How would you build it?

YV-666
Jumpmaster
Firespray.



with everything generic, you have 11 points to play with, not much...


Maybe

Manaroo + Adaptability
Latts Razi + Dengar, 4lom and zuckuss
Mandalorian Mercenary
All P.S. 5 - some synergy with Manaroo+Latts

Official answer: I wouldn't.

As an exercise, maybe:

Trandoshan Slaver (29):

  • Dengar (3)
  • 4-LOM (1)
  • Zuckuss (1)

Total: 34 pts

Contracted Scout (25):

  • Intimidation (2)
  • Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)

Total: 29 pts

Mandalorian Mercenary (35):

  • Calculation (1)
  • Boba Fett (1)

Total: 37 pts

MandMerc just takes up too many points. Subpar Bumpmaster and standard Party Bus can only get you so far.

I'd drop Calculation from that Mando Merc for Adaptability, add Slave-I and Long-Range Scanners. Then with your 1 point add Intel Agent to your BumpMaster. You're right that the Mando Merc is the weak link, but it's sorta thematic and the list sounds fun!

How would you build it?

YV-666

Jumpmaster

Firespray.

OK you got me, which ones which and why? :D

Boba Fett (39)

- Veteran Instincts

- 4-LOM

- Engine Upgrade

-- total = 45

Trandoshan Slaver (29)

- Dengar

- Zuckuss

- feedback array

-- total = 35

Kaato Leachos (15)

- Deadeye

- Concussion Missile

- Guidance Chimps

-- total = 20

A powerful build with YV, Jump, & firespray just can't happen.

Alternatively you can swap the YV for a U-boat jumpmaster depending upon personal preference.

Firesprays are just to expensive and the Mando Merc has the worst value of the 4 pilots.

Kaato with missile currently is the best 20 point scum ship, and it's just not that great. A 20 point Kihraxz is even slightly worse. Scum wants the fang fighter so bad. One of those generics should be in the low 20 point range with auto-thrusters if they costed it correctly.

* examples of excellent aprox. 20 point ships

- tempest tie advanced with accuracy corrector (21)

- Zeta Leader with wired (21)

- Omega Squadron with juke & comm relay (22)

- Green Squadron A-wing with Adaptability, crackshot, & auto-thrusters (20)
