I haven't flown this list yet. The concept is that The Ball of Hate (Scout) just gets in the middle and jams things up and Gonks almost every turn to keep using that FA. N'Dru is looking to get off Missiles and use crane to get more. After initial CM shot he's the focus engine. Asajj circles and passes out stress and tractor beam tokens and tanks.

Thoughts, ideas and criticisms are welcome. It's not quite the token stacker that Paratanni is but 6-8 hits on that Palp/Ren shuttle from N'Dru makes me less nervous about being shown the dark side.

I love the idea of "the ball of hate". I need to try this out. also, the list as a whole seems amazingly funny to watch with a large base blocker, a constant stream of focused cluster missiles and a stress/tbeam tank is lovely. ive recently started using mindlink and I have to question as to why I didn't start using it earlier... the action economy is huge.

So I played the list today vs Scout with Swarm Leader, two naked light Sycks and a bombed up Constable perms-cloak Quad. First round of shooting get N'Drus Cluster off and do 4 dmg to his Quad. He retaliated with 5 dice Swarm Leader shot. Three crits and two hits natural. Bye bye N'Dru. Bummer but I had to change tactics. Ran with BBoH and let him chase. Ran down Quad with Asajj and pumped some damage into Scout. Finished off the rest of the list with 6 hull left on Asajj and 4 on BBoH. The combo of FA and Gonk and still getting focus from ML was really nice.

The reason that Attani Mindlink lists were not utilized more when it was first released is because Triple Torp Scouts were quickly killing off part of the list. The power of this list drops as soon as the first list goes down. In addition, until the release of the Shadowcaster, Scum did not have a ship that was tanky enough, but still packed a punch. Asajj fills that role perfectly and the stress that she can hand out before combat can really make things difficult for your opponent.

- Shadow caster - not so much use.

+Manaroo - so you can semi Glitterstim Suhlak.
