Scum needs Huge ships

By sohanidevi, in X-Wing

What are the possibilities of getting the wild kardde and the star jewel for scum huge ships? Something so that the scum can compete on that level. Can't think of many better options for huge scum ships.

I expect that we will see one soon, hopefully they will announce one when they reveal wave 9. The C-ROC is another likely scum huge ship as it has shown up several times in Rebels.

In the meantime just throw scum crew on a CR-90 or Gozanti and use that. They are pirates after all....

I might say that Scum has the best selection of large ships to choose from so there need for a huge ship is diminished. Besides, where else are you going to fly all four IG-88s?

While diminished the desire is still there. I'd expect one but what has been debated many times and when is anybody's guess.

Why an epic ship for scum? Seriously. They have more then enough bounty hunters to vaporize epic ships. ???

Instead of all 4 IGs, my new epic list i want to try is all 6 bounty hunters in their ships. 4-LOM rides along as crew on the mist hunter with zuckuss pilot, the rest all piloting their individual ships, titles on all of them. After equipping upgrades, I had 50 points left so i went ahead and added a second IG.

Some of us would rather have *new* epic ships for scum, instead of just reskinned versions of existing ones (gr75, or cr90, or gozanti)

Easy house rule: make the CR-90 and Gozanti available to scum. These were canonically also used as civilian vessels, so they would not be out of place in a pirate fleet. The unique crew are already faction-specific, so you won't have silly things like Moff Tarkin working for Scum.

The Scum faction needs the (Zann Consortium) Skiprays and Interceptor IV Frigates:

I would rather see a ship I can actually connect to the movies. Jabba is an iconic character, meanwhile many star wars fan does not even know who the hell the Azzameens are. Based on how FFG released the ships of bounty hunters appeared in the Empire, adding Jabba's ship to the game would make a lot of sense.

Talon Karrde isn't the hottest bounty lord either, so the Wild Karrde is off the table if we're going that way. And Emon is already in. At the very least, there's a connection for those who play X-Wing already.

The Star Jewel will probably be the first huge ship, though, and with merits.

The Wild Karrde would also come with scum Mara Jade crew, and possibly Z95 pilot. Mara already being in game gives it just as much connection as Emon. And I'd bet the Wild Karrde is probably more recognizable than the Vasudra. I'm guessing more people will have read the books than played x-wing alliance (Heck, _I_ played x-wing alliance back in the day but mostly just flew around in skirmish mode and didn'tr eally play the campaign).

It would be totally cool to see Jabba as crew, or Boushh and Bib Fortuna.

I think a Hutt ship would be the best as Jabba and other Hutts are easily the most recognizable crime lords from the universe for those who follow it casually (like me).

Yes yes yes, Give us the Wild Karrde please

So. What small ship do you think would be packaged with it?

If you are talking about the Star Jewel, than it would be a Z-95 with Star Jewel Guard painting.

Got a temporary solution HERE.

I agree fully that Zann Consortium should make an appearance in the huge ship and the Interceptor IV would give us some awesome ordinance based hard Points. But my personal vote would go to the Crusader-Class Corvette which would fill a similar role to the CR-90 (although probably too similar) and give us the laser point defense system (maybe spend 1 energy from the card to make an ordnance shot targeting it automatically miss). Maybe include a patch to the StarViper following the Zann theme with a generic title or buzz droids.

The other week I also had the rough idea for Tyber Zann crew.

Tyber Zann (unique), Scum Only, Crew, 5pts(?)

At the start of the combat phase, chose an enemy ship within range 2(?) and it is considered yours for attacking purposes until the end of combat then discard this card.

the idea plays off his bribe mechanic in Empire at War so you pay the enemy ship to fire on a friendly. It might be a bit powerful as for that round it removes a threat to you and adds one to them, hopefully the cost and discard balances it, maybe reduce the range to 1 for "privet communications".

Wild Karrde is an Action Transport which also happens to share a striking similarity to that Interceptor frigate.

Looks to me like if they make it an Action Transport they've already got a couple titles they could easily give it to represent either the Wild Karrde or that Frigate.

If you are talking about the Star Jewel, than it would be a Z-95 with Star Jewel Guard painting.

So the Scum Aces could have the StarViper (cartel paint) and HWK(black sun paint). But the Z-95 would be OK with me as long as I get Jabba.

I was hoping for two Scyks with Alt paint (reverse cartel scheme) to come with the Star Jewel along with re-purpose gear for the GR75...

I can't say how much I don't want a reskined GR-75 as the scum huge ship, it was fine with Most Wanted as it was to give them the initial boost in ships to make them competative, but if they do it with a huge ship then either they'll get 3 huge ships when they eventually get their own (I'm sure each faction will get a 3rd later anyway with maybe the DP20 Frigate For rebels) or a fair number of scum players will feel short changed for not getting one of our own recognizable support ships like the much demanded Wild Karrde/Action Transport.

That is an excellent idea, Action Transport as the base ship with a printed arc like the Gozanti and have Wild Karrde and Interceptor IV as titles to make them more combat oriented. Definitely have a few support role titles as well.

I also really would love to see the Otana make it into the game. But, it's in the YT family of freighters (YT-2000) and would more than likely fall into the "Large ship" category.

There are so many options that.I only want a Huge. Please give us one, as soon as posible. I am a big fun of Epic play, and Epic with no Huges is...incomplete experience
