So, the Boba crew card was one of the most hyped things about wave 8 prior to release but talk of it has mostly died out now that it is actually here. Now that we've seen it in action what does everyone think of it? What ship do you like it best on? Did it live up to your expectations?
Boba Fett - Three Weeks Later
He destroyed a homing missile on a Rebel corvette during an epic game. That alone made him worth his pay!
I have only come up against it once and the guy didn't get to use it. At 1 point it is well costed and it should see good use.
The biggest sadness imo is that so few ships in scum have a missile slot and a crew slot because boba crew + advanced hominy missile makes me all sorts of excited. Against low agility ships it's basically free to peel off their upgrade of your choice. Most of the local meta doesn't play scum though and my current scum list is too busy messing with railgun Zuckuss to hang out with boba crew.

Why not both? Zuckess' ability makes him one of the more reliable ways of triggering Boba.
mmmmm... Advanced Hominy Missiles.
At the last SC I attended he ejected R2D2. I know he Ejected 2 R2D2 that day.
I'm of the opinion that Boba crew was intended to boost the YV-666 (like Zuckuss and 4-LOM) - the Bossk version in particular.
Until we see more YV-666s on the table, I don't think Boba will see much play.

It does but the 'railgun Zuckuss' I referred to uses expose, experimental interface, and advanced sensors. It really wants k4 as crew for rerolls rather than Boba for a 1 time discard.

Gritty
I've been running Fett on a Contracted Scout with Proton Torpedoes. He doesn't always get used but when he does it can be a game changer. Being able to kill Kavil's turret or Dash's canon is priceless.
Edited by WWHSDI've done 5 games with him and he only got used twice I think. Both times to remove a TLT.
For one point no risk in running him. Especially on a YV.

better drop the orndnance tubes card
SUDDENLY THE MISSILES ARE ONE USE ONLY
MWAAHAHAAHA
There is not much discussion because i wouldnt know a single person who doesn't think its a great card. And for 1pt you simply can not go wrong by putting this on a ship even if it doesnt trigger every game.
Played a game where boba made the punishing one a whole lot less punishing. The crit that was flipped also reduced the attack dice. Dengar is a whole lot less scary when he goes from rolling 3 dice to rolling one dice.
Wasn't he used in the final of the hoth open?
I'm still waiting to hear about a Palpatine assassination.

It happened at Hoth. I wasn't overly paying attention to the live stream as I prefer having commentary, but I'm pretty sure I overheard a palp ace player mention how he's not used to being palp-less.

He was on the list. I recall him using it in a previous round for sure.
Well, the main problem is that it requires TEH STARS TO ALIGN RIGHT, F'HTAG'N!
in other words, the moment you DO put a crit on it, it's already more than a half down.
And adv homing missiles are costly and require all too many variables (especially range, yeah) to be a combo-esuqe card
still, great for Epic.
had him on a proton torpboat
opponent rolled 2 evades on every naked evade roll
chucked him out for Zuckuss
never looked back

It's a 1pt upgrade, would you stop whining for once in your life?

Throwing an Advanced Homing Missile on a YV-666 isn't such a bad idea I think, especially if you don't care for the EU.
Add Boba and you've got a pretty good card up your sleeve for Palp Aces and a bunch of other lists.

It's a crew slot.
That could have been a glorious K4 security, trolltastic 4Lom or Zuckuss.
If it gets pulled off once in a while, good. But definitely not a build-defining card and not a mainstay.
