I want to try the mindlinked Fenn plus two Contracted Scouts combo for a few games and Im looking for advice regarding those last couple of points you have to play with.

The base for the list is pretty standard:

Fenn/mindlink/title/autothrusters 32 pts

2x Contracted Scouts with mindlink, extra munitions, R4 Aggromech 60 pts

So, by picking plasma torpedoes for both Scouts I would have 2 points to spend on crew options which could be 4-Lom or Intelligence Agent. There is also the option of picking Proton Torpedoes plus Boba for one of the Scouts and plasma with no crew for the other.

Boba plus protons is the sexiest option, but do people generally feel Boba makes a difference enough times make the team before Intelligent Agent or 4-LOM?

Then there is also the question of spending the last point on an initiative bid for Fenn...

Boba and 4-LOM

Thing is you can only get Boba (with protons) or 4-LOM with 1 point to spare (with plasmas).

You could do both with Plasmas for both. While it isn't stellar, the odds of rolling a crit aren't terrible (though they certainly aren't as good as the odds with a Proton.) Still, it means that you can force damage through more often overall, while still keeping the toolbox card that is Boba.

I think Im going to start off with 4-LOM and Intelligence Agent and Plasma Torps on both. 4-LOM is a lock I think and Intelligence Agent should help at some point in most games. Boba is definitely the most fun option but I wonder if he is too situational in comparison to the other two.

Nah, against every list he is pure gold, though you do need to score that crit first. I can guarantee that any given ship has an upgrade card that you'd rather burn in the fires of hell rather than see again, and Boba does just that for. Or maybe he sends it for a dip in some carbonite? Either way, it won't bother you again.

Go with Boba. I think he is great against most rebel tank lists, especially Rey. Killing 3po can end her. Same with any Palp or Kanan list. Scum is good because of cards like Boba.

Go with Boba. Money vs. Kanan/Biggs.

Boba and 4-Lom/Inspiring recruit. Depending if you are afraid of high agi tokeners or double stress.
