Do you ever think we'll see Scum pilots for the YT freighters? To me it always seemed like they'd be a natural fit. Han, Chewie, and Lando were essentially S&V before S&V were cool... if not Scum & Villainy then at least Scoundrels and Vagabonds.
Scum YTs
No; thematically they're very appropriate, but in terms of gameplay they wouldn't really add anything. It also runs the risk of homogenizing factions further.
Would be pretty easy to add to a Square Dish falcon set- say a Rebel Smuggler (to replace Outer Rim smuggler with a better baseline generic) and Ace Azzameen, (Resistance) Rey and Finn , then (Scum) Outer Rim Scoundrel, DuCaine, Aeron Azzameen, and Unkar Plutt for scum.
More likely we will see a redone Millennium Falcon with a square sensor dish featuring Finn, BB-8 and Rey from the Resistance. Can't argue with you're reasoning, however.
One thing I would really love to see is all-faction ships. Maybe 1 ship and 6 pilot cards, 2 for each faction.

So at this point.... TIE fighter?

I wish we had the Otana...
There are very few things related to this game that I will say this about, but: Scum YT-1300: DO NOT WANT!
In casual games run the generic pilots with Scum crew. Allow it to equip Illicit Upgrades. Something to play around with. That being said I don't see a need for Scum YTs and I don't think they fill a niche demand.
I don't know if the old list is up here but it has been asked before.
However with the pilots there should be 2 unique pilots with ORS stats and I think Lando could be the cross over with same stats point value but a scum pilot ability.
scum yts:
Forget scum YT's, is that an optimus prime themed ghost? I need moar pics!
More scum YT's [and VCX ] using the ORS, WSF & Lothal Rebel:

Not unheard of. . .it could get Sabine's Lothal paint job. . .
And if the point is to maintain faction "purity," call them Epic Ships, which more or less means "not suitable for tournament play."

I ran an Imperial Corvette for a year before the Raider came out, doing just this.
If we were going to see a YT for Scum, I would far prefer see the Otana/YT-2000 than either of the freighters we have already seen for Rebels.
We could finish up the set of X-Wing characters, with Maarek Stele and Keyan Farlander already having been given pilot cards, it would be good to see Ace Azzameen on the field too.
I'm not sure how you could make the YT-2000 feel different to the other PWTs at this point. FFG have done a great job of making the Falcon, Outrider, Punishing One and Decimator all feel very different on the field. It's noted for having heavier weapons and shields than previous YT models, but a 4-dice PWT just seems like something that shouldn't exist. Any extra firepower is probably best represented through secondary weapons or pilot abilities.
Perhaps the Otana title could give a Gunner-esque effect with an equipped Turret modification?
We could finally see all the different Azzameen family members turning up to join Emon (Assortedly as crew and pilots, presumably. There were a few of them) along with their droid Emkay.
But really, I'd hate to see Scum running a YT-1300 that is essentially the same as what the Rebels are fielding. Give me something different if you're giving me a YT-series.
Scum should get the otana but never the falcon.
Scum should get the otana but never the falcon.
Lando<scum> can have the Falcon stats. As for titles the otanna should do something powerful that doesn't raise the firepower value but is restricted to firepower 2 ships.
There Are many YT's they can pick from for Scum.
but.....
Most of them already are in some way aren't they ?
Han & Chewie were working for Jabba as Smugglers before giving a ride to Luke & Obi wan.
Thus, they would be Scum & Villainy Before joining the Rebellion.
Same with Lando.
Or go back Further Into the Falcons past for instance. when it was called the " Corell's Pride, the Fickle Flyer and Meetyl's Misery "
and the many Hundreds ships and variants of the YT 1300 Class.
Then there is Dash in his YT2400.
He was Hired by the Rebellion at the time of Shadows of the Empire.
A known Smuggler.
So in some way, Doesn't that make most of the YT Class ships and many other Transports fall more Into the category of Scum than Rebel ?
There are a Lot of Ships Used by the Rebellion, But Many many more in the hands of crews and organisations
that fall into the Scum Category.
They wouldn't be no where as Good as Dash or Han in their Rebel guise, But would be a hell of a lot of
fun to play with or against in whatever pilot choices they came up with.......if FFG were thinking about it
I Personally would Love to see some Scum Cards come out for the YT models already Available.
But then I'm Slightly bias as its my favorite faction in Xwing ![]()
We Already have cross over ships in the Z95, Ywing, HWK 290 and Firspray.
So it seems to be a Natural thing to have the YT's as a Scum option.
and Option being the word, for those that don't like the idea, you wouldn't have to purchase them.
Or play against them if you didn't want too.
"do you get many of the YT Models in 100 point Tournaments and store games out there ?"
I have only ever played against a Falcon and Outrider once.
But in any case. it just adds more spice to the game.......and more FUN to play with.
And I would to able to use my Scum YT's officially.
I have a lot of fun with them in Friendly Games.....I use the Lower point cost no name cards when
I use the Models in friendly game play, and its a Blast
Maybe they will Introduce them in some way. or Maybe they wont.
"But I am Hoping they do"
All the best,
Barry.
There are a metric crapton of potential Scum pilots and titles for the YT-1300 (take a look at the "fast ship" link in my signature for examples.
I wouldn't be averse to seeing a Scum variant if the YT-1300, so long as it a: used Outer Rim Smuggler stats as it's starting point and b: played noticeably different ti the Rebel version.
A YT-1300 with an illicit slot would be interesting, as would Scum crew.
That said, the YT-2000 seems like the best bet for Scum, because you'd want the Azzameen family to be able to fly together.
That said, Scum are already ahead of both other factions when it comes to large based ships...
When I caught a glimpse of Heroes of the Resistance.
I thought....Ohhhh I wonder if....nope.
No Scum YT options yet.
Maybe one day.
