So was playing around with some swarmy scum lists and came up with one that looks fun to fly. With wave 8 I wanted to focus on tractor beam but its kinda hard since it needs to be on a high PS pilot to get the most out of it (want to fly someone on to rocks BEFORE they fight or fly them into R1 of your guns to blow them away), however putting it on a high PS feels like a waste of points (who wants Boba to shoot a TB over primary!). This is is designed to aid with that.

Mux (19)

TLT (6)

MC (3)

Cartel Spacer (14)

Heavy Title (2)

Tractor Beam (1)

Pirate (12)

Feedback (2)

Marauder (20) x2

The idea is that Mux can single out a ship and drop it to PS 0 ensuring it shoots last. This let the Spacer at PS 2 to get a change to maneuver it into a no fire or at least favorable position. Will hopefully allow the less maneuverable Marauders get their guns lined up correctly. Then you got a feedback pirate being a feedback pirate.

Clearly a more favorable squad when facing small ships, but seems like it may be fun to fly nonetheless.

Firstly I like the idea of Scummy Swarms, I just can't figure out a list that really works all that well. Not enough synergy and the ships are not as good as imps.

Secondly not sure why you have Merc. Copilot on Torkil, with the TLT. MC only works on his primary as TLT cancels all damage and the hawk's have a crappy 1 primary which at range three will likely be evaded.

Using Mux to lower the PS of the enemy to zero is a definite mechanic I like and was planning on trying out myself. That said you'd need a higher PS pilot to plant that tb token even so, just so long as everyone else in your squad is below it.

Maybe swap the Merc. Cop. to Bossk to help out with your First TLT shot, and then lose the feedback array on the Z to upgrade the Cart. Spacer to a Tan. Point. Vet.?

Just an idea.

I meant MC as Moldy Crow, not the merc, as you mentioned, that would be odd. Moldy Crow isn't necessary, but a) I find it hard to not take the focus bank 2) its super fun to scream "THE MOLDY CROWWWWWWW" as you make shots with it.

Ahhh, ok, that makes slightly more sense. Yeah I have seen those just stated as "title" when they add a title, unless there are more than one. Sorry. Not sure the three points is worth the investment as with a TLT the percentage of rolling focuses will be much higher, meaning you are less likely to ever be able to bank them unless your opponent is flying all low agility ships. Screaming Moldy Crow at a bewildered opponent would possibly be worth the 3 points tho, imho anyways.
