Latts Razzi (crew), Black Market Slicer Tools, and Zuckuss have introduced a "Stress as Currency" mechanic. Receive Stress FOR ________, Remove Enemy Stress FOR _________.
The first Scum Epic Ship will naturally want to crew Zuckuss in attempt to exploit what are now outdated Epic Ship Rules in regards to Stress. All the upside with ZERO downside as Epic Ships simply discard all Stress. In fact, this makes Zuckuss an auto-include on all C-ROCS as the rules currently stand. Leaving Latts Razzi and BMST in a bad place design-wise (Epic).
A simple solution would be to allow Stress to stockpile on all Epic ships IF ONLY to avoid devaluing Latts Razzi and BMST in Scum Epic... especially Mirror Matches.
Stress as Currency, please update Epic Ship Rules
That'd work, but it's more likely they'll just specifically make Zuckuss crew Small or Large Ship Only.

Similar to the Navigator(Epic) ban. Which I think would be sad and not future-ready. We all know that StressAsCurrency is here to stay -- it's one of the KEY COMPONENTS in modern Scum meta.
It's rather arbitrary that Epic Ships would continue to auto-discard Stress in this new era of XWING (post-StressAsCurrency)... I'm all for Stress having zero effect on Epic Ships, just keep it on the table for Latts Razzi to play with.
