Being the stubborn guy that I am, I refuse to let this list go as I feel like there can be a way to optimize action economy and token sharing among this list. Admittedly, this list requires more play and testing, but initial thoughts?

Fenn Rau

Adaptability - as a free slot and gives Fenn Rau the ability to shoot first over many

Concord Dawn Protector - this title is a must for Fenn as with only 4 hull, it is needed for his survival

Manaroo

Push The Limit - allows Manaroo to use both the Focus and Target Lock, which can be sent to Fenn or IG 88

IG-88D - this does not benefit Manaroo, but will give IG-88 the ability to pass his very important evade token to Manaroo or to Fenn

Unhinged Astromech - included to help clear the stress after using PTL

IG-88C

Push The Limit - allows IG-88 to get the Focus, Boost and Evade all in one and then with Manaroo, can give those tokens to Fenn or Manaroo if necessary

Collision Detector - it is a free slot and could bode well in the instances IG-88 needs to boost and there is debris in front

IG-2000 - used to sync with Manaroo

My only strat for this is not to let Fenn go in by himself at Range 1 - he gets melted, but if you support him with 2 beefy ships with decent attack and actions, Fenn can easily melt most of the ships in the field.

I consider this a decent scum equivalent to a Palp shuttle, but with more actions and maneuverability. The only thing you are losing is that 2nd ace, but IG-88 has enough maneuvers and attack, agility, hull, shield to be a decent hitter.

Unfortunately IG-88D only gives Manaroo C's ability; it doesn't give C Manaroo's ability.

Unfortunately IG-88D only gives Manaroo C's ability; it doesn't give C Manaroo's ability.

Well that just ruined all my thoughts, hopes and plans .

Back to the drawing board!

Fenn is also not worth it without Push the Limit. There's nothing more heartbreaking than rolling 5 attack dice and completely whiffing. Having push the limit makes that much less likely (also much easier to get into range 1 in the first place).

Having said that, I think this sort of list is still theoretically possible if you use Attani Mindlink. However, I would not bother with fenn rau in such a list. One of the generic dawn pilots that have access to EPT will do just fine:

IG88 C w/ mindlink, IG2000 & autothrusters = 39

Manaroo w/ mindlink, IG88D & engine upgrade = 33

Dawn Vet w/ mindlink, protector title & autothrusters = 26

98

With the last two points, I would probably put an R4 agromech on Manaroo. Or Blackmarket slicer tools. Actually, you could get BMST on both manaroo and IG88C (not a terrible idea at all).

The first idea that came to mind with an IG-88 crew list

IG-88C - Autothrusters,IG-2000, Adaptability - 38

Trandoshan Slaver - Dengar, 4-LOM, IG-88D, Engine Upgrade - 38

Concord Dawn Veteran - Fearlessness, Concord Dawn Protector - 24
