I like the possibilities of y-wings right now. you would probably get the same results with rebel, but i thought i would give scum a try finally.

List #1

Syndicate Thug X4

BTL-A4

TLT

Unhinged Astromech

List #2

Syndicate Thug X3

Blaster turret

BTL-A4

R4 Agromech

Engine Upgrade

Binayre Pirate

Which list would have the most success in the current meta?

I think I like the second list better except for the fact that you can't use the blaster turret any turn you have used the engine upgrade. If you are okay with proxies (or have bought enough Ghosts) I'd say try it out with dorsal turrets. The first list is pretty jousty, but I think you will end up getting PS killed before firing by the new jousty hotness, triple torpedo jumpmasters.

Yeah engine upgrade would be a bad idea, but i will look into dorsal turret

And what do you think about going with blaster turret, R4, BTL-A4 and hull upgrade?

Not sure if hull is worth the points.

With only 1 agility, no its not (more often than not, such ships are 'over-killed' anyway, meaning that the 1 extra hull doesn't allow the ship to actually live longer)

I personally.don't like the title on thug lyfe lists. As a long time scum player we were sorely lacking turrets and I had more use with out locking them to the front.

I'd also recommend looking at dorsal turrets. Probably the best turret for the price. I ran one on Kavil and he was a beast, 4 dice at range 1 out of arc.
