Will we see either A Dragon Pearl or a Star Jewel with a Z-95 as the next Scum Epic?
Either would be about the same size as the CR-90 or Raider and either could include a Z-95...Thoughts!

Nah m8.
Action IV.
I'm all for it! Can I preorder two?
The Jewel would be cool, but since Jabba is already coming with the C-ROC I think it's unlikely. 
I do hope Scum doesn't get a second huge transport before a corvette analog, but for some reason a lot of people seem to want that...

Action IV.
I think the Interceptor Frigate based off of the Action series more likely, or a Mandalorian frigate, giving the Scum faction a ship that could stand up to the Raider/Corellian Corvette.
Whatever the next Scum epic will be, it'll come with a StarViper update. Probably one with a "production variant" title to separate it from the Virago.
I think it should be a Black Sun themed expansion. To fix the Star Viper. You could have any of the assault ships that they use, or possibly a SoroSuub yacht.
It's gotta be a larger 2 card warship. It's not going to be another transport.
Star Jewel seems the most likely.

I agree with the idea that it has to be a larger two card warship!!!
Hopefully Scum Aces will be Starviper/Kihraxz, so the Star Jewel with Z95s seems possible. Jabba had six Headhunters aboard the Jewel as his guard...
Not really my cup o tea aesthetically, but its an ok ship. Would prefer something nastier, like the two I mentioned earlier, but I could live with it.
Crusader all the way.
It's a big armoured thing which can exchange blows with the raider and the Alderaan shovel handle.
Plus it's mandolorian built so ties in with the mando focus of the franchise of late.

^^ this!
Plus with a StarViper, and Zahn Consortium pilots! I'd buy two 
The first Scum epic is not even out yet so it will probably be awhile. there could be quite a few new options added in the next couple of years.
Star Jewel seems the most likely.
Based on...
Jabba is already in the transport, why release his ship separately?

Though your point about Jabba is valid, there are other Minstrel-class space yachts besides the Star Jewel in the lore.
Edited by DarthEnderXIf I had to bet I would put my money on the Death Gangs ship from TFA. It was shown(very briefly and in hologram) on screen. It got almost as much screen time as the Quadjumper so it's a shoe in!
said it before, but the main problem I would see with the Star Jewel are the maneuvering jet vanes...wouldn't they obstruct too much of the play surface, or do you make them removable ?
...otherwise, I'm all for it - I can [hopefully] still get an Action transport elsewhere 
It being the most well known privateer ship of that size.Based on...

Are you sure about it being the most well known though? I've only encountered it in Dark Forces, and its other appearances are a few comics and three books of which only one can be said to be really successful.
Other appearances are very few and far between. I think it's a bit of fanboy-bias, overestimating its stature (what I have with the Action-VI, but at least an Action Transport is shown in one of the films 
). We are not normal, we are far more invested than regular fans. .
I do think an Action transport is more likely, we know the developers have dipped into the Azzameen well, which could give them the Big Score, there's the Azure Queen (technically Action IVs but let's give them an upgrade 
) and the Wild Karrde, where you could get Mara Jade in a Z95 and a Thrawn counterpart in Talon Karrde.
It is of course also very likely that the developers will go another route altogether. .
Completely new design ala the Raider.
Khyraxz and Star viper will be in Scum Vets Most Wanted 2: Dead or Alive
Completely new design ala the Raider.
Considering that FFG created the Raider for X-Wing, I think it more likely that FFG will create a completely new raider/corvette sized ship for Scum.
edit: **** beaten!

Action IV was also in Empire at War: FoC as one of the core ships of the Zann Consortium, which gives a neat excuse to include a StarViper fix.
The Jewel would be cool, but since Jabba is already coming with the C-ROC I think it's unlikely.
As Unlikely as Palpatine and the Lambda Shuttle coming in different packages, I guess...

There is a slight difference between a general purpose Imperial shuttle that is all over the EU and a one of its kind ship that has been created with the sole purpose of carrying Jabba's fat bottom around the Galaxy.
Noooooooo!Completely new design ala the Raider.
Considering that I think the Raider is one of, if not the best looking ship of the EU...
