99 pnts. Weak vs torp scouts or the party bus ( has the cargo chute and mine to use early and cramp their maneuvering space), however looks like a solid answer to dengaroo or imp aces/ defenders.

Ventress hands around the double stress passively to deny action economy (hey mani!!!) while kath says "greens? What greens?"

I'd rather have Predator on Kath than Outmaneuver. Predator will work on every attack, letting you Boost or Evade at will, comboing nicely with Glitter and Tail Gunner to provide full mods on offense, and Outmaneuver with Tail Gunner is redundant against a lot of ships (Decimators, B-Wings, K-Wings, etc). I would like to see Asajj have more forms of dice modification as well, but I don't have experience with the Shadow Caster yet.

Most meta builds right now are 2 greens or more, but you have a point. Was tempted to run ptl on ventress but i can then see it being far too hard to keep a target at range 2 and dodge obstacles on a large bases 3 speed greens at ps6

Dengar crew and PTL on Asajj works better in my few games, You'll want to be able to evade every turn if you're going to get shot. I don't know that PS 8 is that much better than PS 6 in most cases. Those Black Market Slicers are also nice to have PTL for, hit them with BMSlicers and then evade, and you still get to reroll shots with Dengar. The title is really nice as well bc you'll want to be in range 1-2 anyway and giving out stress, and then hitting a small ship and throwing him in a cloud of debris or an asteroid is a lot of chance for collateral damage, which you'll need with only two ships

This is basically what I've been doing with my Ventress as well. 3 hard turn (green) plus a boost lets you circle enemies and often keeps you in range 2 to get her ability.

I really like Dengar on Ventress. She has action economy issues, so being able to always mod your dice is extremely beneficial. I also run her with Engine because its basically essential to keep her alive if the enemy tries to focus on her.

Lastly, Black Market Slicer Tools all the way. They are so much better than Rigged Cargo Chute. Its true that you might not need BMST every single game, but I've tried the Chute a few times and have not even used it once. Her fast moves make it extremely situational. It might be better on a different kind of ship? But BMST basically allows Ventress to practically solo palp aces if you fly it right (and that alone makes it totally worth its cost!). In fact, I would go so far as to say that FFG screwed up on this upgrade. It is waaaaay too powerful for its 1 point cost. But ah well. People will adapt...

The pendulum swings

Can you think of an illicit upgrade (besides dampeners) so far that hasn't been 2pts over costed?

Huh? Most of the illicit upgrades are really good!

The only stinky plops are deadman's switch and maaaaaybe hotshot blaster? Cloaking Device is very niche, but still pretty **** good (Palob in particular loves this 2 pointer).
