Just got my Shadow Caster in the mail yesterday and was wondering what everyone else thinks would be a good combo for the new IG-88D crew card that doesn't use the Shadow Caster. This may sound stupid but I was thinking Zuckuss or Bossk...Was loving the idea of Bossk being able to Segnor's Loop then that was dashed when I noticed it was the same pilot and crew to do that so that dream is dead. But I was thinking Bossk with EU with 88C or go W/O EU and use 88B with cannon of your choosing.

Anyone else have any combo's that they are excited to try?

I wish the crew card stacked with the IG title card....would make for some interesting combinations.

Well, since you like the YV-666, I have 2 lists that fit the bill. They are very similar, just depends on your preferred playstyle:

List A

IG88B w/ predator, advanced sensors, HLC, blackmarket slicer tools, IG-2000 & autothrusters = 52

Moralo Eval w/ HLC, IG88D, zuckuss, dengar & inertial dampeners = 47

99

List B

IG88B w/ crack shot, FCS, HLC, blackmarket slicer tools, IG-2000 + autothrusters = 49

Moralo Eval w/ HLC, IG88D, 4-LOM, dengar & engine upgrade = 50

99

If you don't want an initiative bid on list B, you could take either Inertial Dampeners or Blackmarket Slicer Tools on Eval.

And here's a totally 'off-the-wall' idea that I've been thinking about (since I love Palob):

IG88C w/ predator, advanced sensors, IG-2000, blackmarket slicer tools & autothrusters = 45

Palob w/ predator, twin laser, IG88D, blackmarket slicer tools & engine upgrade = 35

Zealous Recruit = 20

100

I love the fact that Palob is actually a bit durable here. And double slicer tools potentially gives a lot of meta lists fits (not to mention that palob w/ engine is really great against Dengaroo & torpedo scouts).

What about flying it in Dengar with IG88C. I think it could drastically improve action economy and boost damage output. I haven't had a chance to build a list with it yet though.

They used the IG-88D as crew for this exact reason... the pilot ability does not give segnor loop move, it let you use another template instead of the normal one for segnor loop. Bossk does not have the segnor loop 3 so he could not do it. In fact, except for the Aggressor, there is no ship with this maneuver, so the IG-88D would have given nothing as a pilot paired with the crew.

Classic IG-B's Agressor with YV-666 Moralo HLC Zuckuss Bossk IGcrew.

First Moralo shot didn't hit? Bossk+Zuckuss make it ok the second time! x)

Still looking for a list with IG-C and an EU+IGcrew based ship, maybe a HWK?

Well its not important because it can't happen but the way I read the IG-88D pilot card is you can replace a hard turn 3 into a segnor's loop...would make Bossk a bigger beast. It makes sense why they didn't let you use D's pilot ability. Besides there aren't any scum ships other than the Shadowcaster, Stapler, Firespray, and Jumpmaster that would be able to use D's pilot ability as Mist hunter and Hwk don't have hard 3s anyway.

I actually spent a lot of time the other night thinking about how I would use this crew card. I came up with several builds as I enjoy playing most of the Scum ships (until recently it was the only faction I owned). Some of them are wacky, some are nuts due to lack of sleep. I figure I'll give them a whirl and see what happens.

Build 1

IG-B- Predator, HLC, FCS, Black Market Slicer Tools, Autothrusters, title

Boba- Pred, Tractor Beam, IG Crew, Black Market Slicer Tools, Engine Upgrade.

This is one of the weird ones but I figure if Boba misses he can tractor someone for IG who will then be throwing 4 dice at them. It will eat some ships alive.

Build 2

IG-B- Fearlessness, HLC, FCS, Black Market, Autothrusters, title

Bossk- VI, Mangler, IG crew, Dengar, Latts, Black market, EU

Build 3

IG-C- Pred, Sensor Jammer (surprising number of people fail to deal with this properly), Autothrusters, Title, Black Market

Dengar- Title, PTL, IG crew, Black Market, EU

Build 4

IG-B- Fearless, HLC, FCS, Black Market, Auto, Title

Moralo- HLC, IG crew, Dengar, Latts, EU

Build 5

IG-C- Predator, Sensor Jammer, Black Market, Autothrusters, title

Torkil- Dorsal Turret, EU, Title, IG crew

Concord Dawn Vet- Fearlessness, Title

Build 6

IG-B- Pred, FCS, HLC, Auto, Black Market, Title

Zuckuss- PTL, Advanced Sensors, IG crew, Black market, Title

Again, I was tired when I made these. Even now I'm trying to remember what my logic was with some of them and I'm not really sure. But it might give you something to start with and refine (if you do refine any of them I'd love to hear it because several of them need refining).

Read the card again...

You may execute the {3-Left Segnor's Loop} or {3-Right Segnor's Loop} maneuver using the corresponding {3-Left Turn} or {3-Right Turn} template.

Where does it say you can turn around on a hard-3 manoeuver?

I'm sorry, you are completely correct...I assumed it was pretty much giving it the tallon roll template...I was confusing the two for some reason.
