I was thinking of trying a campaign format where Scum ships could be hired by the other two factions.

Can anyone think of any Scum/Rebel or Scum/Imperial combinations that would be dangerously good?

I'm thinking that Manaroo has some potential to be too good with her token passing and Imperial Aces/Palp.

edit: I can't read. I think I just memorize words.

I'll think on this.

Wes and Palob stealing all the tokens would be funny

I don't think it would be OP, but if you can "hire" scum crew on rebel ships, Greedo on "Leebo"-2400 would be neat

Same crew card in Chewy in the Falcon might border on OP

Sessiru + Howlrunner, or Biggs.

Palpatine Everywhere!

Granted, that's mostly because he's way, way too cheap, but still.

The game needs this! Imperial assault allows you to mix scum with rebels and imps. That would break list building wide open!

Please no, just no. Lets keep the factions as unique as possible! No mixing. Play by house rules if you must, but lets keep this away from the main game.

I totally agree that this is not needed for the actual game - just a bit of fun!

I guess you could set a percentage, up to which you could field Scum, but they are not allowed to use Illicid upgrades.

I've seen someone custom make a title card that said something like this, would balance it out against Scum only, or at least that's the thought behind it

Emperor + R5-P8 looks like fun.

Etahn A'baht

Bossk

Again, probably not game-breaking. Less efficient than other ways of giving Bossk crits.

Sabine and Emon?

Wedge, Biggs, Talonbane?

I guess I can only come up with B-level combos so far.

Sessiru + Howlrunner, or Biggs.

If you can go to 150 points how about Serrissu, Etahn, and 98 points worth of CrackSwarm

Bossk with the crew of 4-Lom, Zuckuss & Darth Vader.

4-Lom stops you from using that token.

Zuckuss makes you re-roll those green dice.

Vader gives you a critical damage, which Bossk can then change it to 2 hits.

That's besides all the other goodies you can load Bossk up with.

Hmm it probably will never matter, but I would assume the Vader crib would be damage dealt by Vader, not Bossk, and unable to be changed to 2 regular hits

The New Rebel list is just 3x Jumpmasters?

Palpatine Everywhere!

Granted, that's mostly because he's way, way too cheap, but still.

Palpshuttle + PtL Corran + Biggs?

Biggs tanks the hits from U-Boats, using Palps to stay alive as necessary. Once the alpha strike is gone, you've got Corran with two actions, regen, and Palpatine for support.

Sounds pretty solid to me.

Attani Mindlink on A-wings or Poe could get interesting.

Its pretty easy to break at 100 points, IE 2x kitted out phantoms with K4 and Serissou/Biggs/Whatever. We play this all the time with all faction restrictions removed and minimum 2 ships from different factions at 59 points. 50 minutes rounds makes this format about perfect for a fun night of xwing. I don't think we've had a duplicate list yet!

Does t work. Bossk triggers before damage is dealt. Vader is after the attack is resolved

Hera, Ezra, and Zuckuss flying on Bossk. Permanent parking lot, Chiraneau-level crit generation, and the enemy is rerolling all their evades.

Sabine Wren flying on Slave 1's Emon Azameen, with Dace Bonearm in support, can deal three damage with a Connors Net... and Emon can throw four of the things. 1 from Connors, 1 from Sabine, and 1 from Dace (remember the ion token? Yep...)

Ruthlessness with a TLT could be funny, but I'm not sure which HWK makes it giggle the most. Maybe throw it on Dace in the above list just so he can enjoy the autodamage, right up until you realise that Azameen is not going to be very thankful...

I'm sure something can be done with a Phantom, too. Jan Ors on Whisper would certainly, shall we say, emphasise the point. Then again, so too might just running Dengar, leaving the systems slot free for Sensor Jammers...

... oh, right. Phantoms with Roark. That can't possibly go poorly.

I would add some kind of limitation too like you can put a Scum crew on the Client faction ship (I/e: Boba in the Shuttle) but you cannot put a Client crew on a scum ship (No emperor on a YV-666).

Makes some kind of sense and adds a tiny bit of limitation on things.

Bossk with C3-P0, "Gonk", Hera and experimental interface. AKA I stay here and no die.

Also, Chewie crew plus Greedo.

and Oicunn carrying Zeb and Chopper

Luke in a decimator

or if you want to make something super annoying Chewie carrying a Rebel captive, C3-P0 and falcon title.

Hera lets you do the red maneuvers, but you'll never get another action once you do your stop, so gonk and EI are wasted points. Better off with zuckuss or dengar
