I am not that good at coming up with good, original builds - so let's try another one!

Fenn Rau

Fearlessness

Seismic Torpedo (could be dropped)

Title

Talonbane Cobra

Fearlessness

Vectored Thrusters

Zuckuss

Fearlessness

FCS

Boba Fett

Cloaking Device

Stygium

Title/TB

Was thinking of changing the Seismic for autothrusters, but honestly I want to be in range one and AT doesn't really do me any good there. Thoughts? How bas is it?

Its pretty bad

Fearlessness is already a horribly situational card, but when you play Biggs like I do it's literally worthless :P

Oh! My entire squad is at range 1...except Biggs he's at range 2

Guess you're **** out of luck :P

I think Fenn really wants ptl for max maneuverability. Maybe a stealth device instead of the seismic?

I like that cobra build, I bet that when he makes is one run before exploding it will be head on and vt will help him get to range 1. I'd put glitterstim though.

Zuckuss though looks like the odd man out. He'll have a real tough time getting into range 1 and will get burned down posthaste. A bump master would fit there and Intel agent might help with any super aces.

Yeah, people are excited for Fearlessness but like...you will not see that card in competitive lists.

I do think we can do Manaroo Aces, though:

Fenn Rau (28)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Autothrusters (2)
Concord Dawn Protector (1)
Talonbane Cobra (28)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Cloaking Device (2)
Vectored Thrusters (2)
Manaroo (27)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
K4 Security Droid (3)
Unhinged Astromech (1)
Rigged Cargo Chute (1)
Total: 98
And while it's not as good as Palp Aces, because Palp Aces can turtle up way harder and actually protect their small ship point investments, there are some good things to be said for PS9 aces who both get 5 red dice at R1 and a "Palp Shuttle" (Manaroo) that can hand out piles of Focus Tokens and Target Locks like it's Mardi Gras and STILL maneuver and bump in ways that the actual Palp Shuttle could only dream about.
Kinda excited to try it out. If you're interested in Scum Aces, you might give it a shot.
