I still think the Deci should have the evade action, personally. Ghost does, for similar points and better hull:shield ratio. I wonder whether it might have had native Evade if it were to come out today..
Why is Boba Fett crew not popular?
I used Boba at Regionals to great effect, but I've found it less and less useful of late. At Regionals, that single point card chucked two Palps, a HLC from Dash, and a PTL from a Soontir out the door. Since then, it's been considerably less useful, mainly due to Defenders, compared to pretty much any other Scum only crew. If it comes down to Zuckuss or Boba for your single point crew choice, you're always going to get more from Zuckuss. Hell, you even get more from 4-LOM with /x7 Defenders on the prowl.
If Ysanne was either 2pts OR just a flatout evade token, i'd use her. The fact that shes expensive as hell and can be stress-canceled really urks me.
Besides, that third crew slot on the Deci has been taken by coplilot for me. Seriously, gunner/copliot/vader RAC is just mean lol

Inorite.
I was running HotCoP/Gunner/VI/Engine RAC with Lone Wolf x7 Stealth Rex at the weekend and it works, but rex's stealth pops too quickly too often, and Vader woudl have been SO useful SO many times. I'm changing it for the tourney I go to next weekend probably - but that's Hangar Bay and I'm not sure what Scum to run. It probably winds up being Dengar Bossk with HotCoP Gunner on Bossk for the troll.

I like Ysanne, but I agree that she needs to be just a bit different. "Assign an Evade token" instead of "Evade free action" would fix, as it is right now, she is counter-productive with other Decimator cards, like Fleet Officer (or the upcoming General Hux) or the Dauntless title due to stress. Its one thing to not synergize for something, but it is actually counter-productive with those cards on the same ship.
By the time you score that crit that you need to trigger Boba, you are already dealing hull damage on the ship, so you are very close to killing it anyway. Unless we are talking about a Decimator or a Ghost. Then you are still very close to killing it since they have no evades anyway...
Zuckuss killer.
So you're going to put this combo into your list to prepare for a card that costs 1/4 of its price? That's the problem. Paying one point to snipe an Engine Upgrade or the Emperor sounds good, except that it's hard to make happen. Paying 4 points to snipe any one point card is a waste of points and resources and could put you in poor position, especially considering that card will likely have already triggered once or twice. He's fine at one point. It's never anything but a waste to spend more points to get him to work.
Your right.
Zuckuss should have its cost increased.
I'm not here to make that argument. I'll just say that Zuckuss is an enormous risk on any ship that's not a Party Bus or can't take Overclocked R4 AND be fed by Manaroo.
It's every piece of Dengaroo that makes it nasty. No single part of it is overpowered.
With so many Palp aces out there he should be a very good pick. What makes him not so good?
You gotta ask yourself, is this comb worth the points and slots and action and attack.

it's not a wast if that card easily leads to you losing a 34 pt ship
Isard was on one of the top 32 I think. She's solid but maybe a touch overpriced.Right.Just one AFAICT - Outlaw Tech. ANd even he's not awful in the right context, just eclipsed by better things.Problem with boba isnt that hes bad, its that Scum have a ridiculously diverse and insane crew selection and only a few crew slots.
They have...what 2 scum only crew they dont use at all?
Greedo was in at least one list that I saw on the Worlds stream who's the other one who's just not worth much.
THough he's comedic on Bossk...
I never see either. But they arent bad, theyre outshadowed.
Bad is Moff Jerjerrod or Ysanne Isard. Complete jokes of a crew for their cost.
Bad would be Flight Instructor...
Hey I like flight instructor, on torkil, if the points allow, he has kept torkil flying far longer than it should have been several times for me
With only 3 shields I can imagine Boba being effective against Shadow Casters (remove Latts, title or engine upgrade)
He really just needs a Scum ship that's able to reliably deal critical hits.
Consider the Imperial options: Vader, Kylo Ren, and even the pilot Backdraft would all be fantastic combos with him.
It's not the card, it's that he's missing his combo. I'm confident it'll come eventually.

Fett was great on Proton Torp U-Boats. The ruling that allowed ordnance tokens to be discarded in place of cards hurt him some but the Deadeye+Agromech change did him in on U-Boats.

Any thing to fly along side of this and take advantage of kaiboshing your opponent's strategy?
Too bad HWK-290 doesn't have two crew slots. It would be nice to add Boba to this:
Trollkin Mux
-Autoblaster Turret
-Greedo
-Moldy Crow

Of those, only Kylo would combo. Boba has to be on the ship dealing the crit, and the crit has to be from the attack, so neither Vader (pilot or crew) nor Backdraft work.
RAC is the obvious combo if Boba crew were able to be taken by Imperials. And I think you'd see that a decent amount.
I ran a list with 2 generic firesprays where one had plasma torpedoes and 4LOM, and the other had concussion missiles and boba fett. N'dru and mindlink for everybody got me the actions I needed. Swatting deadeye off a jumpmaster was neat, removing a tactician from bossk was handy, and carving the emperor out of his shuttle was cool. But the only time out of those where I ended up absolutely needing to kill the upgrade card was the deadeye. Stress doesn't do that much to a ship that can fly lazily past you and shoot out its butt, and palpatine would've only triggered one more time before i killed him dead anyhow. Now, scouts are a little easier to deal with, and tail gunner exists. So I've put away the missiles and swapped N'dru for a protectorate starfighter.
