So here's how I would do it. I know the wording may be a bit off from FFG's style but I tried to be clear. I figure there would be a couple 1-Point Illicit & Mod upgrades in the boxes to go along with my idea. Please feel free critique my idea and post your ideas for the future of Scum.

Scum Epic Expansion:

Minstrel-class Cruiser “Jabba's Yacht” with docking rules.

Scyk M3-A Interceptor Alternate Paint-job (Hutt Colors)

2 Copies:

Stolen Shield Generator, Military Grade (SW:Rebels reference)

Increase your Shield value by 1. When your Shield value reaches “0” receive 2 Ion tokens.

Nice post. Brah the is already in HUTT Colors. But yeah we NEED a for sure for sure!

I'd like to see a different miniature for the Kihraxz, not just a different paintjob. Gameplay-wise they'd be interchangable (just like how a YT-1300 is a YT-1300, regardless of which dish your miniature has), but it would reflect the wide customization options that were available. Plus a Vaksai title.

That's actually a great idea...

Good ideas. I like this.

I like your stolen shield generator.

Which makes it a tricky ship to include with the yacht, unless it had some "elite guard" scheme (in which case I'd like 2 in-pack) or one particular Aces' personal livery.

Additionally, I don't know the canon, but have I read that is a compliment of Z's on the yacht?

(which aren't currently in Hutt colours, though they've already had a box and people probably have enough).

If it is to be the Scyk, and an "elite" generic, then they could add an Illicit slot to that as standard, without the need to consume the title slot. Would fit theme with Jabba giving his personal guard tricked-out rides.

I've just had a brain-storm (light showers, clearing in the afternoon) on how to address the whole Heavy Scyk conundrum...

... what about a new title that provides benefit to other Scyks (in general or particularly those with the Heavy title) - a support-type ship to act as spotter. Something that validates the 2pt-tax, and doesn't simply make the older title obsolete. Sort of like what the TIE Shuttle has done for bombers (but not just add crew).

Some sort of networked targeting would be the idea, but the support ship would also need a defensive buff, or the ability-range to stand-off, otherwise it'll go down in no time.

I am very fond of seeing the Scyk work in a hunting pack manner, with multiple slashing attacks to take down larger prey.

Perhaps something like a diluted Vessery... such as:

"Any other Scyk attacking a defender that this ship has a target lock on may convert one [eye] to a [hit]."

(or blank-to-hit or eye, or re-roll X dice, or get a free focus token)

The best alternate option would be a Vet repaint... people would like that plenty I think.

I agree, that would be nice, but doesn't really fit with a Hutt Epic ship...

...and the light-grey Spacer scheme is a little boring (and similarly off-the-mark with Hutt allegiance)

Would "elite markings" (similar to blood-strips on TIEs) be too little in differentiation?...

...it'd have the added benefit of being easy to free-hand* some sort of simple design onto standard Scyk expac models to get duplicates (rather than buying many Minstrels - thought there are some who wouldn't mind going down that path - looking right back at you JBRS ).

* = or FFG could include a sheet of water-slide decals in the box.

That would be cool too!

That would be cool too!

Make a sheet of Black Sun icons as well... that symbol looks tricky to free-hand.

I did one recently for my Faction Icons, since I have more sub-factions for my collection. You can see them all on my profile page here.

Just thinking same colors but different paintjob...maybe all purple with a gold highlight.

I like your idea generally. I do think that an elegant way to keep the Heavy title would be to create a cannon slot upgrade that adds... Whatever you want to add.

For instance:

Dirty Scyk (non-unique)

Title. M3-A Interceptor Only.

Your Upgrade bar gains the [illicit] Upgrade icon.

Increase your Hull value by 1.

0 Points

Instead of "title", make that a cannon. And for good measure, I'd toss on the Missile and Torpedo icons.

And maybe one more that slides into the Missile slot that adds the illicit and cannon and an extra hull.

My dream would be a scum triple aces pack. Starvipe, Kihraxz, Syck

Just put all the fixes in one box and please don't include any with a scum epic.

Epic format is essentially a separate game. Like Imperial Assault is. I just never ever have opportunities to play epic. Sadly I expect the Starviper fix to come with a scum epic cause of that leak awhile back. For some it's fine, but for me and others it's a pure FFG moneygrab to sell more epic ships. I won't buy one if this happens.

Mandal-Motors Custom

Title. StarViper Only.

Your Upgrade bar gains the [illicit] Upgrade icon.

At the start of the combat phase, if you have any red target lock tokens assigned to your ship, you may perform a free Boost action, Then receive 1 Stress token.

I like this a _lot_! I think I'd make a couple minor changes: let the StarViper boost or barrel roll. And don't give it a stress. The trigger condition is outside of the StarViper's control, so giving it a disadvantage would create a frustrating experience.

Thinking about it: I might make this a Torpedo slot upgrade. That way it could be combined with the title for interesting shenanigans. And also doesn't make the original title superfluous.

Triple Aces would be really nice. Possibly with extra goodies for other scum ships, as well, like in "Most Wanted". And call it "Most Wanted part 2 - Kessel death row" or something...

Regarding a S&V epic ship, I wish that never happens. Being the ragtag faction they are, it would be thematically right for S&V to have to rely on small and large base ships only in epic play. Boost them with interesting options for epic if needed, or include a conversion kit for GR-75 and/or Gozanti in the Aces pack, but that should be it.

The Kirhaxz simply needs a zero point upgrade slot for an astromech with built-in integrated to make it on part with the X-wing that it was modeled after.
