It's not bad. I prefer Dengar to K4 in almost all circumstances, both of which are redundant with Predator. Just Veteran Instincts might be better. At least until Fearlessness comes out, which would be ridiculously sweet on Bossk. The merc seems unnecessary, 4-lom might be a better choice. Feedback pirates are always an ok choice, not amazing but you get what you pay for.

Are there other ships that would be better to use than the pirates?

That depends on what you want the list to do. For example, I quite like pairing a YV666 with Dengar, Zuckuss, 4-LOM with Manroo with recspec. Manaroo can pass tokens if the YV is stressed, allowing zuckuss free reign to stress up the YV.

I agree with everything Inq has said, may Zuckuss instead of the Merc. Copilot after you've dropped Predator and K-4 for Dengar.

Second what he said about the Z's, too... I'm running two Slavers kitted out with two Bug Zappers. Pretty destructive.

do all of those upgrades come with the Punishing One expansion?

Lose Mangler and title.

Replace Predator with Veteran Instincts, K4 with Dengar and Merc Co-pilot with 4-LOM.

Boba crew is highly counter-productive to Bossk's effect, so that should go too. Maybe Outlaw Tech for full mods on full-stop.

If you plan on keeping a Z escort formation, that gives you 12 pts for HLC, illicit of your choice (Damps and FA are great on him) and a bid.

Zuckuss and 4-Lom come with the Misthunter and Dengar and Fett come in the Jumpmaster...

I know, it's so frustrating sometimes =/

is this list any better?

You've got a big fat PS9 Bossk who's not that bad (although I'd go for 4-L0M over Boba Fett, since he and Zuckuss are such great pals), but the Z-95s are kind fat with the Hull Upgrades. At that point, you're probably better off with some old school, TLT Y-Wings.

U-Boats drove Y-Wings out of the meta, but U-Boats are starting to decline and they're still relatively solid for the cost.

That list sounds fun. I do like using TLT Y wings. Also, what do you mean by U-boats?

If you are gonna zuckuss, get rid of engine upgrade because you would be too bogged down by stress to use it.

I would get rid of the hound's tooth title because it's just a z95 and a naked z95 does nothing with no extra weaponry or feedback does nothing (well except blocking).

If you want a more nimble Bossk, try daredevil.

With the extra points, put vectored thrusters into those Pirates; you will be surprised by how much longer they live all of a sudden.
