For 5 points, Wookiee Commandos on Tantive IV would make for a rather large increase in firepower for the corvette.
Wave 11 article is up!
Bump.
Some remarks:
The pilot skill distribution of the Auzituck (1/3/5/7) is rather unusual for rebels, that's a typical scum distribution.
What unique salvaged astro comes with the Scuurg? Probably Bo Shek's R4-E1?
@Johen Dood
I do not think that Jonus is allowed to modify the Unguided Rockets, only Focus. There is a meaning with the akward text on hte Unguided Rockets card. That's probably going to be clarified in a coming FAQ.
@Vineheart01
I do not play Armada. In which way is the Scurrg disgusting there?
@ not working

How is it awkwardly worded? It's quite clear that only thing that can modify Unguided Rockets is the attacker spending a focus. So no Palp, Dengar, Predator, Jonus, TLs, Sensor Jammer. Elusiveness, M9-G8; R7 Astro etc.

I am not a native speaker. Thus , reading it now I see, its not totally clear want I meant. I meant: Jonus is not working. Unguided rockets says only Focus modding possible, albeit slightly strangely formulated, intentionally just to exclude anything else than focus.
Now people could argue that it's not clear which card overrides which, thus: "Jonus overrides the rocket's restriction", but the text on the rocket card takes precedence I'd say. And thats's probably going to be corroborated in a coming FAQ.

spelling
It's an odd one, because normally the only thing which is completely paramount is 'cannot' (i.e. your dice cannot be modified except by spendsing a focus token for its default effect), so they could definitely have written it to work exactly as it appears to - but they haven't.
I assume external mods won't work, but the final ruling will remain to be seen.
On another note, does it tick anyone else off a little that they seem to have changed their policy WRT card fans and put them such that the lowest PS generic is on top now?
So much less available information.

On one hand I love knowing the base cost for each ship, on the other it was exciting to know at least one pilot ability before so you would have a better picture of what FFG intended for that ship.
Each ship will get its own article, not to worry.
Glad to see that Chewbacca isn't a Gunship pilot too. Didn't want a Sabine repeat.

I'm not worried, I'm fully expecting to know all but one card or dial from each pack before release.
Just mildly chagrinned not to know more right now.

Agreed. Plus, Chewbacca crew will be amzaing on this ship.
Not sure this has been mentioned yet but has anyone else noticed the Auzituck gunship has a weird attack symbol on it's cards?
Also think it's neat to see the bomber has cards for two different factions.

Don't forget gunner!
Wookiee fleet, away!

You referring to the 180 firing arc?

Ah, that's what it is. Interesting. I don't play Scum so that symbol was new to me

Here comes the Trandoshian Condition card:
Slave Trader:
When attacking the Auzituck Gunship, the YT-1300 piloted by Chewbacca or any ship that has the Wookie Commandos, Chewbacca or Gunner Crew cards equipped, you may change 1 {hit} result to a {critical} result.
EDIT:
Actually, just giving any Trandoshan or Wookie ship "A score to Settle" for free and in addition to their normal EPT option would also be quite thematic.

Could still be a wookie under there!

With Rebels getting a pilot for a Scum ship with Captain Nym, I think it would have been only fair to include a Scum card for Black Krrsantan in the Auzituck.

That's how it was Wave 4 and earlier

"Cannot" always takes precedence. Anything that says you can do a thing is overwritten by anything that says you cannot do that thing.
Comparison: BTL-A4 Y wings and any turret upgrade. The turrets say you can attack out of arc, but A4 prevents it. Same idea.
This order of priority is fairly consistent in many games:
Cannot>Must>May

Unguided Rockets says "your attack dice can only be modified" this is different from Snapshot which says "you cannot modify your attack dice." Source of modification makes no difference to Unguided Rockets. The dice are locked down, not just your (that ship's) ability to modify them.

I don;t question that the card will work the way it's supposed to - the only modification possible being the firer's focus token - but it's odd and disappointing (but sadly unsurprising) that they didn't write it in a way consistent with prior rules.

The way I see it it's very elegant rule, neatly and clearly written. There are no doubts at all how doest it work, so who cares if it is in line with the other cardS? New card, new way of writting it's rules, nothing wrong with that.
Much better wording than for example, targeting synchroniser.
Because it could have been elegantly written AND consistent with existing rules. Quite easily:
Your attack dice can be modified only by spending a focus token for its standard effect.
versus
Your attack dice can not be modified except by spending a focus token for its standard effect.
Literally one word changed and one word added to make it consistent with the general rule that 'cannot' can't be overridden.
