VT will be great ob Talonbane. Add a one point Elite Talent like Mindlink, Crackshot or Fearlessness and he's good to go.

Or you could fly fenn Rau for much the same price and far greater opponent's fear.

Both is not impossible, either, but scum still really lacks a chunky mid 20s centerpiece yet...

Fenn Rau - Attanni Mindlink, Concord Dawn Protector - 30

Talonbane Cobra - Attanni Mindlink, Vector Thrusters - 31

Palob Godalhi - Attanni Mindlink, Moldy Crow - 24

15 points left to trick the ships out.

Autothrusters or Stealth Device on Fenn? The combination of his ability and the Fang title would lean towards Stealth, I guess. (3)

Could put the Cloaking Device on Talonbane to give him some additional movement options. (2)

That leaves 10 points for Crew, Turret, Illicit and Mods on Palob.

Z-95, feedback, 99 pt bid.

Good shout - drop the Crow title and give Palob Dorsal Turret/Autoblaster Turret?

Or switch Feedback to Black Market Slicer Tools, and give Palob Vectors and Autoblaster?

I much prefer 4+ ship lists, and the BMST Binayre blocker would be a nasty addition.

I look forward to running zuckuss cobra and Rau for maximum range 1 smashing pleasure.

I agree with what's been said earlier. Keeping Talonbane cheap with a reposition is the way to go. Ran him with mindlink and engine and he does the job. If you can fit the cloaking device it's completely worth the 1 round where you need it. Ran him as a cloak and hammer against dengaroo and snuck him into that out of arc range 1 sweet spot.

I admit it. It's my fault. I can't get enough of them.

edit: I want that rematch, Rodafawa!

Of course you lost this fight, your opponent is using Palp Aces.

Fantastic, close game though, and a lot of fun. I took the shrivelled old wizard with me.
