corrected others when they were wrong. It hard to listen to a show when someone continually says a name incorrectly.

Cannon. OMG. Please no. Also Ezra is a boy, And Sabine, please Sab ine. Not SAb in.

Jeez. How am I supposed to believe your expertise when you haven't even watched the show or even come close to pronouncing names.

Seriously guys, Binge watch. Could you image if Football broadcasters couldn't pronounce peoples names correct. It would be pathetic, which is what some of this show was.

From now on I'm going to start calling Luke . LOOOO KU or Darth Vader Dart Vador

Come one guys, I love your show, but do some analysis before hand. It's not that hard.

Just in case you haven't experienced the glory of Dengar as a torpedo boat:

45 Dengar w/ Deadeye, ProtonT, EM, Recon, R4-agro, Chimps.

You shoot a Proton Torpedo at your opponent at PS9. He's rather unhappy and shoots back at Dengar, who then immediately fires another Proton Torpedo right back at them. Your opponent is sad. That's a lot of damage dealt in only one round of shooting, and now Dengar is free to get R1 and further punish his opponents. Punishing one title is an options, but I feel if he can get in R1 and stay there with his white sloop, then he doesn't really need it. He is the one ship I'd consider putting Deadman's switch on though.

So Zeb is the chick right?

Funny

Funnily enough, I watched the first episode of the show in a while just today! So good.

Jeez. How am I supposed to believe your expertise when you haven't even watched the show or even come close to pronouncing names.

To be fair, our emphasis is generally more on crunch than on fluff. We loves ourselves some Star Wars, don't get me wrong, but I think a lot of our background is EU. I keep meaning to catch up on Rebels and Clone Wars, but real life and X-wing keep getting in the way :-)

There are always people who pronounce things wrong... Some do it because they don't know better... Some to have more to argue about.

For interesting Boba lists that "get him to trigger" and "need him to trigger" for success:

Palob+ moldy crow+ blaster+ marksmanship+ boba + glitterstim

Kaa'to Leechos+ bodyguard+ chips+ Procket

4LOM + rec spec+ rage + fire control system

Pirate

99pts

(Drop missiles from Leech for EI on Palob if you really want to go all in). I like that Leech can steal tokens from either ship and can actually contribute offensively or just be a bodyguard (typically a terrible idea but it's a 2pt hull/sheild here). Room to shuffle a little here and there but yah...weird and scummy Boba Crew list. It's hard to do more than Bossk+ calculation or mangler (or both) since there aren't a lot of solid crew slots outside of YV-666s.

I'm a little late, but anyways: Thanks for covering my list! I have so far only played two games with it, against an Inquisitor/Rhymer/Punisher list. Moving before Rhymer, I did not get much use out of Hera's ability or the Autoblaster Turret, but still won both games 100-0. Juke is Ok on Sabine - it probably does less damage than Predator, but has the added benefit of possibly stripping Focus tokens. I don't play well enough for Lone Wolf, I always have a hard time keeping my Lone Wolf ship at range of the others. The A-Wing did some great work, including a crucial block that made both the Punisher and Rhymer bump, leaving them without an action and thus the prerequisites for firing their ordnance.

I'm going to swap Accuracy Corrector for Fire Control System and Juke for Predator. We'll see how that goes. If the Aces meta sticks around, Chopper/Zeb may be better than Hera.
